Any clue when in March will we start seeing these? Would love to see how they turn out in person!

I'm not flying AA J until 3/6...will report back if I get one!

They were even passing those out in first class this week to ICN.

Don't they always give the F kit in F?

I think they are giving up on them. My last trip in F MIA-LHR I was only given a J kit. I complained and got 5000 miles as compensation.

However when I was on a recent DFW-HKG flight, I noticed again that they had J kits in the F cabin. I guess they are trying to run through their existing stock and hope no one notices...

Ohh!!! I see! I meant that I got an F kit in J on the previous TCON.

I'd imagine AA donated them and took a tax write off. The C. R. Smith Museum is a non-profit Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) entity. The Museum should gain all the cost as proceeds in that case.

Beat you to it. I'm in J on Flt 3, JFK-LAX. Kit is now a plastic wrapped pair of socks, earplugs and a sleep mask. No lotion, lip balm or hand/face wipe. Cheap socks, too - I can see through them. My stepmother will be disappointed - I've been collecting the others for her to keep her feet warm in the CT winter.

This is EXACTLY what I said in post 5! Now, I want an apology from everyone that slammed me.

Sidebar: Did you get a PDB? There was none to be had on here. The table clothes are actually napkins, and I'm wondering what else is downgraded.

According to Twitter, these are supposed to launch today. It would be very nice if they debuted on my severely delayed AA 137 flight to Hong Kong...

Thanks for the tip JDiver.

Anyway, attached is what the new TCON J amenity kit looks like. Essentially, a coupon for $75,- off a $250,- Cole Haan purchase is holding together socks, eyeshades and ear plugs. It's about as tacky as when AA pulled blankets and pillows from Y and tried to sell them for $8,-. If this is not a significant downgrade from the previous kit, then I don't know what is.

It does look pretty tacky—did they by any chance have lotions available in the lavs? That was a part of the old TCON J kit I actually find pretty useful...
