Here the airlines normally give scented tissues, cookies, candies, stuffed toys or at the most some pouches for the kids... I do keep the tissues, they come in handy and I am a sucker for the candies...

Yes I remember I was in Singapore Air and there are few childrens on board and I saw the flight attendant holding cute soft toys and handling them with these kids. And I was pushing James to ask that maybe we can also have one. But I think its only for the kids.

I do the same, I'll keep everything and give some with my nieces and nephews and they seems to like it because some of the toiletries come in a small packet. Thanks, riya.

On long flights the airline give a lovely bag full of useful things. Out of those things I have kept kept the eye shades. These have proved helpful to me when I have slept on the floor in my sleeping bag at the airport and in backpacker dorms when the lights are on when I go to sleep. I notice that the ear phones are not suitable if they have have two plug ins because my personal music play needs just one plug in. The socks are usually a bright color and lovely to keep. I use the things that I have kept from long plane trips. I can find all these things in my travel box.

Hi maximax! Sometimes I still use the eye shades when I sleep here at home, specially when hubby is reading. I normally used those colorful socks in winter and I kept some as a souvenir. Thanks for the idea of travel box, I may have to get one when we get back home. Thanks, maximax, and happy traveling.

Sometimes ... they gave a plastic spoon, but it is packed together with other things like toothpicks, tissue and sugar, it is provided with the meal, i didn't use it to eat the meal, so i keep it to make a coffee or tea at house, after that i didn't use it anymore

haha.. this question makes me to think about one comedy incident of my friends father.whenever he used to go outplaces, he have the habit of steeling something. it is his habbit & hobby(???) like.. for eg., if he goes to a hotel, he steels the chilly sauce cup or any tiny things he can like small plate, spoon, etc., recently last week, he stole one silver spoon from flight and kept inside his dress. while checking outside the airport, he was caught by the security when metal detector keep on gave continous beep. many passengers are afraid that time. but the security's very casually leaved him with a smile when they came to know it is a spoon. also they give him the spoon back to him. for ur question, i havent travelled in flight yet. but my mother goes singapore very often. but she dont have the habit of keeping. she gives that to kids in our relations!

Hi raghul! Lol, stealing something small, that is so funny, but bad habit though! You should ask your mom to keep some things from the airlines, lol. I have been in Singapore airlines and can't remember what are the things that they give to the passengers! Thank you so much for sharing the experience of your friend, that is so funny. Thanks raghul.
