The hollow-ware includes a silver coffee pot and champagne bucket. The lead-free crystal glassware is from Germany`s Schott Zweisel and includes a wine and water glass, champagne flute, brandy glass, liqueur glass, and tumbler. The all-white linen is designed by Ewart Liddell of Ireland. The new First Class travel kits are created by internationally renowned skincare company Erno Laszlo. A selection of Erno Laszlo products is packed in a elegant gift boxes. There are two versions: one for male and one for female passengers. Items inside include skin revitalisers and facial scrub.
