Cathay Pacific canvassing opinion on new Amenity Kits
After the "controversial" introduction of the current amenity kits, Cathay is now canvassing opinion about some new options.

So CX finally decides to get rid off those rice sacks. :D
I hope CX doesn't go with design P ... it looks like high class Y+ bag (though probably cheapest to produce of all the choices above). Design R and S are ok. Anyone knows the timing? Article didn't mention it. |
I actually liked the look and quality of the material of the existing kit. However, practically it is useless.
|
The key point for me is that they must be easily useable for keeping my smartphone cables, earpieces etc., so R and S both seem OK from what I see. Anything is better than the current style anyway.

Design R looks very similar to one I have at home... from Jetstar a few years ago.
I'm not sure why they even bother. Simply go to a brand name designer, and ask them to make something worthy of their brand name. Problem solved. |
Which self-respecting little three will want to be seen with "merely" a CX-branded amenity kit http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...l#post25263999

I wish they had a hard sided case like the Lufthansa Rimowa FC kits. |

Article didn't mention it. And in general, I think the old amenity kits looked really tacky...I just think fliers are used to a rectangular shaped, cheesy, semi-plastic look. But for those who think the "old" ones ever looked good, I think that's crazy! Occasionally we've had decent-looking ones in F (the female version back in 2009-2010 with the flowers, beads and sequins or whatever on were particularly cool), but I can't recall ever being impressed by the J ones. I had a look into a pantry at home the other evening, and saw an old puke-colored green rectangular J class amenity kit...can't say it was looking too attractive! My thoughts...this is business class. It's not supposed to be fancy so much as practical. I thought these new ones were the most practical of the lot! A few months ago I literally collected 10 of them, got a few more in July and August so far, and they are the most practical by a wide margin for me. Alas, it seems I'm very much in the minority here!

I personally dislike stuff that may fall off like external pockets or bags without zipper... So it limits the choices |
I am all for ditching the current F amenity kits and replacing them with Rimowa ones. Just dreaming....
|
Need a zipper bag so I can re-use it. Wish they can come up with more innovative stuff like the Rimowa suitcase bag another airline is giving.

I think with a better color combination design P with the magnetic flip would be great
Q is also good R and S... Not appealing though maybe practical... |
I like R with a color scheme like that of S.
|
I can see the Mainland Chinese selecting the Design R and S as their preferred choice as these guys love big bag to stash those hard cold cash. Oops, did anyone say they don't have anymore money after the China stock market crash? Perhaps Desgin Q for them now.
