I can confirm 10:20pm JFK-MXP in F has amenity kits, pajamas and normal long haul service. Not sure about J but I would guess you get a kit.

I flew MXP-JFK in J this time last year. No amenity kit.

It's a daytime flight which is why they might not be pro-actively handed out, you can definitely ask and should get an amenity kit, not sure about PJs

Theres normally amenity kits stored in the lockers which separates the two business class compartments (behind row 21). Easier enough to help yourself when nobody is looking!

Thank you my kind friend. I shall bag a few (hundred) Bvlgari Amenity kits purely for the kit itself and the body lotion/aftershave/cologne when I fly DXB-LHR later this year

I was surprised that yesterday I was given the carry bag with pyjamas and slippers on EK15, DXB/LGW which departs 7:40 and arrives 11:40. Clearly a daytime flight and not a very long one at that. But no amenity kit, which I bought would have been more useful (for the aftershave, since I shaved and showered).

Now I wonder what will happen on the reverse flight EK16 in three weeks time. This one arrives DXB around midnight. Anyone know what to expect?

​​​​​​They declined to hand you an amenity kit when you asked?

No, I know I should have asked and I am sure I would have been given one. But I did not... Stupid.
Strange though that we were given the pyjamas (and the carry bag which was nice as I always struggle to get all the handouts into my carryon bag) but no amenity kit.
I had a kit from the previous flight in my hand luggage and I used that one instead.

If you book the shower spa, they should normally give you an amenity kit. On a recent (day-time) flight, I was proactively given the beach bag with my slippers in before TO. When I later headed to the shower spa with my bag (and some of my own stuff in it), the FA came rushing after me with an amenity bag and apologised for not having put it in the bag earlier. When I asked for PJs, she said that she'd check - and then left them in my suite for me.
