Stuff for flying

I don’t know about you, but I always collect stuff when I fly.

Does anyone know all the stuff that you get for flying transatlantic with Virgin? In my stash of airplane goodies I have a sleep mask that says “Dream,” a toothbrush, tooth paste, playing cards, and socks that are striped. Plus some awful Virgin cola that I saved for camp value.

My favorite things though are different playing cards from such airlines as Pan Am, Eastern, National, and Icelandair. It’s interesting to see what they will give you.

Next on my list, a Continental glass, it’s just a matter of the right timing.

The stuff I got on my HKG-SYD business class flight on Qantas was nicer than the Virgin stuff, but I was a bit surprised that it wasn't even nicer. Paying 10x as much just doesn't get you what it used to.

OTOH, the salmon was quite nice, as was the wine.

I always take the Business or First class amenity kits with me.

I've got a collection of menus, too. [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
