LOL! Oh, I agree...but why not enjoy the little things, too? Quite frankly, I am not really looking forward to the seats on our AF flight. They are the upstairs J class on an A380-800...have not flown on them. (I think the aircraft to Tahiti was a different one, and I remember that the seats were not lie flat..but the food and the fact that it was French was amazing for airplane food.) I actually prefer Delta One seats..much better from my experience.

I am not sure why people are going nuts over amenity kits? People are looking forward to getting one, seriously? I have so many of these from different airlines and I am not sure what to do with these? Also, have you guys seen the Emirates kits which have been doled out over past few years? These kits from American and European carriers are a joke in comparison. Now a days I just give these to my relatives when I go to visit them.

I still have the ones we used to get filled with Givenchy goodies, only 2 or 3 years ago I think, then they started being filled with those small tubs of Biologique Recherche, and now even less. But I agree about the pen :^

My first P flight was mid December 2016. It was Biologique Recherche then. I haven't noticed the shrinkage because I only dip in for the pen. The rest goes to my partner when I get home.

I like the new grey pen less. I liked the black one, smoother surface. I usually leave the amenity kits on the plane (but sometimes take the little tubes of Clarins and always took the black pens that they had until a few weeks ago, really good. Good to write, and no regrets if I lose it)
