Another 'enhancement' to Polaris, it would seem. I don't see how you fit all of the current amenities into a smaller container too comfortably. If they gave everyone the GF version of the current kit, I would be a fan.

I am not a fan of the thick square box amenity kit. I think it is wasteful and not environmental friendly. The contents should be easily squeezed into the a soft pouch (similar to pre Polaris era kit). I have been leaving the current kit behind.
The soft pouch could be more useful.

What is the current version of amenity kit in GF? The one I have is the gold color slightly bigger version of the blue kits given out in Polaris Business.

Interesting... I flew a few weeks ago in 747 UD (so Business, duh!) outbound, in GF on the return. Same Polaris amenity kit in both directions.
