Well, this should be a short discussion, but then again...this IS Flyertalk!
On international F and J, pax are given an amenities kit. When deplaning, I usually leave mine, sometimes even unopened.
Are these 'fair game' for other passengers as they are leaving the plane? When I leave mine at my seat and exit the airplane- effectively abandoning this- is it acceptable for someone else to pick one up as a souvenir?
The thread on First Class blankets got me thinking... blankets they reuse, and are given to you for use on the plane.... but these kits are expressly gifted to you to keep.
Oddly, I expect these usually get thrown out..... I expect that some FAs if asked "can I grab this as a souvenir for my kid?" would say "sure". But still, just sitting on the seat they aren't explicitly offered with a "free" sign...
So, thoughts?
PS There was that one time where I packed up the duvet and pillow from F.....had to leave a T shirt and pants behind, but it was worth it.
