Wonder when these will actually be on flights? These aren't the same as the "new" kits shown recently in the main thread on the PJ/Amenity kits tracking thread. Will be flying mid-January so would appreciate anything other than the old Armani kits.

I like having a mini aftershave included in the kit, but I absolutely detest Acqua di Gio so I'm glad to see that go. I will need to be convinced by an olive oil-based hydrating facial mist.

Ooh, I like the burgundy!
I will miss the S perfume - although I do have a small collection of the miniatures amassed now, so should last me a good while before I run out

Pictures of all four amenity kits can be seen in a press release at http://www.qatarairways.com/english_...e_amenity_kits.
ABB also seems to suggest that they will be introduced "... in early 2017, we will introduce an historic and revolutionary Business Class experience that no other airline can offer, and our premium amenity kit redesign featuring some of the worlds leading luxury products is a preview to our refreshed approach. (my bold).
So we are not really any the wiser as to when they will appear on flights.

If I had to guess, I would say it will feature as part of the new J product being launched in Berlin in March 2017.

I prefer the Armani kits. Can't beat the cologne.

I find the products more useful, albeit perhaps not as luxurious. However, a packet of tissues, deodorant can, and shave cream can, save me bringing my own.
As for the 'luxury items', I think they're much of a muchness. Would I ever go and buy the Bulgari products provided to me by EK, no. Would I ever go and buy the Armani items provided by QR, likewise no...but they make good backups when I run out of aftershave balm!
