eva amenity kits

Anyone know if EVA still hands out the fancy rimowa amenity kits on shorter 77W flights, e.g. between TPE and SGN?

Still? I don't think they ever did.

I would be surprised if Eva ever offered a rimowa kit on a 3 hr regional flight.

I just meant 'still' in comparison with the long haul flights, I don't have any knowledge that they ever offered them. Thanks though. Do they not hand out amenity kits at all on these shorter flights?

The word would be "ALSO", not "STILL"

No, they don't hand out amenity kits on short flights.

Long haul C pax (and sometimes Elite, but this might be a status issue).

Just some toilitrees. The comb, eye blinders and toothbrush/paste are all I care about, but they have lotions/perfumes and such that some might like. I think they have socks.

Thanks.

It sounds nice but I don't see why it's so sought after.

It's sought after because only a handful of airlines give out Rimowa amenity kit (LH, TG, NH, BR).

Also because it's made by Rimowa.

No airlines hand out amenity kits for short flights except TG, but even with TG, you still have to fly a minimum distance of 6 hours like Japan-BKK or PEK-BKK !

DL do have amenity kits also for NRT-SIN/BKK.

You technically pay thousands for a ticket so you can sell your freebie for $50 on ebay?
