I like the look of the new bag; it's nice to have something similar to those blue zipped-bags from a couple of years back. It's a nice improvement over the current product, but those 'shoe bags' are useful when packing!
Flying SEA-LHR-MAD for Christmas, so we'll miss out on the coming enhancements unless pleasantly surprised

she preferred it to the last one. I’ll try and get a hold of it. The BA First eye mask is my favourite, so will see how this compares.

Looking at the new kits, the bags look lush but the contents dull with the colours used and there is no facial wipe
It would be interesting to know what will happen to the airport spas as a result of this change onboard.

I think Head for Points quoted Summer 2018 as when they hope to have the roll out complete - I don't know how or why it will take that long. I was hoping to have it in time for JNB flights in late December, but that looks decidedly optimistic.

I don't think that is going to happen, but of course you could send in feedback to BA saying you really like the look of it and would love it to be rolled out faster. If there is a lot of feedback along these lines then this will strengthen the hand of those trying to implement it.

The bedding and new wash bags plus breakfast cards will be rolled out with 3 new routes per month, I haven’t heard which routes or when but hopefully this will start in December.
