In August 2016 (Mega Giveaway), February 2018 (Mega Giveaway II), January 2019 (Mega Giveaway III) and April 2023 (Mega Giveaway IV), I made available to AFF members surplus airline items that I’ve collected. This is round V.
This time there are 63 amenity kits available.
How it works
There won’t be a scavenger hunt like there was for rounds II and III. I don’t think it’s possible to edit a post more than 24 hours after it’s made, which means it’s not possible for me to update the hunt items that have been found without needing a moderator's input. And the forum no longer has a wiki capability so that’s out, too.
The items are divided into tiers A, B and C. If you’d like an item, simply say so in a post. I’ll confirm that it hasn’t already been taken and that it’s yours. You may only request one item at a time. Furthermore, you must wait at least 24 hours (tier A) or 12 hours (tier B) between requesting subsequent items. The time is calculated from when you request the item, not from when I can confirm it. Tier C items may be requested at any time (but only one item at a time).
I will post updates to what's taken and what's still available from time-to-time.
The cost
Naturally, the items are free. However, at the end of the giveaway, I will PM the recipients with an address to which you will need to send a self-addressed, pre-paid satchel (or similar) so I can send the item to you. Please be conscious of both the weight and size of your item(s) when purchasing postage. You're free to do with the items what you want, but by participating, you agree not to sell any item.
Eligibility
To participate in the giveaway you must have joined AFF no later than March 2023 and have at least 30 posts.
What's on offer
The 64 items on offer will be posted in post two of this thread when the giveaway starts
Departure time
Therefore, barring something unforeseen, the giveaway will officially begin between between 7.30pm and 8.30pm South Australian time tomorrow (and certainly no earlier than that).
Why AFF and not charities?
I give a bunch of travel stuff to two charities. When I stay at a hotel, I regularly clean out the complimentary soaps, toothbrushes and combs and they go to where they are needed. My intention in offering up these kits and pyjamas on AFF is because I acknowledge that not everyone gets a chance to fly beyond Y and even less far forward than J. Even if I feel AFF sadly isn't what it once was, I acknowledge that the overwhelming majority of members are lovers of flying and I'd like to share some of my good fortune with them.
