The “TravelPlus Airline Amenity Bag Awards” are designed to recognise those airlines which go the extra mile with their on-board kits and will this year include additional categories to give credit to suppliers too.
The dictionary definition of ‘amenity’ is…“a•men•i•t•y… a useful, attractive or enjoyable feature; anything that adds to a person’s comfort and convenience. …” This is just what our industry is all about, so put yourself forward
– this is your time to shine!
This year we introduced two new award categories in order to seek out the best and most innovative supplier. It’s not just about the final amenity kit but also about those behind the scenes who make it happen, or who are working to redefine and innovate what is on offer.
