CHICAGO, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today debuted new,
limited-edition Wrexham AFC amenity kits and pajamas to celebrate
the football team's recent promotion to League One and continued
surge in global popularity with the Emmy® award-winning show "FX's
Welcome to Wrexham" now streaming on Hulu.
These items are part of the airline's broader Wrexham AFC
sponsorship.
Starting June 1, travelers flying
in United's premium cabins on long-haul international routes will
receive the complimentary Wrexham AFC-inspired amenity kits filled
with travel essentials like an eye mask, toothbrush and toothpaste
as well as exclusive Therabody skincare products. United Polaris®
customers on flights 14 hours or longer will also receive pajamas
designed to resemble the team's uniforms, of which United is a
front-of-jersey sponsor, including a long-sleeve Wrexham red shirt
and gray pants.
United and Wrexham AFC collaborated to design the amenity kits
and pajamas, which can be viewed here, drawing inspiration from the
team crest, jerseys and overall look and feel. The offerings
include:
- United x Wrexham AFC Amenity Case: For United Polaris
business class travelers, the reusable toiletry case features the
Wrexham crest and is available in red, black or white. The case
includes a top handle, wrap-around zipper and loop to hang the bag
on a hook for convenience.
- United x Wrexham AFC Amenity Pouch: For United Premium
Plus® travelers, the reusable zippered pouch also features the
Wrexham crest and is available in red, black or white. The slim
pouch fits easily into a carry-on bag.
- United x Wrexham AFC Pajamas: Available to United
Polaris business class travelers on flights 14 hours or more, the
lightweight pajama set includes a red, long-sleeve shirt with the
Wrexham AFC and United logos on the front, designed to resemble the
team jersey, plus gray pants with the United logo on the hip.
Inside every amenity kit, passengers will find a
United-exclusive Therabody hand cream, lip balm and cleansing
towelette plus travel essentials including a bamboo toothbrush,
toothpaste, eye mask, ear plugs and socks. In addition, inside
every United Polaris kit, passengers will also find a Therabody eye
serum, face spray, tissues and a United pen.
"With our amenity kits, we always aim to provide customers with
products that make their travel journey more comfortable as well as
create one-of-a-kind keepsakes for them to enjoy well beyond their
flight," said Peter Wolkowski,
Director of Onboard Product Design at United. "Wrexham's story is
one that has been documented and celebrated these last few years,
so we're thrilled to now give United customers team-branded gear
they won't be able to find anywhere else."
United is giving fans more access to Wrexham AFC during the
club's 2024-2025 season – its second year partnering with the team.
As the front-of-jersey sponsor for the men's and women's teams, the
United name and logo emblazons the front of the Wrexham AFC shirts
during games. The airline will also sponsor the club's North
American summer tour including flying the teams to games and
providing MileagePlus members exclusive offerings.
