When The Screaming Stops

Received From: Robert Lloyd
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
eBay purchase. This movie is a promotional item from Lightning Video. It has a copyright on it, but no date. I'm told it's from the 80's.

eBay purchase. This movie is a promotional item but it's NOT from Lightning Video. It has a copyright on it, but no date. I'm told it's from the 80's.

When The Screaming Stops

Received From: Scott Cunningham
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag is a blue copy of a red promotional vomit bag from this movie. This was re-issued by a theatre in Lodi OH in the mid-90s, but in Blue.

Note that the bottom of the bag says "Please Reuse and Recycle This Bag", which sounds a tad disturbing.

Whistler Mountaineer

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Ed Kry
Print or Image Color: Black and White
Background / Bag Color: Navy
Though the bag looks a little like Jet Blue's nearly generic offering and Lufthansa's uninspired bag, there is actually a picture of the train heading back from Whistler Mountian.

White

Approximate Vintage: 2009
Received From: Pedro Alves
Print or Image Color: Gray
Background / Bag Color: White
I have no idea what this bag is. I assume it's an airline called "White" who put out a bag that says "Colored By You". I don't know if that means your spew colors the transluscent bag or you are supposed to use a crayon, which would seem almost useless on this plastic bag.

White Eagle Aviation

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: Matthias Koch
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
The white eagle: symbol of power and freedom. Only this white eagle still has an egg tooth. Kind of wimpy if you ask me.

White Generic Airsicknessbag

Received From: Britta Bebensee
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
This is the genericest of the generics. I don't know how you could possibly make a more generic bag, unless you un-italicized the word "Airsicknessbag".

White Generic Kenya

Approximate Vintage: 2014
Received From: Kate Lukof
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
An extremely generic white bag with no real indication of its origin, however this bag was lifted from a 10-seater flight to Lamu, Kenya. On the back, it says the bag was made by Paperbags Ltd, www.mafuco.com. And if you go to their website, you'll see that Mafuco is a Kenyan Company in Nairobi.

White Generic Multi Use

Received From: Fredy Thürig
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: White
I think this, along with Gray Falten, Gray Falzen, Light Blue, Navy Blue, and Red may complete this genre, but I really don't know. According to Fredy, this bag is used on Edelweiss Airlines.

Wideroe

Received From: Jo Boyd
Print or Image Color: White and Blue
Background / Bag Color: Blue and White
Ah yes, the cool "Om? / If?" bag from the 1980's. Worth a look.

Wideroe

Approximate Vintage: 1999
Received From: Graham Curran
Print or Image Color: White and Green
Background / Bag Color: Green and White
Wow, the bag has only 2 letters on each side. Om? and If? This is totally non-sensical. They could have printed Ug? and Yo? and it would have made the same sense. In fact, why didn't they just print question marks?

Flash: Norwegian bag fan K. Staveland says that it "... is absolutely not non-sensical!!!!! 'Om' is Norwegian for 'If', quite logically! So one side reads om? while the other reads If? In case you should need it, so to speak."

Wideroe

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Kjell Eriksmoen
Print or Image Color: White, Navy, Teal
Background / Bag Color: Teal, Navy, White
A great follow-up bag with the Wideroe sense of humor. It says "god bedring! (get well soon)" on one side and "Uffda... (oops...)" on the other. Unfortunately, the bag has no obvious closing mechanism nor a flat bottom, so spillage is almost assured.

Windjet

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Jan Tomasek
Print or Image Color: Navy and Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
Wind Jet discovers colors, design, and the Internet. Fortuitous spacing prevents passengers from misconstruing Wind Jet as Win D Jet.

Wings Air

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Gilles Beger
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Red and White
Is flying cheap? Not according to Wings Air, however they do explain that "Fly is Cheap". Excellent Indonesian (?) offering.

Wizz Air

Approximate Vintage: 2016
Received From: Martin Stepanek
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Simple and elegant bag. However, I have no idea why the 'i' in the logo is upside down. If you turn the bag upside down it says "ZZIM"

WK Thomas (WKT, TUK, Transport UK, Euro Flite)

Received From: Wolfgang Franken
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
An interesting bag, not only because the nonsensical writing appears obfuscated, but because there are many theories about its origin. Bruce Kelly says he contacted the bag manufacturer, who told him it was a generic. Homer Goetz says it's from a British Bag manufacturer WK Thomas (WKT). Rainer Schwartz says it's from Transport UK (TUK). Walter Brinker says he found it on an Air Tanzania flight.

World

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: John Ryan
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Finally, an airline that has abandoned generic for a printed version, although this particular version is oddly reminiscent of 70s TWA bags, minus the sad pooch and Gin Rummy scorecard.

World's Worst Records

Received From: Alex Swingle
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag originally came with a Dr. Demento Album from Rhino Records entitled, "World's Worst Record". The record is kind of rare, so it would cost a lot to buy one. Luckily, Alex was willing to disentangle the bag from the record for $5.

Worldways Canada

Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
6 randomly placed Earths complete with latitude and longitude lines, each covered by an imprinted W logo cover this bag. How did they decide where to place them? Rounded capitalized font is pretty cool.

WOW Air

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Ann Friday
Print or Image Color: White, Yellow
Background / Bag Color: Purple
What a great Icelandic bag! The first I've ever seen with a Hashtag. It even has a thermometer-like "Vomit-Meter" and says

THE VOMIT-METER
Our competition's prices
Icelandic pronunciation
Obscene clouds
Monotonous ocean-view
The cologne in the next isle
The pilot's jokes
Inflight panflute music

WOW
