USAir

Approximate Vintage: 1992
Print or Image Color: White

Generic looking. Bag seems to indicate that after you throw up, you disappear!

UTA

Approximate Vintage: 1980
Received From: Robert Masumura
Print or Image Color: Brown
Background / Bag Color: White
Excellent old French bag with a huge flower like monstrosity that's oddly compelling.

UTA

Approximate Vintage: 1981
Received From: Robert Masumura
Print or Image Color: Brown
Background / Bag Color: White
Excellent old French bag with a not-quite-perfect English translation.

UTA

Approximate Vintage: 1990
Received From: Ralph Riffenburgh
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Either Uta Pippig has her own barf bag, or the University of Texas at Arlington does. The bag tries so hard to please. If you don't feel comfortable -- call the hostess. If you're claustrophobic -- no scratch that -- if you worry about claustrophobia -- call your hostess! She's apparently omnipotent. One other note. It appears the bag has a progress bar on the bottom that has not quite completed its download.

Also note, Morquin-Muguet Manufacturer

UTA (Union De Transportes Aeriens)

Approximate Vintage: 1969
Received From: Andrew Angel
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: Tan
An enormous old and rare bag from UTA. I'm really just guessing on the date of issue.

UTA (Union de Transports Aériens)

Approximate Vintage: 1973
Received From: Andrew Angel
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: Tan, Blue
Very similar to its 1969 predecessor except the airplane has changed ... it has a different set of tail fins. Also, the stars in the background of UTA logo have disappeared.

Uzbekistan Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Manfred Kleber
Print or Image Color: Gold and White
Background / Bag Color: Navy
This bag is voted most likely to have been designed by an etch-a-sketch. Looks like it's covered in pubic hair, kind of.

Uzbekistan Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Rich Stevens
Print or Image Color: Gray and White
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag is a Gigiyenick Paket, which sounds like it's a hygienic packet only for someone named Gigi.

Uzbekistan Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2008
Received From: Gerd Clemens
Print or Image Color: Gray and White
Background / Bag Color: White
Same as the 2006 version except the airline name and instructions are only printed on the front of this bag.

This bag is a Gigiyenick Paket, which sounds like it's a hygienic packet only for someone named Gigi.

Val'ferry

Approximate Vintage: 2019
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
This French Ferry company makes a huge mistake by including an apostrophe in its company name, thereby making any and all internet / database searches that much more difficult and less accurate.

The bag says "La Caraibe en toute Liberte" which I think means "The Caribbean is completely free"

Varesh Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2020
Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk
Print or Image Color: Blue, Gold
Background / Bag Color: White
Flimsy Tyvek-like bag. You can see right through it in case you're interested in the contents.

Varig

Approximate Vintage: 1984
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White Plastic
When you are finished throwing up in this bag, hand it to the Stewardess. Do NOT hand it to a man! Made by Poliem.
