Good News! Pyjamas on (almost) all Qantas international flights in J!

[Chrizztofa]

For what it's worth, PJs were offered on QF72 (SIN-PER) last week.

Being realistic, Qantas pyjamas are pretty thin, and are not going to keep a homeless person warm. But where donated and washed PJs could be really useful is women's shelters (the ones where women flee domestic violence). Women who flee in a hurry may not have time to pack things like PJs. They would love to receive QF ones and QF would get plenty of brownie points ("10,000 pyjamas donated to women's shelters").

I just donated my personal stash of “worn once on a flight” PJs to a local women’s refuge and they were very pleased to receive them.

We did the same last year. Plus toiletries etc, Excellent use for them.

Don't expect to get PJ's or amenities on BNE-VLI "international"...

I love my QF PJs not too heavy/thick.

The normal QR ones are a bit thick and warm for me in QLD (except for the World cup version of which I managed to get two sets - short sleeve and lighter)

Yes they mentioned they were happy to take whatever was left unused of amenities kits eg lip balms, eye shades, hair brush etc. So I’m gathering those up as well to donate.

Small shampoo/ conditioner/ lotion bottles from hotels are always more than welcome.

Rarer than hens teeth these days. Most have switched to bulk dispensers.

True, but some hotels still offer bottles, e.g., Meriton Suites.

Yes. Haven’t seen any small ones in hotels in recent times.

Probably because they're a construction company and not a global hotel chain.

Collected near on a full suitcase of bathroom soaps, shampoos etc last year. Mostly Accor properties. I give them all to family members who do a bit of camping

That’s not supposed to happen.

Accor Hotels is the latest global hotel chain to eliminate travel-sized toiletries from its rooms.

I know but it does.
Last OS trip for memory all Accor properties had mini bottles. None have in Australia though

Those housekeeping trollies in the hallway can make an easy target.

Now that would be the ultimate having your own trolley at home

I used to take J or F amenity kits, hotel shampoos etc to the local women's shelter in Hobart; did it for years. Was made me meet them in a nearby car park (the shelter location is sorta 'secret'). Then one time I got told rather abruptly 'no thanks .... suggest you give them the the [men's shelter]. So I did.

Agree. Pullman Auckland airport most recently and at least half of the places I stayed at in Europe last Christmas. May be a residue for their better places? The cheapies probably got rid of them earlier.
