Bag Monster

OK, Bag Monster is a moronic name, but Monster has become a catch-all phrase for "Hey, this will help you do something" This section will help you find the bags you're looking for (like you're really looking for them). Leaving everything blank will retrieve a list of all bags, however that may cause the page to load slowly.

Air Nauru

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue and Navy
Stylistic Red Chinese Suns on tailfins, even though the airline isn't Chinese. The back side of the bag mentions Air Supply, which was a really great 80s band that now apparently manufactures barf bags.

Bruce points out that the bag mentions a "Fight Attendant". I guess passengers on Air Nauru are prone to get agitated.

Air New Zealand

Received From: Ralph Riffenburgh

Background / Bag Color: White
If you can ignore the pubic hair logo, you'll see that this bag mainly shills for Avomine motion sickness medicine. They tell you never to leave home without it. So now wherever I go, I have to bring an AMEX card and Avomine.

Identical to other landscape version except if you flip the bag over, you apparently have to see your chemist to get Avomine. Sounds like a street euphemism to me.

Identical to other landscape version except if you flip the bag over, you can get Avomine from your pharmacist instead of your chemist.

This bag is identical to this other Air New Zealand bag, except that this bag is printed in portrait instead of landscape.

Air New Zealand

Air New Zealand actually has a preferred motion sickness medicine: Avomine. I'm not sure why they recommend this over say, Bonine or Dramamine, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with money!! The bag also tells you that it is provided to you "to collect general waste", whatever that might consist of.

Air New Zealand

Received From: Ghislaine Iliff
Print or Image Color: Blue and Aqua
Background / Bag Color: White
I have no idea how old this bag is. It's very similar to the 1997 version, except the logo is alongside Air New Zealand instead of on top of it. Also, the bag is printed with 2 different shades of blue. The instructions tell you to leave your bag on your seat at the end of the flight. Flights from New Zealand to say, Los Angeles take 18 hours. That's a long time to sit with your puke!

One other thing, note that the detail printed on the 'stunt bag' is missing, unlike other Air New Zealand versions.

Air New Zealand

Air New Zealand goes generic. The only hint the bag is from New Zealand is a small NZ in what looks to be a product or serial number.

Air New Zealand

This is a pretty funny bag featuring several languages. The text says: feeling unwell?
E mauiui ana ahau
braak
erbrechen
vomi
(Sorry, I left out non-Roman languages. The bag culminates in the double ententre, "However you say it, it all comes out the same." and "If affected by motion sickness, use this bag and not your carry on"

Air Niugini

Approximate Vintage: 1995
Received From: Mike Roselle
Print or Image Color: Maroon
Background / Bag Color: White
The art deco Bird of Paradise looks more like a really ugly insect. The 2000 version of this bag rectifies this ever so slightly.

It seems like a waste to print a two color logo when it's impossible to tell what the logo might be.
Flash! Bag fan, Tony Young says the logo is a stylized Bird of Paradise. I don't know, it still looks like a broken key ring to me. All joking aside, these birds are endangered and I would encourage you to support their protection.

Air Niugini

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Gerhard Lang
Print or Image Color: Maroon and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Almost identical to previous version except that the two word phrase Airsickness Bag has become the three word phrase Air Sickness Bag.

Air Nostrum

Received From: Thomas Blickle
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag represents Air Nostrum before their merger with Iberia Regional (I think). It appears that the logo is one of a large caliber bullet downing a majestic bird. Either that, or a bird that's about 5 times the size of the sun is seen flying behind it. And just what do they mean when they say "No Strum"?

Air Nostrum (Iberia Regional)

Approximate Vintage: 2010
Received From: Federico Mandrile
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
I can never tell why some bags are branded primarily as Air Nostrum (as this one is) and others primarily as Iberia Regional. I do like that in French it say "Sac de Rebut" as if throwing up is a rebuttal to the food served.

Air One

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Roger MacRae
Print or Image Color: Gold and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Adorned with a classy Great Blue Heron. It just goes to show that simplicty can be aesthetically pleasing.

Air One

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Nicola Ottolini
Print or Image Color: Teal and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Diagonal stripes of variable width adorn this bag. You can't see it in the scan, but the bag is tapered slightly. What an excellent innovation for keeping the good stuff in and protecting against splatter.

Italian airline. The Blue Heron looks even bigger as it flies over the logo and poops out a period for the motto "My Number One"

Air Ostrava

Received From: Christoph Vogel
An aesthetically beautiful bag of the setting sun, covered with chain links, gold rings, or Cheerios. Bag is out of register and the inner lining is cumbersome as it doesn't quite stick to the walls. Still, you rarely see halftoning on a bag and that's what sets apart Air Ostrava from other more pedestrian bags.

Air Pacific Fiji

Received From: Oliver Conradi
Print or Image Color: Navy
Background / Bag Color: White
A rather uncommon bag with 3 languages -- English and 2 of which I don't even know what they are. However the 3rd language is loquacious and must be a real hassle to speak. To wit: The simple phrase "When experiencing nausea" becoms "Moshan siknas beg yani ulti anne ke samaye kaam mei lane wala thaila; jab bhi aap koh lage ki aap ulti karna chahate hai:"

Note too, how an English semi-colon becomes a colon in the 3rd mystery language.

Linguistic expert Rod Young to the rescue, who says, "The mystery languages on the Fiji bag ar Fijian and Hindi (Indians make up 40+% of the population), though I wasn't aware their version of it is romanicised.
