United Airlines Takes Wrexham AFC's Recent
Success to New Heights
(22/05/24)
United Airlines is celebrating Wrexham AFC's
recent promotion to English football League One with
limited-edition Wrexham AFC amenity kits and pyjamas.
Wrexham AFC made in history in April when they
beat Forest Green Rovers 6-0 to secure the first back-to-back
promotion in the club's 159-year history, following their success
in the National League in 2023.
United's innovative celebration is part of
the airline's broader sponsorship of the Welsh football club which
is owned
by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
Starting 1 June, 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 such as an eye mask, toothbrush and toothpaste as well as
exclusive Therabody skincare products.
United Polaris customers on flights of 14 hours or
longer will also receive a long-sleeve Wrexham red shirt and gray
pant pyjamas designed to resemble the team kit, of which United is
a front-of-jersey sponsor.
United and Wrexham AFC collaborated to design the
amenity kits and pyjamas, 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 and
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 and white. The
slim pouch fits easily into a carry-on bag.
United x Wrexham AFC Pyjamas: Available to United
Polaris business class travelers on flights 14 hours or more, the
lightweight pyjama set includes a red, long-sleeve shirt with the
Wrexham AFC and United logos on the front, designed to resemble
the team shirt, 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."
As the front-of-shirt 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.
