Sign of Sickness - Collecting Amenity Kits
I have over 40 piled up. Two from "F" on NZ, two from "F" on LH, four from "F" on UA, and 40 from "C" on UA. Not even one has been opened. Is there soemthing wrong with me?
I even get agitated when I see others opening theirs.

You are not the only one...although i don't really collect anything from UA....I do, however, have probably more than 100 sets of Westin Heaven Bath products in my bathroom right now

I like to use mine, but if I don't, I give them to a charity shop - (op shop in OZ - don;t know what they are called or even if they have them in other places) - they are very popular there.

What's in the UAL C amenity kit these days? I fly almost exclusively domestic these days but have a couple of UA flights to Europe this spring. Not that I'm getting my hopes up too high....

That's exactly what I do (at least the contents) -- there's a woman in my office who takes care of that. I save the kits themselves to give to my 5-year old nephew -- he puts his small toys and school items in them.

- A H2O hydrating body butter. Sometimes I use it at home or office, which makes me smell like in a plane.
- One or 2 mint pills. Don't remember the quantity. The taste is good.
- A pair of ear plugs. I sometimes use it in my hotel room. There are tones of them in the labs in my office.
- A pair of socks. Never wear it. I wear sleepers, provided or brought by myself, for long haul flight.
- A small pack of facial tissue. Most usaful stuff.
- Some H2O product coupons. Junks.
Don't remember if there is other stuff since I stopped to open it for a while. However, I still collect it as many of you do. Give it to charity should be a good thing to do.
Corrected - no more bugs.
