Just boarded SFO-AKL and not only are there no Spiderman kits, we're back to the old Saks/Cowshed clamshell kits.
But at least the socks fit, so I'm happy!

Finally got to see the video yesterday. I didn't think it was over-the-top or unnecessarily juvenile. It was playful and fun, on line with some of ANZ's best Middle-earth safety vids. Keep in mind, the typical FTer (who can probably recite the safety brief along with the FAs) is not the demographic those videos are shooting for. People who have "grown up" out of comic books and cartoons apparently never grew up out of being whiny grumps. For you, I suggest
. 
Honestly, I was really tired of the old video, particularly when the FA accidentally (?) tears the green screen behind her and breaks out giggling. Over the years, I've gone from "oh, that's cute" to "okay, was that spontaneous or did they plan it?" to "just shut up already".

Ditto here on SFO-LHR! Sunday Riley must be loving the launch execution ... a mix of Sunday Riley and Cowshed products in the lavs.

If the tin can supplies were as high as it appears, I'm surprised we saw the zippered pouched ones at all.

Like we aren’t already inundated every where these days with advertisements. UA, not content with all the money from fees and such, now needs to subject a captive audience to more money grubbing promos for a non-aviation product with tacky napkins, kits, videos and all in order to further boost the bottom line at the expense of its customers. Enough already with this garbage.

My last tin can was September 2018, then receive the oval zipper kit between Oct 2018 and April 2019.
On my four flights in May, I received the newest square ones.....then it went back to the tins yesterday!!!
