Lufthansa Unveils Premium Economy Amenity Kits And Introduces New First Class Kit….
Lufthansa finally went public with new enhancements to their amenity kits after first unveiling them internally a few months ago in Frankfurt. I had been asked to not talk about them until they were ready for introduction, and that time has arrived.
First off, LH has introduced an amenity kit specifically for Premium Economy passengers. The kit is basically a durable plastic shopping bag that can be used for a variety of purposes after a flight. Lufthansa felt the kit needed to be something that can be used by passengers even after their travel to make it that much more effective.
The uniqueness of this kit is that the bags will be a collection of 5 unique designs each focusing on a Lufthansa destination. For the first batch of collectable bags, Paris, Berlin, New York, Frankfurt, and San Francisco are featured. Each of these bags will carry a unique symbol of the city such as the Statue of Liberty for NY, the Golden Gate Bridge for ‘SFO’, etc.
The plan for the Premium Eco kit is to introduce additional designs with more cities when future kits are released. LH hopes this also creates interaction among passengers who might want to trade with each other as they collect the various bags.
Look for the bags to be on board by July.

The First Class kit also gets a serious upgrade. The new kits are provided by ‘Windsor’ and feature an attractive Leather case which can be used for other purposes once it is no longer used as an amenity kit.
The lady’s case is designed to be carried as purse thanks to the leather shoulder strap that comes with it. The men’s kit does not come with the strap but can serve nicely as a shaving kit case or to hold cables and charges.
The initial kit colors are a light creme for the female kit and a dark brown for the men and will be given to passengers during the summer. In the fall and winter the kits will get a color revamp and as far as my understanding goes, the female kit will be brown, while the men’s kit will be a dark green.
Here is a look at the Ladies kit coming for the fall/winter season:

The new First Class kits are available now on most LH long haul flights.
