What's the current state of hot towels?

Slightly OT, but flew JAL last week and hot towels were provided in PE.

I bring a small packet of disinfectant wipes when I travel

Pick up more germs from surfaces than from the air

On a recent QF fiji flight I could have gone for a cold towel upon leaving NAN!

Have hot towels returned? I still haven't had it on recent international flights.

I recently did a china eastern domestic j class flight and had two! One at boarding and one after the meal.

I flew international J a few days ago and there were no hot towels.

Never had it on QF to DPS.
Has this been a thing before @Pushka ?

Hot towels used to be a thing on any Int flights. They still are on several airlines. Just not Qantas it seems. We've only flown J to Bali of recent times so don't know if it was a thing on this flight

This year I have flown J between SYD and HND, ICN, SIN, YVR and had 0 hot towels. For further details, I only started flying QF post covid and have never received a hot towel on QF ever. SQ on the other hand even do (did?) in PE

Last time I remember having it on qf was pre covid. But I wasn't sure if iv slept through it or just been unlucky.

Iv even had a hot towel on sq in economy between Darwin and Singapore.

As OP mentioned, there used to be hot towels in domestic J... and glasses of water or strawberryapple juice... and Fin Review and other newspapers...

I can solidly confirm that there is no "hot towel" service when flying on intra-state Alliance mining charter services.

I do wonder who threw a cold towel on that idea? Was it the mining companies?
