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.

Nouvelair (Helios)

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: Matthias Koch
Print or Image Color: Blue and Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
Much like Viva, they decided that a snail best represents their airline. And not as nice a snail as Viva's either. Says "Helios" in the folds.

Novair

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Blue and Gold
Background / Bag Color: White
A GREAT bag. Nice far off perspective design makes you feel like this bag is part of a greater good that you cannot see. Has kind of a rhinovirus looking logo.

Olympic Airways

Approximate Vintage: 1991
Print or Image Color: White and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Hey, there are 6 Olympic rings on this bag instead of 5. Must be some legal thing. FLASH! I have just been notified that, in the e-mailer's words: the reason is that "olympic airways" flies to 6 continents, whereas the 5 rings you are reffering to, are the ones of the olympic games, which represent the 5 (thus they're 5) human races.

Has Kard-O-Seal bottom.

Olympic Airways

Approximate Vintage: 1998
Print or Image Color: White and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Front stays the same, but adds ELAG to the bottom.

Olympic Airways

Approximate Vintage: 1999
Received From: Christian Funch
Print or Image Color: White and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Made bag bigger and maybe got sick of ELAG because the bag no longer has a bottom! The gusset says Carl Fried, Müller AG. Wow, how egotistical does Carl Fried have to be in order put his name on the bag?

Oman Air

Approximate Vintage: 2010
Received From: Ray Brunsberg
Print or Image Color: Silver, Gold
Background / Bag Color: White
All those rings are gone and we are left with silver and gold to class up the bag.

Pan Am

Approximate Vintage: 1998
Received From: Chris Dahl
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Gray
Or are they?

Philippine Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 1995
Received From: Rick Barry
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
This is a pleasing Carribbean water shade of blue.

PIA

Received From: Burkhard Walther
Print or Image Color: White and Gold
Background / Bag Color: Olive
Bold olive is the theme of this bag. If you look at the scan of the bottom, you can see how poorly constructed this bag is, at least aesthetically.n

Portugalia Airlines

Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: Gray
Very strange color scheme, black on gray, that actually works. Logo reminiscent of trying to grow crystals in space.

Qantas

Received From: Mike Roselle
Print or Image Color: Black and Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
Bag sports the 1972 Olympics abstract human figurine complete with abstract trash can. The cool thing about this bag is that if you use it, you have to wait until the plane lands before they'll give you another one, when 'a replacement will be provided'.

Qantas QF03

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Paul Mundy
This bag's offer is good until 2005. Plus you can mail it anywhere in Australia for free! Need to throw up? Just puke in the bag and drop it in the mail!

This is the QF03 bag.

Qantas

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Paul Mundy
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
For the first time in over 20 years, Qantas eschews the Photo Bag (since film is no longer ubiquitous?) in favor of plain simplicity (and unispired bag design). However, the bag proudly announces the vital message "4A10".

Qantas

Approximate Vintage: 2008
Received From: David Shomper
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Qantas continues its uninspired line by moving the instructions to the bottom of the bag and bending the kangaroo's knees markedly.

Royal

Approximate Vintage: 1998
Received From: David Birtwell
Print or Image Color: Blue and Gold
Background / Bag Color: White
Bag tries to be elegant, but barely misses.

Royal Air Maroc

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Thomas Lazarovici
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to the other version except the logo appears on both sides of the bag instead of just one.

Royal Brunei

Received From: Bettina Weissmann
Print or Image Color: Black, Yellow, Gray
Background / Bag Color: White
Boring bag with yellow and gray racing stripes.
