Emirates' amenity kits bag top honours

In its November issue, the magazine scored Emirates' kits tops in several premium class categories including: "Best Overall Amenity Kit" for both First and Business Class; "Women's Fragrance" - both First and Business Class; "Spa Products" - First Class; and "Shaving Supplies" - Business Class.

Having tested amenity kits from top carriers around the globe, the publication heaped praise on the airline's offerings, noting: "Emirates' first-class "vanity tray" was the clear winner. The overall presentation won high marks - one tester even noted the tray complemented Emirates' First Class suite."

The article went on to say: "...the clear winner in first class is Emirates Airline's men's kit. It contains virtually everything you need packed in a very functional, black leather, soft-sided, zipper case."

Terry Daly, Emirates' Senior Vice President Service Delivery said: "Our guests in the premium classes are guaranteed a luxurious and pampered inflight experience.

"We package high-end cosmetics and luxury items in our amenity kits such as Clarins lotions that hydrate the skin, Bvlgari refresher towels, Roger & Gallet colognes and Gillette shaving products. The product ranges we include are a result of our research into our customers' preferences and have been included to refresh and lend a sense of comfort to our passengers during and after the flight."

Adding to its impressive trophy collection, Emirates has won numerous awards throughout the year across a wide spectrum of its services, such as Best Airline - Silver Award (Skytrax Airline of the Year Awards 2004); Airline with the Best Cabin Staff and Best Airline Frequent Flyer (Business Traveller ME Awards).
