New amenity kits or different depending on route?
I have just done 4 sectors on QR
CPT-DOH-LHR / JFK-DOH-CPT
On the CPT-DOH and DOH-CPT legs it was the "old" amenity kit, with the Ferragamo products, the smaller cloth bag with the cloth eye shades, socks, ear plugs and comb.
On the DOH-LHR and JFK-DOH we got Armani amenity kits with just a small bottle of EDT and a large size after shave balm!! Then there was a smaller, very flimsy poor quality smaller bag, with much lower quality eye-shades, sock (also poorer quality in my opinion), ear plugs and no comb.
In November 2014 I had the same thing - the original kits out of South Africa and a Dior kit DOH-JFK and the Armani kit IAD-DOH.
So, are the "new" kits here to stay and they are just using up all the old kits on the lesser routes or is there a two tier kit policy depending on route? I must say the new one is really not nearly as nice as the old (in my opinion).

I have been receiving the new Armani ones on BRU, KUL, and IAH. I much prefer this new option, the bag itself is of higher quality than the flimsy Ferragamo zips.
However, they did remove that second smaller cotton pouch and comfy eyeshades that I like. Perhaps the cost of those went into the bigger tube of Armani aftershave

Also, the Ferragamo lipbalm was horrible IMO, Handcream so so.. I'd rather have a huge tube of aftershave ^
Also: PEK-DOH got them too.
