What makes it one of the best? Some stinky stuff? They would not introduce it if there were no cost saving.

Finally an “enhancement” in the premium cabin!!
nothint was as bad as the tacky LUX ones they currently have. I remember the pouches they used to give out when they first started years ago were amazing quality.
They just need to reinstate the chauffeur driven services .....
fingers crossed for positive changes to come

Great news, looks like a real improvement for a change, but will they be changing their policy and giving them out on ALL business flights or sticking with the restrictions currently in place?

I will, as always, discard the kit unopened and unused.
If this is really costing them more money, I would prefer that they spend it on food, which is increasingly inedible. But of course they are probably getting the kits for free in exchange for the advertising.

The contents are very good, why would you discard them? The catering is terrible ultra longhaul (JFK), but has surprisingly improved Midhaul (MAA) and Longhaul (LHR).

Shocking attitude, what a waste! If you don't want it then hand it back to the cabin crew unopened for re-use, saving the airline money and the planet into the bargain!
Not sure how often or which routes you fly but recently J food has improved with more variety and better choices from MAN. The menu has changed 3 times in the last few months with delicious new items available both on DoD and A la carte, and according to my next flight in Sept menu has changed again. Still a few familiar dishes - Steak Sandwich and Mezze but plenty of new things to try.
It's good to see EY showing what menus are available online now, at least you have an idea of what to expect - shame they don't give it as an option on all flights via IFE. I've seen it as an option on the newer aircraft IFE screens - it wasn't operational though!
Admittedly options in the back of the bus are more limited to the usual roast chicken & veg, a lamb & rice dish and the good old pasta and vegetable/cream sauce, however they are usually tasty- if not that hunger satisfying.

That is a nice partnership. Looks like full size for FC, and sample size cologne for Biz. Nothing wrong with that, especially assuming it's Colonia.
I'm a fan of AdP, so instead of discarding them, I'll pay postage and a handling fee to have a few end up my way
