All Bags

Futura

Received From: Paul Mundy
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
According to this bag, the future is Nukes. Maybe an atomic logo was futuristic in 1968, but now it just looks silly.

Futura

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Lee Lombardi
Print or Image Color: Blue and Gray
Background / Bag Color: White
Exceedingly plain bag that tries to keep part of the former atomic logo as its legacy. The bag design still doesn't seem to portend the future.

Futura

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Matthias Koch
Print or Image Color: Teal, Brown
Background / Bag Color: White
Futura still uses the nuclear logo, as if their flights are powered by enriched uranium.

Futura

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Thorsten Hecht
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Very similar to the 2003 Futura, but they cashed in the small italic text for blocky capital text.

Fuzhou Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Gerd Clemens
Print or Image Color: Red, White
Background / Bag Color: Red, White
I like the "Engrish" on the back of the bag that says "Cherish rarth's resources from you and me"

Garbage Pail Kids Upchuck

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Nick Bublitz
Background / Bag Color: White Plastic
30 years ago, a set of cards called "Garbage Pail Kids" was released in order to lampoon the popular-at-the-time Cabbage Patch Kids. In 2015 Topps decided to re-release 10 of these cards on barf bags. Upchuck is number 1 in a series of 10.

Garcia De Pou

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Christian Annyas
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: Green and White
This bag's wonderful design is part of a maelstrom of controversy. The "I'm empty and sad / I'm full and happy" cartoon design is used by Corsica Ferries and others. The design is ubiquitous enough to be a generic, but I believe that the desing has been stolen and proliferated among various transportation agencies. If you have information or the entire story, please let me know so I can edify the public.

Garuda

Received From: Dean Eckert
Print or Image Color: Brown and Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag looks like a poorly tiled linoleum floor. The back of the bag says, "IN GEVAL VAN LUCHTZIEKTE", which I think is Danish for "In God We Trust". Either that, or it's the name of an exotic dancer, as verified by the text, "strip sluiten".

One other note. The front of the bag has the words, "Customer Service" on the bottom right, which sounds out of place, especially when throwing up.

Vomiting expert Bart O'Brien to the rescue! He says "IN GEVAL VAN LUCHTZIEKTE" is Dutch for 'In case of air sickness'. "strip sluiten" means 'seal the top’. KLM used to do a lot of support for Garuda behind the scenes. So thanks for clearing that up!

Garuda

Received From: Robert Masumura
Print or Image Color: Red, Orange
Background / Bag Color: Clear
Garuda's design innovation allows sick passengers to see vomit in new see-through bag!

Garuda

Received From: Thomas Blickle
Background / Bag Color: Red and White
Very Old-Lufthansa-esque.  Well marked on bottom. Says ACS in the fold

Garuda

Received From: Robert Masumura
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: Blue and White
Of the blue downsized Garuda bags, this is the design that got it right. Big logo on the front, instructions on the back. Simple and elegant. Too bad they kept tinkering with it.

Garuda

Approximate Vintage: 1995
Received From: Ben Guttery
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: Blue and White
This is probably the smallest bag in the museum. Someone like Ted Kennedy could probably use 8 or 9 of these at a time.

Garuda

Approximate Vintage: 1998
Received From: Mike Roselle
Print or Image Color: White and Teal
Background / Bag Color: White and Teal
An almost exact amalgamation of the 1995 and 2000 versions.

Garuda

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Rick Barry
Print or Image Color: White and Aqua
Background / Bag Color: White and Aqua
The bag got bigger! Rick says, "If you speak both English and Indonesian, you have a lot of folding to do" (See Side B). Rick also notes the error "Tear of Here".

Garuda

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
Garuda brings its back into the new millennium by adding Spirograph detailing.

Garuda

Received From: Peter Brown
Background / Bag Color: Red and White
Very Old-Lufthansa-esque. Well marked on bottom. Identical to the other Garuda Red bag except inside the fold, it not only says ACS, but also 8 more lines of company contact info.

Garuda

Received From: Andrew Angel
Print or Image Color: Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
Great old bag from Indonesia. Instead of Beg Mabuk Udara, this says Untuk Mabuk Udara. If I had even less of a life than I do, I'd compare the translations. Maybe you can do it for me?

Garuda

Received From: Andrew Angel
Print or Image Color: Orange, Brown
Background / Bag Color: White
Great old Bag! Identical to this one except that the bag says "Inflight Service" instead of "Customer Service". Not sure why they made such a bold decision.

Gazpromavia

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: René Huddlestone
Print or Image Color: Red and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
I don't know much about this bag, but I do know that there's a Russian company called Gazprom. I wonder if the company issues its own bag. Adding to my suspicion is the pilot light above the G.

GB Airways

Approximate Vintage: 1992
Received From: Christoph Vogel
Print or Image Color: Red and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Defunct airline with patriotic band-aid logo.
