Not standard
The PJs flights are documented in the wiki of http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...s-lounges.html
No UA European flight meets the pj guideline of 24 hour round triptime.
However, it is worth asking as there may be some on the aircraft but there may not.

Looks like there is a new amenity kit in rotation now - just got a generic Polaris-branded tin on LAX-SIN. Maybe I’ll keep one for the ‘new’ factor, but UA’s runs tend to be pretty cheaply-made.
The eye mask in the kit is new as well - matches the launch version (Black with Polaris branding), but more cheaply-made. Gotta cut those costs somewhere...

SFO-ICN last week the kit came in a tin that looks like the 747 tins without the 747 memorabilia. I pulled out what I wanted and left the rest to be recycled. Sorry about that.

May 5, IAD-FRA, black and white football-like bag in J.
May 12, FRA-IAD, same as above.
The shape is just a bit too odd for me to be able to use them for other items. They were just not flat enough.

UA should go back to offering this amenity bag (see pic below). I got it back in 2012/13 when I flew DXB-IAD in F. This bag, while far from fancy, has been the most practical amenity bag I have ever received, from any airline. Six years later, I still use it!

Got two more tins this week. I must say the quality of the tin box is lower than the 747 tin. It is easily dented when I put into my backpack.
On one hand, UA is promoting itself as an eco-friendly airlines, but it is using the less eco-friendly material for its kit.
