Awards Review
THE AMENITY BAG AWARDS Winning ways!
Congratulations to the winners of this year’s TravelPlus Airline Amenity Bag Awards. Julie Baxter reports from the awards night in Hamburg
Over 100 VIP guests gathered at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Hamburg to hear the winners announced in this year’s TravelPlus Amenity Bag Awards. This year’s event was held alongside
the World Catering and Onboard Services Expo for the second year running and saw top spots go to suppliers Formia, Sky Supply, Wessco, Gategroup, LSG Skychefs and buzz. Attending the awards ceremony were industry leaders and those who hold a pivotal role in the conception, design and supply of amenity kits. There were over 120 nominations in
this year’s awards, coming from across the cabin classes. Following feedback from last year’s awards, the Business Class category was this time divided into geographical regions, to allow for a more in-depth exploration of the needs of individual travellers from different areas of the world. The judging was done by a group of
regular travellers who worked in small focus groups to judge according to criteria focussed around trend, pleasure, luxury, usability and style.
The winners for each of the categories were as follows: Supplier of the Year: Formia
