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.

Air Tahiti Nui

Well they almost got the English right: This may use for Air Sickness. That's OK, the pretty flower on the bag makes up for the poor English usage.

Air New Zealand

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Melissa Spicer
Print or Image Color: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, White
Background / Bag Color: White
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 Asia

Aces

Note how the sun casts a shadow on the letters. Nice touch.

Aeroflot

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Aeroflot tweaks their bag by centering the text atop the bag and removing one of the Russian words under 'Aeroflot'. I wonder what was so offensive about that darn word they removed?

Aerolineas Argentinas

Received From: Mike Roselle
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
The logo on this bag is either a staple remover, a bent anvil, or a bird wearing a dog collar.

Aerolineas Argentinas

Approximate Vintage: 2004

Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Aerolineas Argentinas dabbled in a text only bag. Then they had a text with logo bag. Now they release their newest innovation, a logo only bag. If you didn't know better, you would look at this bag and wonder what printing company spilled ink on this reject bag.

AeroSur

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Denir Camargo
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: White
Cool half-eagle half-A logo. Note that the descriptive text only has the word Bolsa, but not Bag.

Oooh. Went to multi-color printing! Check out the aircraft that carries this bag.

Air Afrique

Received From: Philippe Turpin
Print or Image Color: Brown
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to other Air Afrique bag except this one is brown instead of green. The inner fold (not pictured) also has the amazingly ridiculous concatenation "Franpap", which I guess stands for France Paper. Maybe Switzerland has Swipap?

Air Berlin

Approximate Vintage: 1995
Received From: Walter Brinker
Print or Image Color: Reddish-Brown

Zzzzzz.

Air Berlin

Web savvy Air Berlin adds a URL to their bag and eliminates the bag's bottom so that it now meets as a V.

Background / Bag Color: White
Same as other Air Canada black and white bags, except the bottom says 'DRG Packaging', DRG being the manufacturer.
