However, and I totally appreciate why one would like to have free PJs given on board because everyone likes a freebie, if it is such an important part of the travelling experience, why would you bring your own? Is it not unlike passengers bringing their own noise-cancelling headsets instead of the airline-issued one?

Wouldn't the money spent on giving out frankly disposable (to the airline) pyjamas be better spent on things like investing in new hard product or catering? After all if the pyjamas cost 5 USD, that would be a significant uplift on the catering budget...!

As to the amenity kit, I agree a cosmetic refresh should be in order every so often, if only for the marketing.
PJ is a nice to have for me, but not a big deal. Better seats, food and updated amenity kit would be nice.

Some of EK's FAs have commented when I take out my LH's World Cup amenity kit, that it's very nice and unique.
