United Airlines Introduces New Custom Amenity Kits from Away

Travelers flying in premium cabins on United’s long-haul international and transcontinental routes will be the first to experience the airline’s new, co-branded amenity kits, designed exclusively for the airline by global travel lifestyle brand Away. United will offer three versions of the amenity kits, each with custom travel essentials and Sunday Riley’s United-exclusive range of clean, cruelty-free skincare products, inspired by Away’s iconic suitcases and versatile accessories. This is the first time Away, the global travel lifestyle brand, has collaborated with a commercial airline.

“As travel demand continues to rise to unprecedented levels, travelers are seeking comfort and quality now more than ever when they fly—that’s why we chose to partner with Away,” said Luc Bondar, vice president of marketing and loyalty and president of MileagePlus at United. “Away’s mutual commitment to making travel more seamless, elevated and modern design aesthetic is in perfect harmony with United’s brand, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to be the only airline to provide this unique offering to our customers.”

The Away amenity kits available include:

• Hard Pod: For United Polaris® business class passengers on long-haul international flights. The sturdy shell and interior elastic band will aid in the organization of belongings.
• Sports Pouch: For United Premium Plus® passengers flying on long-haul international flights. With a soft, protective material, you can organize all of your belongings, including your other travel essentials.
• Zip Case: For United Business Class passengers flying on premium transcontinental flights. The water-resistant kit for transcontinental premium travelers is an excellent solution for storing liquids while passing through airport security lines.

Aside from co-branded essentials like earbuds, an eye mask, and a dental kit, the Away amenity kits will include Sunday Riley’s In-Flight Remedy skin-care products. Sunday Riley created the In-Flight Remedy line to provide high-end skincare products to United passengers. They were designed with long-haul flight hydration in mind. Sunday Riley products, ranging from face creams and cleansing cloths to hand creams and lip balms, are included in each amenity kit.

If the mini suitcase appeals to you, you can purchase one from Away. They are not cheap, but they frequently appear in their regular sales.
