You’re not missing out on much. It’s basically a bag that held a bunch of items. When emptied, the bag becomes an ugly beanie. You deserve whatever you have coming to you when wearing that thing in public.

LoL. Sounds like someone getting it for wearing a maga hat. That said, I'll be flying LX J and don't look forward to the junk that LX hands out. Victornox. The way it works is the Victornox pays LX to put their name on the bag, so LX saves a ton of money. LX has really gone downhill over the past 20 years I've flown them. Less and less Swissy about their product anymore. Thank LH.

Just take the kit and donate it to good will. Definitely more useful than an extra pair of Tom's shoes.

If I am not mistaken, those hats were handed over only in winter. During the same period, LX had the content of the amenity kits contained into bags of different sizes that could be re-used. The idea was good, though I never wore the hat, nor re-used the bags.

The Victorinox kits are okay to me and similar to the kind of containers that LH now distributes.

Well, I flew LAX-ZRH in LX business on a UA award ticket a couple of evenings ago and the little Victorinox box was a bit underwhelming. The red socks feel really cheap and slick. I appreciated the pen, the sleep mask is pretty good, at least it's not red. I didn't use the lip balm or earplugs. I'm using the box for odds & ends on my current 36-day trip, then plan to give it to my granddaughter to use for pens, pencils, and crayons.
