BYO Eye Mask and Ear Plugs in SQ Business ?

On yesterday’s flight I got the small amenities kit but Mrsdrron didn’t. Certainly inconsistent.
We were both given one on request in J on on SQ232 yesterday. They asked me when I requested the amenities kits whether we also wanted socks, slippers, ear plugs or eye shades.

Whenever I’ve asked for ear plugs they’ve been provided. No problem. I’m travelling in a couple of weeks to HOU hopefully I’ll get them upon request again. Otherwise I’ll use the noise canx headset that’s provided… I’ll probably forget to take my own. Shame SQ don’t automatically provide an amenity kit like others, but then a lot have a high % of plastic and all end up in landfill.
 
We also got the little green Penhaligon ones on request on SQ218. Little hand cream, lip balm and face mist. Once you’ve had the first class kits these seem so tiny, but anything is nice. Note that the hand cream and face mist are available in the toilet area on the plane anyway, so it’s only the lip balm that’s an extra if you are planning to use the products onboard.

Ah, I understand now! You can get that mini kit but then eye masks, socks etc. you have to ask on top. What a classy (stingy) airline experience that is. Next flight coming up in 4 weeks time, this time I will specifically ask for the "green kits" and hopefully more luck then.

When we got to our seats there was already eye masks, socks etc, we didn’t have to ask for any of that. We just had to ask for the amenity kits. I can see that it could cut down on waste, I guess that’s a positive, but the kits are very underwhelming if you have memories of how they were years ago.

Maybe that has changed, my last flights are now 3 weeks ago and there was no trace of anything by the seat. Had to ask and specifically asked about amenity kits but the only thing I could get in the end was a tiny eye mask and some foam ear buds.

Will be keen to see whether that's changed next time. Any sign of hot towels yet- my far bigger gripe personally to not get any?

Classic first world problem, in my opinion. Just ask for what you need. I am no greenie, but I do get how much waste is produced from amenity kits - the lip balm might get used more than once, but I suspect that 90% of the materials are dumped.
 
Haven't read prior replies so might be repeating... SQ no longer provide everyone amenity kits on "regional" long-haul. Basically any flights between Singapore and Sydney/Brisbane/Melbourne. But honestly you are not missing out on much.

Ouh- that's in line with my recent experience but I've been lectured on various forums that you should be getting them on the Aussie Singapore routes so not sure now what's the truth. I'll just try and ask next time- we will see.

I dunno- this talk about "First world problems" never sits too well for me if the ticket prices are certainly on First world level. So I personally think this whole term is a bit mute on a forum like this and on a thread about amenity kits. After all, about 99% of problems we discuss on here are technically "First World problems" -it's not called the Australian "Feed the hungry babies in Africa" forum, is it?

And "just ask" is totally not good enough for an airline that prides itselves to be one of the best airlines in the world, period. "Just ask" is what do at Meccas.
 
Recently flew FCO-SIN-MEL with SQ in J and was more than a little disappointed not to be offered an amenity kit of any description - especially as the first sector was 12 hours overnight.

Retrospectively, I've read the Penhaligon’s amenity kit is 'on request' and fair enough if they're looking to reduce waste. However, when I asked, I was rather curtly directed to the supplies in the toilet. Not quite what I had in mind.

Probably worse, was the lack to the more common eye mask/ear plugs/slippers/socks offering that is usually waiting on the seat. Not on either flight. A request resulted in a more polite offer of an eye mask but the ear plugs never turned up. On disembarking, it was clear a significant number of other passengers, had received these kits but not all.

I have no idea if this is the new SQ or whether there was a supply issue. Either way, if you're planning to travel SQ in J, be sure to bring ALL your home comforts with you.
Recently flew Mel KL and returned a week ago. No amenity kits. Asked for one and received eye mask and slippers. Also only choice of dinner or breakfast on the night leg. The staff appeared to us as "robotic", just going through the motions. Our first business trip on Singapore Airlines and I must say it was a little underwhelming.

Yeah, I do get your point and respect your contributions. We pay a premium so expect a premium product and for me that is the food (which appears to be falling short on SQ J according to that other Trip Report thread), quality of the champers, service on board, PB, priority checkin/security, hard product, lounges, irrops recovery, customer service on the phone etc. On the other hand, I'm very happy with my own lip balm and ear plugs.

(And it is "moot.")
