Retro Amenity Kits

American Airlines' Amenities Are Branded to Show Off Heritage Airlines

In order to show off how air travel is rapidly changing, American Airlines is now giving out nostalgic amenity kits to passengers who are flying in first and business class. The limited edition kits feature the colors and logos of airlines like AirCal, America West, Reno Air and US Airways, representing the consolidation of airlines over the last decade or so.

In addition to being coveted for their novelty designs, the kits are full of eco-friendly products from Red Flower that travelers will definitely want to get their hands on. The kits include socks, eye masks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, earplugs, pens, tissues, lip balms and wipes. You'll even find headphone covers for the Bose QuietComfort Acoustic Noise Cancelling devices that are provided in-flight.
