Awards
2026
The Seal of Passenger Approval
The TravelPlus Awards are more than accolades — they are a mark of distinction within the world of onboard hospitality. Entirely independent and free from industry affiliations, these Awards celebrate the very best in design, comfort, and innovation.
Judged exclusively by select panels of experienced travellers, each entry is scrutinized with a discerning eye to ensure fairness and integrity. This passenger-focused approach guarantees that only the finest creations earn the coveted Seal of Passenger Approval.
Open to airlines, private jet operators, suppliers, and visionary designers, the Awards honour excellence across every touchpoint of the journey — from beautifully crafted amenity kits and elegant tableware to imaginative children’s packs, luxurious bedding, and sophisticated sleeper suits.
Winning a TravelPlus Award is not simply recognition — it is a statement of excellence that sets brands apart.

TravelPlus 2026 Amenity Awards Review Coming Soon
The standard of amenities continues to soar, not just in terms of luxury, but in the heart, creativity and humanity behind them. What moves me most is how these kits don’t just serve passengers; they tell stories.
We’ve seen partnerships that spotlight emerging artists, showcase lesser-known countries, and bring local heritage to a global audience. In many cases, they’re changing lives at both ends of the journey: offering opportunity, dignity and recognition to those who create them, and unforgettable sensory moments for those who receive them.
Five-Star Rating for Passenger AmenitiesÂ
The TravelPlus Five-Star Rating is the global benchmark for airline excellence in onboard passenger amenities. This award is based on independent passenger focus group feedback and represents a unique mark of quality achievement. Airlines must submit entries in at least four award categories to qualify for this Five-Star rating.
