Cathay Pacific
Cathay Pacific’s First Class offers a seamless blend of tranquility and sophistication for discerning travelers. The airline’s partnership with Bamford, the acclaimed British organic lifestyle brand, ensures that each amenity kit is a testament to both wellness and environmental consciousness.

Oman Air
Oman Air, the Sultanate’s national airline, is a rising star in the world of luxury aviation, renowned for its attention to comfort and detail. The airline has recently upgraded its amenity offerings, now providing guests with quilted duvets, silk-trimmed pillows, and pure cotton pajamas and slippers for restful long-haul travel.

A vanity set is included for women, and a shaving kit for men.
Amouage, established in 1983, is famous for its unique blend of Eastern and Western olfactory traditions. While their fragrances are typically bold, Oman Air’s inflight versions are delicately refined for a soothing cabin environment. Guests are also offered hot or cold towels throughout the flight, further enhancing the sense of hospitality and care that defines Oman Air’s First Class service.
Lufthansa
Lufthansa continues to deliver impeccable First Class service on select routes with its Boeing 747, Airbus A340, A380, and the new Airbus A350 fleet. Prior to takeoff, guests receive a set of Van Laack pajamas—sometimes as a limited edition—presented in a practical shoe bag. The pajamas blend 60% cotton with 40% polyester, offering comfort, though some may prefer a higher cotton content. Thick slippers and a premium amenity kit complete the welcome ritual.
Lufthansa’s amenity kits have a legacy of collectability, especially the iconic Rimowa editions, though these are now replaced by rotating collaborations with brands like Sinn, Porsche Design, and Jil Sander. The current kits feature science-driven skincare from Augustinus Bader, as well as essentials like an eye mask, socks, lip balm, and hairbrush. Spacious lavatories are equipped with cushioned benches, mouthwash, razors, dental kits, and Augustinus Bader products.
