In 2012 I was lucky enough to enjoy several sectors on SQ, one of the key memories I have of the airline were the refreshing hot towels handed out after boarding, and I believe before the second meal service on sectors long enough to include one, and this was in Y.
What other airlines offer hot towels? Can be listed for other classes where I expect it's more common, but particularly interested in Y class.

Re: What airlines still have hot towels?
SQ/NZ/TK/TG/EK/LA/QF/EK/CX/NH just out of the Y class sectors I have had in last 2-3 years or so . Some have scented others not scented
Upon boarding, and also before breakfast after waking up for the better carriers. I appreciate it more mid flight after sleep than on boarding.

Depends if you mean Y or J/F.

Hong Kong Airlines does it for all passengers on their A330s as of a couple years ago.

EK offers hot towels in F on boarding and at meal services, although sometimes out of DXB the towels have been cold. I'm informed by crew that customer feedback has suggested cold towels are preferred in the summer. Maybe. Certainly at other stations the towels have always been hot.
Re: What airlines still have hot towels?
I traveled for business frequently up until about 5 years ago. On DL, in first class, I would occasionally have this one flight attendant and he would always give out hot towels, even on short flights. I only knew what to do from watching The Wedding Singer. Maybe you just have to get lucky and get the right individual?

JL & NH all class for international flight

DL in domestic first on flights long enough to constitute a meal service.

I flew LY yesterday from TLV-YYZ and was handed a hot towel prior to the breakfast service (I was in Y). They didn't hand those out on the YYZ-TLV route I flew 5 1/2 weeks earlier though.

Believe it or not I got two hot towels during a flight from MCI-PDX on an AS E175 operated by Skywest. In first class of course though.

Is there an Asian airline that *doesn't* do this?
