Air France unveils a new collection of comfort kits

This summer, on its long-haul flights in the Business and Premium cabins to and from South Africa, Air France is introducing a new range of comfort kits, carefully designed to meet the needs of every passenger. Refined, elegant and practical, they contain a selection of items designed to help passengers relax and enjoy their flight.

New chic & modern kits in Business

A new comfort kit will be available in Business Class, with two models which are replaced every six months. Two versions have been designed: a light grey version for summer 2026 and a navy blue version for winter 2026–2027. Its elegant design showcases a contemporary pattern made from over 90% recycled material. The kit is also adorned with the winged seahorse, the airline’s emblem.

To complement this kit, Air France’s longstanding partner Clarins has selected two miniature skincare products containing 96% naturally derived ingredients. Designed to provide comfort and well-being during the flight, they complement the Clarins treatment areas in a selection of the airline’s lounges:

  • a Beauty Flash Balm,
  • a Moisturising and Quenching Matte Gel.

The kit also includes earplugs, a night mask made from recycled materials, a bamboo toothbrush, a tube of organic toothpaste made in France, and a pair of socks made from recycled materials.

All the essentials in Premium

Air France will also be updating the comfort kit in the Premium cabin. Available in two versions, replaced every six months, this elegant pouch features felt detailing and is made from fully recycled materials. It comes in two colour combinations: a navy blue version with a horizon blue flap, and a horizon blue version with a navy blue flap. Each model features the Air France emblem on its flap.

Each kit contains all the essentials for a comfortable flight, including earplugs, a bamboo toothbrush with organic toothpaste made in France, a pair of socks made from recycled materials, and a night mask.

Beyond their role during the flight, the kits are designed with a second life in mind, giving passengers the opportunity to reuse the pouch and its contents long after they have reached their destination.

“Small things can make a surprisingly big difference, particularly when you find yourself in an unexpected situation,” says Wilson Tauro, Country Manager Southern Africa at Air France-KLM. “Having something as simple as a toothbrush and toothpaste can bring a sense of comfort and normality when you need it most. We like the idea that these essentials can continue to be useful beyond the flight, whether they are kept for future travel or find a new purpose when someone else needs them. It is a simple example of how thoughtful design and circularity can extend the value of an amenity kit well beyond the journey itself.”

With a combination of practical essentials, considered design and recycled materials, the new collection reflects Air France’s approach to creating a more thoughtful and comfortable travel experience, from take-off to arrival and beyond.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
