The luxury offerings are constantly being revamped to incorporate new high-profile fashion designers in order to give frequent fliers something to look forward to, and most importantly, a reason to stay loyal.

First class kits are usually packed with pamper products from top beauty brands — including Aesop, Aromatherapy, Bulgari, and Ferragamo — to keep passengers feeling hydrated and rejuvenated while in the sky.

Some major airlines now also offer their premium passengers designer in-flight sleeper suits and slippers to ensure the ultimate comfort during overnight long-haul flights.
