Travelers in select markets will begin to see the new kits this week with the rollout continuing in the coming weeks. American is providing larger-sized cosmetic products, including Burt’s Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion, Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, Colgate toothpaste, a toothbrush with a re-sealable cap, thicker plush socks, and larger eyeshades.

“We consistently seek to align our product and service offerings with what our customers value so that we can provide a better overall travel experience,” said Lauri Curtis, Vice President – Onboard Service. “The redesigned amenity kit, thanks to input from our customers and flight attendants, includes premium products our customers value, like Burt’s Bees, which more closely meet their needs.”

The contents are tucked into a traditional zipper-style case for easy storage in a carry-on bag. American, a founding member of the oneworld(R) Alliance, will provide a different case color – red, blue, gray, and black – every three months. The redesigned kits will replace the current amenity kit, which American’s customers have enjoyed since June 2007.
