At least 10-12 of the passengers from economy visited the 'kingfisher first' section and helped themselves to the amenity kits/headphones etc.(the headsets were of a premium make AFAIK). the crew were overwhelmed and possibly inexperienced as well and did'nt say a word. I was not surprised that they stopped flying that route in less than a year.
they used to use BOSE headphones & the amenity kit was a Salvatore Ferragamo (not sure what they do now, i flew the BOM LHR route 2 yrs ago) - so very expensive stuff - probably recovered a good chunk of the 280 spent.... surprised the 'visitors' didnt help themselves to bottles of Dom
