2012 was the year that the iPad case entered the world of amenity bags, along with a bag designed by Porsche, the iconic German car brand. It is clear from the level of entries that these awards go from strength to strength with both the global airlines and suppliers. Over 100 entries from around the world were received this year for the 15 awards. These include amenity bags onboard Air Astana, Air Berlin, Air Niugini, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, China Eastern Airlines, Condor, COPA Airlines, Emirates Airways, Etihad Airways, Finnair, Icelandair, KLM, Lan, Novair Airlines, Oman Air, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Swiss Airlines, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic Airways and Virgin Australia.

bags designed in brighter colours, softer fabrics and more environmentally-friendly. Suppliers are continually searching for new and exclusive deals with leading cosmetic brands adding kudos and a touch of class. This year TravelPlus will no longer award Silver and Bronze rosettes and has put greater emphasis on the fact that if an entry makes the short list it’s a great achievement in itself. Only
four entries per category will make the short list and from this, one will win the converted TravelPlus Gold Rosette.
The judges
This year the judging was undertaken by frequent travellers, children and industry experts. As previously, the judging was designed to view the amenities from the traveller’s perspective, for its ‘Wow’, desirability, chicness, perception, functionality, exclusivity and ‘keep factor’ after the flight. Judges included Jennifer Coutts Clay, Sarah DaVanzo, Tim Milner, Dr Dhananjayan Sirskandarajah, Gordon Brown, Mark Poland, and Keith Haynes along withTravelplus readers.
