United previously offered limited-edition amenity tins in 2014, showcasing the carrier’s mainland U.S. hubs. The set of domestic-location tins proved so popular with customers that United is now introducing the new global-location set.

Global First and BusinessFirst customers on international flights arriving in the United States continue to receive the airline’s traditional amenity kits.

PGA TOUR Amenity Kits

Beginning in April, on international flights departing and arriving in the United States, United will offer amenity kits with a PGA TOUR theme. United is the official airline of the PGA TOUR.

The kits, which come in the form of shoe bags, will include traditional amenity kit items plus tees, United-branded Bridgestone Golf balls and a promotional offer for a future Bridgestone Golf purchase.

The United-PGA TOUR amenity kits will be available through the end of June or while supplies last.

Additionally, United and the PGA TOUR offer MileagePlus members discounts on starting times and golf club rentals at properties within the PGA TOUR’s TPC Network โ€“ a collection of more than 30 world-class golf destinations primarily throughout North America โ€“ and discounts on the TOURAcademy.

In other related news, United stated yesterday it wants to operate regular flights to Cuba from both Newark and Houston (Bush Intercontinental), subject to government approvals according to Reuters. United has operated charters to Cuba from South Florida in the past. United also holds the old Pan Am route authority to Cuba but this would probably be replaced with a prospective new bilateral agreement if the embargo is eliminated by Congress.

Regular flights (which ended in 1959) are likely years away. In the meantime, Cuban charters continue from a limited number of U.S. cities.
