New First Class Amenity Kit
AA will introduce new First Class amenity kits on December 1st. The case is neoprene and designed to hold an iPad, as apparently many people complained that there was no use for the current generation of bags after the flight. We were told it had slightly upgraded contents, but the only difference I can see from the current F/J kit is the addition of a microfiber cloth for glasses/phones etc.

Very snazzy!!! I'm guessing it is for First Class only? Or will Business get it as well?
(it would be the first time in a long while that AA went to the effort to differentiate the amenity kits for the different premium classes of service)
Oh, and where did you get an advance copy of the kit? The black tabletop looks like one of the ones near the buffet area at the JFK FL....and the glass looks suspiciously like one of the FL glasses too!

It is for First only. I don't know if they are changing the J kits, but I think not based on the way this was presented. The Facebook EXP group had "cocktails and conversation" at the DFW A AC last night with Rob Friedman (VP, Marketing) and Jim Moses (Managing Director, Premium Services) and all attendees were given these kits.
The picture is from a table near the bar at the DFW C AC (where I'll be for the next hour).

The thread title New "First" class..... Contains a clue to which cabin gets the kit.

I would prefer kids Xanax to give the kid whose parents park their little monster in the seat behind me and kicks the partition the entire flight. It happened twice this year. Put those kids back in coach.
Seriously though, I miss the Burt's Bees stuff. AA went completely cheap on that. It really isn't going to cost them that much more to put a decent brand in those kits. This gas station special stuff that's in those kits now is so cheap and bad it's not even worth using.

Coach or J/F, monsters are certainly not appreciated.

Exactly. The Burt's Bees lotion and lipbalm were the only parts of the kits I really liked (and I still have a dozen or so from past amenity kits squirreled away at home). I also wouldn't mind seeing socks that are made out of something more sturdy than medical gauze, an eye mask with a strap accommodating anything bigger than a croquet ball, and Hearos Xtreme earplugs (just a few cents more, but soooo much better than the cheapo yellow ones).

That microfiber cloth for cleaning glasses is my favorite thing in UA GlobalFirst kit, happy to see its coming to AA First
