I got the new tubes back in January for SYD-LAX. Presumed it was in response to liquid ban.

Still annoying that having stuffed the amenity kit in my hand luggage I have to remember to pull out the toothpaste to go through security for domestic connections. :rolleyes:

On LAX-LHR today I got the enhanced micro Colgate toothpaste tube. Was looking forward to the bigger sized Rembrand...

SQ does the same, but their toothpaste/toothbrush combo is in a slim plastic tube which is sealed.

I have always assumed that all the little goodies in the kit were provided to UA free to promote the brands. That is why, I have assumed, the brands keep changing. Presumably if the promotion doesn't result in enhanced sales the freebies stop. Does anyone know whether this is correct?

I'll be sure to check that out on Sunday when I take my first SQ flight!^

Nice to hear about new color bags and bigger toothpaste tubes. Now I can expand my collection!:D ^
The mix color of amenity kit had actually been around for more than 6 months, but kind of curious how many color does it really have ?

The small tubes have this. The big ones don't. However, the caps are interchangable. :cool:

The big ones have a small tab on the seal that lifts up and pulls the whole thing off. It's on the center of the seal, not off to one side. I confess that after jetleg, sleep deprivation, and a couple glasses of wine, it's not the easiest to get off. My new routine is to remove it at my seat, where I can use the reading light to see what I am doing.

I agree. The little tab in the middle is nearly impossible to grab without longer finger nails or tools.

LAX-LHR March 9 was the new, large Rembrandt. You must have been unlucky...

Actually the new big tubes do not have a pointy thing in the cap. I brought the toothpaste to the FA because I couldn't get the seal open and she poked a hole in the top with one of those drink stirrer straws.

In dozens of domestic re-entries since last summer where I never even opened the amenity kits from my international flights (plus several thru LHR flight connections) & just stuffed the kit in my hand luggage, I have never once had even the slightest problem with this. Don't sweat it.

Oh the irony. They give you something you're not allowed to bring on board. At LHR especially.
