I agree re the seats. I ended up with a crook neck from the overnight MEL-SIN flight. The old A380 seat on the return SIN-SYD leg was better, but I reckon I get better sleep in a Y seat than the crookedness of the lie flat J seats. Plus when in the upright position they’re pretty uncomfortable for short people.
I think the end to amenity kits is a good thing. The staff will give you toothbrushes/eye masks etc. if you ask, but by not handing out a package of items most people won’t entirely use, it cuts down on waste. So much would go to landfill.
I always loved getting amenity kits (back in the day in economy) but basically anything like that or items i get from hotels etc, I dont throw away, I either use them as travel items and / or end up collecting enough to then give to the homeless.
