New British Airways amenity kits rolling out in Business Class

Very quietly, with no fanfare whatsoever, British Airways has decided to roll out a new Club World amenity kit.

The new bag is evolution rather than revolution, and continues to be made in partnership with The White Company and features The White Company toiletries.

The kits are a new rectangular shape and come in white faux leather. If they look familiar, that’s because they’re virtually identical to the BA100 kits that BA offered for a short time as part of its centenary celebrations in 2019.

BA tells us that the new kits are available on “selected” North American routes and will be rolled out more widely over the coming months.

The contents are largely identical but with a few tweaks. The pen has gone, whilst the plastic toothbrush has been replaced by a bamboo one. The earplugs come wrapped in paper rather than plastic. The other items are the same including toiletries, an eye mask and socks.

The pen is not a huge loss. Most countries, including the USA, have now ditched customs declarations or moved digital, so there is little use for a cheap ballpoint pen. The bamboo toothbrush and paper wrapping clearly burnish BA’s sustainability credentials.
