Donations and Swaps

As a collector of Air Sickness Bags. I am interested in obtaining new specimens. If you happen to encounter any kind of sickness bag, would you kindly send me one (unless it's plain white)? Here's the "corporate" address:

Steve Silberberg
9 Third St.
Hull, MA 02045
USA

Actually, airlines change their bags every few years, so if you ever notice a change, please snatch that bag and send it to me! I would be very grateful for any help you might provide. Many thanks in advance.

Finnair

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Petr Hosek
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
In a stunning reversal of entrenched policy, Finnair inexplicably removes all numbers from their bag! Now there's no way to differentiate or track them. And they removed this just in time to no longer be able to take advantage of Big Data.

Air Dolomiti

Approximate Vintage: 2010
Received From: Rainer Schwartz
Print or Image Color: Black, Gray
Background / Bag Color: Blue, Teal
Similar to earlier Air Dolomiti offerings except now they sold their souls to the devil and have added that they are a Lufthansa Partner.

KLM

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Dave Murray
Print or Image Color: White, Blue
Background / Bag Color: Blue, White
KLM now features the destination cities right on the bag, so you can now accurately say "I threw up in Paris".

This bag lists the following cities: London, New York, Jakarta, Paris, Amsterda, Toronto, Tokyo

Condor

Approximate Vintage: 2010
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Hey, a winky-face! It's as if to say, "You got sick, but we both will keep it a secret". Bag says, "Das wird schon wieder!"

Identical to other Condor winky-face, but this bag has a flat bottom which allows it to stand up.

Lot Polish Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 1995
Received From: Christoph Vogel
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Same as 1998 version, but much lighter coloring. Doesn't Torba Chorobowa sound like either a Buddhist Monk or a Wookie?

Emirates

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Gerd Clemens
Print or Image Color: Brown and White
Background / Bag Color: White and Brown
Kilroy is gone, but the web site remains. Instructions in English, Arabic, and Icons.

Baggist Extraordinaire, David Shomper notes that this bag says "Solid Litter Only" and "No Liquids", which would seem to obviate puking in the sack.

Chunder Bag

Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Green, Black
Background / Bag Color: White
The Chunder Bag is one of the few commercial bags available for sale. You can buy them on their website

The copy on the bag is pretty entertaining for a barf bag. On the front, it says: Chunder Bag ™
Contain the mess, until you feel your best!
On the back it says:

Instructions: Gently open bag at handles and "take care of business". Use the zipper seal to close the bag when you are done. The adhesive at the top of the bag is your secondar closure to help protect against spillage. Discard immediately. Keeping this bag upright is advised.

Suggested Uses: This chunder Bag can be utilized for many purposes...ranging from disgusting to "not-so-disgusting". Here are some ideas we came up with: puke; dog poo; clean diapers and then use it for those soiled number; feminine products; toiletries that may leak; soiled clothing. Please email us with your creative use of our product. We may feature you on our website! Creativity coupled with usability is always welcomed.

Unadvised Uses: Beach ball; flotation device; gift bag; small pet container; transport for living matter ... just to name a few.

Take it on a plane, put it in our purse.
Store it in your car, share it with a nurse.
Chunder Bag is awesome.
Especially when at your worst!

Air India

Approximate Vintage: 1997
Received From: Thomas Blickle
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White and Red
Very much like the 1998 bag, except uses tabs as a closing mechanism.

Cathay Pacific

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Nicodemus Tan
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Light Blue
In their tireless effort to improve their product, Cathay Pacific adds Fold Lines to the back, but it would take precise skills that only people who paint your name on rice possess, to be able to successfully make two folds that are only 3/8" apart.

Egypt Air

Approximate Vintage: 1990
Received From: Christopher Wren
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag says it's Made in Egypt. Gee, you don't say! I couldn't tell by the poorly printed dead dandelion logo.

Japan Airlines

Received From: Toshiaki Anan
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Gray, Charcoal
I don't know if this is the same airline as JAL, but if so, this bag is a radical departure from all their other offerings, if for no other reason than there's no instructions.

Sabena World Airlines

Received From: Thomas Blickle
Print or Image Color: Blue, White
Background / Bag Color: White, Blue
This bag is the paper airplane version of Sabena, featuring a paper airplane flying parallel to ocean waves, of which there's very few in Belgium.

FLASH! Mermaid expert and amateur Belgian cartographer Veerle van Mansfeld is quick to correct my erroneous assertion. Veerle says, "Belgium is a tiny, tiny, TINY country. From the uppermost North to the downmost South is only 193 km (120 miles) BUT our coastline (Atlantic Ocean/North Sea) is still 67 km (42 miles) long, so to us Belgians, a plane and its barfbags flying over ocean waves, are a very common image. I am just - in an absurdly perfectionist way - setting the record straight."

SAS

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: David Shomper
Background / Bag Color: Orange, Blue, Gray
Scandinavian decides to add an orange tear-strip, which is a nice aesthetic touch.

Thai Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2011
Received From: David Shomper
Print or Image Color: Purple
Background / Bag Color: White, Purple
Similar to the previous version except now Thai is somehow "Smooth as silk", whatever that's supposed to mean.

Inside the fold of the bag it says ""Y.N.S. MARKETING CO. LTD. May 2011" which is a great reference for us collectors.

Etihad

Approximate Vintage: 2009
Received From: Marcus Johns
Print or Image Color: Green, Gray
Background / Bag Color: White
Etihad decides to change its bag ever so slightly, removing any trace of red (and therefore the logo) from its 2008 offering.

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.

Airtours International

Approximate Vintage: 1998
Received From: David Birtwell
Print or Image Color: Navy
Background / Bag Color: White
ENORMOUS bag. Could easily fit three meals.

Precision Air

Approximate Vintage: 2011
Received From: Ray Brunsberg
Print or Image Color: Green, White, Yellow
Background / Bag Color: White, Green, Yellow
At Precision Air, you are why we fly, not profits or anything like the shareholders would like to hear. Cool antelope figure graces the bag.

AirUK

Approximate Vintage: 1995
Received From: Glyn Carre
Print or Image Color: Red and White
Background / Bag Color: Navy and White
They decided to make it look much more British.

Qatar

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Gerhard Lang
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Purple
Qatar adds a fold line and a clip in this updated model. The most interesting feature of this bag is the ibis-like ungulate on the bag's bottom.
