haha, oops, I just realized i missed the deadline. Well, I don’t really need anymore swag anyway. 🙂
When we flew from man-ord on bmi (rip), they were so nice and the flight was so pleasant (in coach) and they gave our daughter a little amenity kit with a miniature board game, a squishy toy airplane and some other fun stuff. That will always be top of my list. Unfortunately for AA, it’s also the standard to which I compare their crappy man-ord flight. bleh 🙁
I love the delta shoe shine in the business class amenities bag!
Free barf bags…or car trash bags 🙂
I always like upgrades!
First class amenity kits!
Unfortunately I’m very skimpy on airline swag since I generally fly economy class, but I sure would like some!
My husband received a Skyteam t-shirt along with an amenity kit several years ago when he got stranded at ATL. Ever since then, I’ve been wanting t-shirts from all 3 major alliances. Maybe only a nerd like me would care 😉
Slippers to wear on the plane!
My most treasured pieces of airline swag are a tea or coffee cup from each airline I’ve flown.
Anything with a name on it ! I’m a walking traveling billboard!!!
Best swag – a Kryptonium Medallion tag!
A nice pair of Continental 787 posters
Best item was clear, reusable zippered 1 liter pouch from SAS – perfect for the liquids for putting in the bin at TSA security. They don’t give those out anymore, but was very practical.
A luggage tag, so I know that the blue rolling luggage is mine and not the other guy’s. A pox on his luggage!
The delft houses from klm were my favorite!
I received an inflatable pillow from an airline in the Philippines. The winner was decided by a bingo like game based on your seat!
Don’t think of this as “swag” per se, but I bring home soap from every hotel from every trip. Since I have been traveling for work the last 15 yrs, we have not purchased a bar of soap and end up giving half of it to my in-laws (who haven’t had to purchase any for 15 yrs either. Silly, I know….as if soap really costs that much. It’s just a game/habit/???
tooth brush.
Not sure this counts, but from the Travel and Adventure show every year I pick up free used playing cards given away by casinos that have booths there. I don’t gamble or even play cards so I’ve used them for white elephant gifts. (Unlike 3/4 of the bag tags and other random junk I pick up there and then sits in my house until I throw it all away before the next year’s show.)
Booze
I love the packing, especially those rimowa kits from LH.
Happy 4th of july!
amenity kits, I guess – the little cases are useful for storing things now and then
postcards of the property…………
The gold wings given to me as a child flyer!
Travel Kits
Pens and notepads.
I have my Jr. Pilot wings from my first flight in 1968 on Continental Airlines.
Delta Airlines blankets.
BLUE chips on jetblue 🙂
Once I forgot to bring my headphones, and they kindly gave me one for free. That was nice.
I’ve got some nice luggage tags!
I am a sucker for small doc kits and bags to avoid the TSA zip lock mafia
Playing cards from casinos and pens from hotels. I can fondly look back on the trips when I use them later!
At the last FTU, I received a very handy ITA luggage tag which I use all the time. Thanks ITA!
mostly the normal odds and ends, but love the basics like good shampoos and conditioners…
Through a Twitter promotion, I received a duffle bag from National car rental and a laser pointer!
Business class travel kits.
I’ve received several lounge passes which I am using tomorrow on an MR SNA-ATL-SNA.
I have a penchant for Delta blankets. We are always using them! Best swag was a nice leather notebook from a conference
eye sleep mask from United
Drink coupons at Holiday Inn
Small Inauguration commemorative chocolate bars and keychain lights (Country Inn around DC area).
I had to really search my memory, but I got a drawstring bag from a Hyatt Place that I stayed at last year that I use to carry recharge cables.
Hertz rent a car key chain bottle opener.
One time I received a money clip from Eva Air.
We were the first Disney Vacation Club owners to check in to Disney’s Vero Beach resort the day it opened. We received a commemorative coin, beach towels, and a $100 resort credit.
The best travel swag I ever got was an inflatable Alaska Air hat.
The bag of Renaissance era Mickey Mouse themed bathroom amenities at the Hotel Miracosta at Tokyo Disneyland was kinda cool.
Toiletry kits and pajamas.
The little gold wings they gave to me as a kid on my first flight many years ago
