Default Deck of Cards

Something I have not asked for a while when flying is a Deck of cards. I think the last airline I ask was Japan Air lInes when my friends and I flew to Europe. They gave us a few decks to use and keep ( dont have them anymore,). SInce then I have either travelled alone for work or travelled on budget airlines so we could make the dollar go further and travel more often ( in this case we are lucky to get the chair).

Do airlines still provide cards, if passengers ask for them?. I still have a few decks and think they are a nice souvenir of a trip and a colloctectable for an aircraft spotter like myself.

My kids got a deck of cards from SQ when we went to Singapore 18 months ago.

They do ?

How exactly do you get them? Just ask them.. or do they only give it if you're travelling with children?

I'll be flying NZ and QF at the end of the year, so I'll kindly enquire about them.

Several of the airlines I've flown with offer decks of cards for sale through the inflight catalogue.
So even if it may not be free, it usually doesn't cost more than a couple of dollars.
