We are nothing if not aficionados of bathroom amenities here at One Mile at a Time, be they hotel toiletries or premium class airline amenity kits. While at the end of the day whether your carrier's itty-bitty hand moisturizing cream is Ferragamo or Kiehl's or Lubriderm might not matter in the long run -- a…

My DeltaOne Tumi case from TATL flights this week from and to JFK has had inside it. They are soft sided gray with a light gray leather-ish area band across the top of the front side only but some kind of nylon-ish material everywhere else.
It's fantastic that coach passengers get amenity kits. It's illuminating that Delta distinguishes amenity kits between coach and Comfort+. But the amenity kit bags seem cheap and there's very little Le Labo stuff inside.
Kiehls Inside it.
The Tumi label on the cases were in metal and on the right side while the zipper pull was in metal too. The color of the top leatherish band on the front side was in the same gray color as the rest of the case despite being a different material type.
There don't seem to be any earplugs in these new kits. Huge bummer as that's typically the only thing I use from these kits... makes a big difference for me when trying to sleep.
My two soft side Tumi kits from DL One flights this week didn’t have ear plugs. I do like their mini-pens. I do appreciate the mini-bottles of hand sanitizer.
Just FYI Le Labo is no longer a small speciality cosmetic brand but is has been acquired by giant group Estée Lauder. Kiehl's was from another giant L'Oréal. I just wonder why Delta added so much complexity to their amenity kits which now have products supplied by different companies including the two big competitors in toothpaste with Crest from P&G on Delta One and Colgate for the others.
I have been a huge fan of Le Labo for years and swear by anything in the Santal 33 scent. But this seems a bit whatever...a lip balm and a hand cream? Hardy see this as a win for Le Labo or Delta in people really discovering the brand. It's the scents that are the true draw.
The Park Hyatt partnership though is a good one as it introduces the real strength of Le Labo products to many.
I would argue that not all products are the same. You cannot say that a cream is a cream in the long run. Try to use La Met or even Le Labo moisturizer and toner for a year, and compare the results with using Kielh’s or any middle-range brand out there. You’ll be impressed by the difference
If anyone has an unopened hard sided Tumi amenity kit that would like to donate or sell to me, I'd be forever grateful. I've never flown Delta but have been lusting over their hard sided Tumi for quite some time. Let me know I'd be forever grateful!!!
In November, I am flying BOS-CDG in Delta One and can't wait to get one of these new amenity kits.
@schar: Not sure how to contact you but I do have several of Delta's small hard case amenity kits. Too lazy to get up and look now but I do have them in at least 2 colors. A small incentive would be great, in addition to shipping charges to where you are... I'll check back here in a couple of weeks. Cheers
For those complaining about "no ear plugs"... Ask a FA and they'll exchange your Delta One kit with 2 Main Cabin kits. This way you'll have a set of wax-free ear plugs for the return flight as well Hahaaa
I love Delta One's bergamot scented moisturinzing lotion they have in the Delta One lavatories. I hope they never change it. And I have never bothered to check the label, if they do change it, now I know where to get it. Thanks for naming the source.
"Other than that, though, I’m looking forward to amassing a hoarder-like collection of Delta’s new kits starting later this month." - which is why the contents come in smaller sizes! hahah
I easily have about 30+ F and J amenity kits at home, and I am always giving them and new ones out to friends and family. They can make nice little gifts inbetween real purchased gifts. Sometimes if a hotel or car rental person is overly helpful I'll give one to them, they are always speechless and makes one pause for a moment to realize the overall "value" of such an item.
@OMAR s. absolutely! shoot me an email [email protected]!! thank you in advance, this is so exciting!! 🙂
I thought the lotion at the Fairmont Orchid was cedar scented. Maybe I'm wrong, but I know I liked it so much I bought a full size bottle.
Sent you an email several says ago.... But I suspect it may have ended up in the spam folder.
I may send you another one without any brand names (I mentioned Delta & Tumi in my last one)... May be that'll go through...
Next month I'll be on business flight for the first time with my (soon-to-be) wife on our honeymoon trip. She loves miniatures and has a collections of mini-perfume, she was very happy to get the hard cased tumi, but we are very disappointed with delta, this amenity kit is terrible in comparison to that mini tumi bag.
