China Eastern Airlines Jiangsu

Received From: Roger MacRae
Print or Image Color: Blue, Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Looks like all the other China Eastern bags, but this one is specifically for the Jiangsu region, I think.

China Eastern Wuhan Ltd.

Received From: Dean Eckert
Print or Image Color: Blue, Red
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag features the longest Chinese word in the world, spanning 14 symbols. I have no idea why China Eastern mentions Wuhan, but perhaps it's a corporate takeover of some sort. Perhpas you know?

China National Aviation Corporation

Approximate Vintage: 1995

China Northern Airlines

Received From: David Shomper
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag is a lot like the other China Northern bag, except notice how 'FOR VOMITING&DISCARDING' is so squeezed in. Plus 'tear off to open' has moved on both sides of the bag. Also, the telephone number on the back changes.

I'm not sure if this is a bird in front of the moon or snow capped mountains. Also, a green Chinese bag? What's going on?

China Northern Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 1996
Received From: Martin Stepanek
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Although this bag says "China North Airlines" the English name is actually China Northern Airlines. The bag is primarily in Chinese, meaning that English had yet to infiltrate the country and take over the copy on barf bags.

China Railways

If you look closely at the QR codes, you can see they've embedded their logo within. Pretty clever.

China Railways simplifies its bag and puts the QR codes on the back.

If you look closely at the QR codes, you can see they've embedded their logo within. Pretty clever.

China Southern

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Marcus Johns
Print or Image Color: Navy
Background / Bag Color: White, Navy
Same as the 2005 version except now they show the universal "guy throwing trash in a wastebasket" symbol for those that were previously baffled by the bag's purpose.

China Southern

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Marcus Johns
Print or Image Color: Navy
Background / Bag Color: Navy, White
Exactly the same as the other China Southern 2004 bag except there is no registration block on the back of the bag

China Southern

Approximate Vintage: 2019
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Purple
Background / Bag Color: White
I'm actually not even sure this is a China Southern bag as it could easily be a Chinese generic. However, the font is identical to a previous China Southern bag so I'm basing my classification on that. OK Air (also Chinese) has a similar font but a much different bag design

China Southern

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Navy, White
Background / Bag Color: White, Navy
This is a lot like all the other China Southern bags of the same era except if you look in the fold, you see that this one was manufactured by CZAIR, whatever that is

China Southern Airlines

21 vertical lines on the bag. Lotus flower logo.

Nausea stud, Y.L. Tan chimes in that the flower is not a lotus. It is a stylized kapok flower.

Much like the 21 vertical lines version except no printing on the back and they added a tab to seal the top.

China Southern Airlines

Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Most of the parallel lines make it to the top of the bag, but strangely, two don't. It must have been a pain to design this bag because they erased the lines where the text runs -- and it sure doesn't look like a computer did it.

This bag is almost, but not quite, identical to this one. The difference young bag hobbyist, is that this bag only has 6 Chines characters under the logo. The other bag has 8. I'm sure there's a reason for this discrepancy, but I have no idea what it is!

China Southern Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 1999
Received From: Tim Gibson
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Very similar to other China Southern bags of the same era, but this one has instructions on the top. Usually, the instructions are only in English, but China Southern also uses Chinese as if to say, "We're morons too!". The reverse side still has the enigmatic '99 3 18265.8', but the folding instructions are gone!

China Southern Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2000

Background / Bag Color: White
I don't know Chinese, but the 4th Chinese character (reading left to right) in the airline's name kind of looks like a guy running to throw up somewhere.

Luckily, it's resident Chinese bag expert YL Tan to the rescue. YL claims that the character in question is called a 'fang' and it means 'direction'.

China Southern Airlines

Although this looks like the 2000 version, the vitally important information '99 3 18265.8' was added to the bag's back.
