According to an Esquire magazine article on condoms that I read years ago, titled (?) The Goods, Extra Large is the smallest size of condom made...

Seriously,

Can't say we've ever been offered one of these emergency kits. When Delta diverted our plane to JFK, and abandoned us there at midnight, we were offered zip. "Come back at 6am and we'll see if we can find a flight for you. There's the floor to sleep on."

We were never offered anything by Continental, either, when they stranded us at SFO. Fortunately, Mr. Marriott came through in both cases (with some expensive help from Mr. Hertz at JFK).

Russ, I have to hope that if your question is asked for anything other than idle curiousity, it doesn't mean Delta wants to have a "competitive" overnight kit, meaning that if the other majors don't include an item, Delta won't either, even if it's cheap and useful and makes pax happy. Nothing you can do about it, but your management folks have been doing too much of that lately! I DO assume you have good motives, if only curiousity. Hope you don't mind some speculative feedback:

Dental Floss would be a good addition to any overnight kit, emergency or amenity.

Tylenol or Aspirin is also a good idea, for the emergency kit - I'd prefer the aspirin.

On the assumption that most folks who get these kits are going to a hotel, instead of duplicating things like sewing kit, bandaids, and lotion, how about some talcum powder, and maybe some hairspray or setting gel (ladies version)?

Finally, how about a couple of airline bottles of brandy? Strictly for medicinal purposes, of course!
