United Rolls Out Wrexham AFC Amenity Kits
Joe Cortez May 22, 2024
Starting June 1, 2024, the airline will roll out limited-edition Wrexham AFC themed amenity kits in both premium cabins.
Polaris Amenity Kit Includes Themed Pajamas for Longest Flights
Since 2023, United has been the front-of-kit sponsor for the Welsh soccer club, with their logo displayed on the front of players shirts. With their latest collaboration, the Chicago-based airline is taking their sponsorship into the cabin.
Flyers in the premium cabins will now get a selection of amenity kits during their travels emblazoned with the team logo and colors. Flyers in premium economy will get an amenity pouch, while Polaris flyers will receive an amenity case.
In Polaris, travelers will receive a toiletry case in red, black, or white. The case features a top handle and a loop on the back to hang on a hook for convenience. For those flying over 14 hours with the airline, Polaris flyers will also receive a set of Wrexham-themed pajamas, featuring a top that looks like the team’s jerseys, and gray pants featuring the United logo.
In premium economy, flyers will receive a reusable pouch that is slim enough to fit in a carry-on bag. Both amenity kits will feature United-exclusive Therabody hand cream, lip balm, and cleansing towelette. Other essentials include an eco-friendly bamboo toothbrush, toothpaste, eye mask, ear plugs, and socks. The Polaris kits also feature Therabody eye serum, face spray, tissues, and a United pen.
The limited-edition amenity kits are part of a broad expansion of their sponsorship with the club, now playing in Britain’s League One. The airline will also sponsor the team’s North American summer tour, flying the team across the United States while giving MileagePlus members exclusive offerings related to their stops.

If United really want to support Wrexham then maybe they should resume flights to/from Manchester. Less than an hour away by car unlike 4 hours to LHR if you're lucky.
Really good idea and I wonder if it's competitors from the United Kingdom will do the same. On EWR-LHR UA is possibly equal or better than it's competitors based in the United Kingdom which also operate the route
I'm a United Gold and a long time supporter of Tranmere Rovers FC, one of Wrexham's local rivals just across the England/Wales border. Not sure I'd be all that delighted to receive all these Wrexham/United themed "exclusive offerrings" if I was fortunate enough to find myself in Polaris for a 14 hour flight!!
England's League One.And a hard pass.
