That's the one. (Don't fly J so I had never seen it before.) FA said it was now being used in all F, and I should write to complain. Maybe though they were just out of Rimowa on my flight. Personally I like it better than the Rimowa (have about 3 dozen in my closet). Perfect size and has pockets for chargers, cords, adapters, etc.

I have never seen an airline amenity kit I liked for toilet articles.

I also received the Porsche design kit on my flight 26.7. It doesn't feel as premium as the Rimowa, and if it's actually an J-amenity-kit I think thats really lame of Thai (I know, I know, shouldn't expect more from Thai)

those Porsche kits are given in J flights (even for flights between 3-5 hours) for quite some time!

So another reduction of service in F! what will they cancel next? the Dom, the Caviar, the Pyjamas? anyone dare to bet?

I really hope the won`t touch any of those, but who knows considering that TG is to become a "super premium" carrier in the future

I flew on 2 segments over the past week or so:

TG921 F FRA-BKK - got light blue Rimowa kit

TG 930 F BKK-CDG - got purple Porsche kit

Was hoping for Rimowa both ways, but the Porsche kit would look great for chargers, cables, etc.

Meanwhile, guess I'll have to keep the Rimowa instead of putting it on ebay.

Received the purple PD kit on my C flight to Bali.

PD case a nice item but not the same as the Rimowa. Very useful though.

I also wonder, but there are many Rimowa Kits on eBay for 100-200 USD with 30-50 USD currently as bid

so from the few examples people have posted...

from BKK gets you a PD kit, else, you get a Rimowa kit?? I'm doing CDG-BKK-DPS in F/J next month, It'd be great if I get both
