The newest app update should show you the Star Wars livery.

To show the Dark Side, it's an Easter egg within the app.

Hint 1: Tap the plane picture
Hint 2: The number of taps corresponds to a specific number relevant to (presumed) opening prologue of the film.

(1) they did a nice job, and (2) can we just stick with this tail...put it on all planes and kill off the CO disco ball?

I've had the zipper get stuck on two of the last four Star Wars amenity kits I received ... couldn't even open them.

The FA tried and (on both) occasions, the top of the zipper (where the UA lanyard is attached) broke

These aren’t the amenity bags you’re looking for

True.

I'm sure these are on the internet somewhere, but I hadn't come across them yet.

Pictures of the Polaris kit:




and pictures of the former-p.s. kit:




Not sure if P+ gets same as former-p.s. I think it does?

No, P+ gets a black SW pouch like Polaris except smaller and flap-fold open/close (like an old fashioned sandwich bag) v zipper. Socks, lotion, lip balm, toothbrush and eye mask included.

Unfortunately, I found the P+ bag to be very hard to get anything out of! The opening is not big enough.

I opened mine. But now I can't close it. The fabric around the zipper is garbage quality.

And if it was too easy then things would slip out. A smaller pouch with zipper would be preferable (to distinguish from Polaris)

the socks are very reasonable quality though. The contents overall actually.

I love the socks. They are the same in J.
