How big is the bottle? Will TSA allow us to take these valuable additions home, or will they confiscate them because they exceed 3 oz when we take a connecting flight after clearing customs?

On 135 in J Thursday. Will be interested to see what I get - I have way too many of the old ones!

That is good news! It's been over a year since I flew MIA-LAX and good to hear service has been upgraded on this route. I usually try to fly on the 772 or 763 on this route if I can and avoid the 737. However if all the flights including 737 get pillows and amenity kits, then I may reconsider my flight schedule.

I just received this email from AA:
Hello Andrew,
AAdvantage Number: [xxxxxxx]
In December 2014, we shared how we're investing over $2 billion to improve your productivity, convenience and comfort in the skies. Now, we're continuing on our journey of going for great and bringing you more throughout the year to deliver a top‑notch travel experience. Look out for these enhancements coming your way:
A fresh start
On international flights
In First Class: We're introducing a new amenity kit that includes all of the items you already love plus, by popular demand, we're adding Scope mouthwash for a breath of fresh air. But we're not stopping there. If you're planning to catch some zzz's, we've added new pajamas and non‑skid 100% cotton terry slippers. So curl up, get comfortable and settle in for the long haul.I can't believe AA didn't stop right there with the addition of Scope. With that alone I would have thrown all of my international F business to AA. But they're also tossing in the skid-free slippers! 100% cotton!
Seriously, who writes this stuff?

Maybe the email was targeted to passengers with a history of bad breath. Or, maybe they are buying marketing lists from dentists.

I'm about a 9.5, but even for me they're too tight to properly wear with socks. I just force them on. I've read that some on here tear the slightly, so they fit.

Oh look, no new enhancements for us "peasants" in the back of the bus, except for maybe adding some more seats.
