The difference between Business and Economy class amenities

• I have flown all over the world in both business and economy class cabins.
• In 2022, I was in business class with Air New Zealand. Last year, I flew United economy class.
• Each seat offered amazingly different amenities, from lounge access to bedding.

From receiving a free toiletry bag on an Air New Zealand business class flight to free headphones on a United economy flight, take a look at all the amenity differences.
