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.

El Al

Approximate Vintage: 2014
Received From: Petr Manda
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Nice vines grow around the outside of this bag. I wish I could tell you what the Hebrew says, but they left off the vowels.

Peruvian Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2014
Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk
Print or Image Color: Red, yellow
Background / Bag Color: White Plastic
Excellent Inca-inspired bird with complementary Peruvian font.

Balkan Holidays (BH Air)

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Simon Daniell
Print or Image Color: Navy and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Feeling sick? Don't worry, it's always a Holiday on Balkan Holidays Airlines. Nice cumulus clouds look like they may turn nimbus any moment.

CSA (Czech Airlines)

Received From: Christoph Vogel
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: Tan
It looks like the letter C in CSA has polyps.

Condor

Approximate Vintage: 2013
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Clean version of German carrier Condor, but the writing is upside down in case the stomach turns around (so to speak).

Air Dolomiti

Approximate Vintage: 2013
Received From: Federico Mandrile
Print or Image Color: Multi
Background / Bag Color: White
Lots of cool leaves in some kind of tangram formation are printed on the bag. The bag also features the word 'Settimocielo' which I think is some kind of Italian Liqueur.

Onur Air

Approximate Vintage: 2013
Received From: Ed Sluimer
Print or Image Color: Blue, Red, Gray
Background / Bag Color: White
Although substantially the same as previous bags, they decided to add gray to the bag as a way of making it more colorful, I guess.

GOL

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Denir Camargo
Print or Image Color: Orange and Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Same as earlier GOL bag except they dropped the phone number for the sales office. The also now tell you to check the web site or consult your travel agent.

TransAsia Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Rainer Schwartz
Print or Image Color: Purple
Background / Bag Color: White, Purple
The TransAsia design gets more elegant, perhaps as Taiwanese tastes have matured. The bag obviously caters to English speakers however.

Lot Polish Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Rainer Schwartz
Print or Image Color: Blue, Gray, Red
Background / Bag Color: White
They inexplicably changed the welcome message on the bottom of the bag from "Welcome on board" to "Welcome aboard". Plus the front now has a Spirograph design on it

Neos

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk
Print or Image Color: Red, White, Blue
Background / Bag Color: White, Blue
Neos looks like a generic Italian airline until you see the flying wishbone on the bottom.

Tam Mercosur

Received From: Federico Mandrile
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Red Plastic
This plastic bag is rather generic. Has Portuguese, English, and Spanish, plus a very slight windfoil direction field that covers the lower portion. Can't really tell it's from TAM at all, unless you are a connoisseur of Tam Mercosur bags and then it's obvious.

Thai Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Gerd Clemens
Print or Image Color: Purple
Background / Bag Color: White
Thai goes back to minimalism with this uninspired offering.

Thomas Cook Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Gerd Clemens
Print or Image Color: Yellow
Background / Bag Color: White
Thomas Cook pulls at the heartstrings by adding a heart to the front of the bag.

WOW Air

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Ann Friday
Print or Image Color: White, Yellow
Background / Bag Color: Purple
What a great Icelandic bag! The first I've ever seen with a Hashtag. It even has a thermometer-like "Vomit-Meter" and says

THE VOMIT-METER
Our competition's prices
Icelandic pronunciation
Obscene clouds
Monotonous ocean-view
The cologne in the next isle
The pilot's jokes
Inflight panflute music

CSA (Czech Airlines)

Received From: Clemens Hirschfeld
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
I love this crazy bag! Logos going every which way in an ordered chaos. Reminiscent of really cool bathroom tile. It's a lot like this prior version, however the planes are differnt -- less abstract -- plus the logos are offset a little so it appears there's some white space.

Mahan Air

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Amir Joneidi
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: Green and White
This bag fades from dark green to light green. Interestingly, it stops midway to white instead of going all the way. You'll understand this when you see the scan. Bag features a tiny bullet hole indicating that hostilities are never far away.

Turkish Airlines (kestro.net)

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Wolfgang Franken
Print or Image Color: Blue, Black, Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Now a member of Star Alliance, the Turks change their bag. In the fold of this bag (the part you can't see) it says the manufacturer Kestro can be found at kestro.net).

hnair (Hainan Airlines)

Received From: Xusheng Chen
Print or Image Color: White, Gray
Background / Bag Color: Gray, White
I've classified this bag as hnair, but it's really Hainan Airlines, which I guess is the same thing.

Tunis Air

Approximate Vintage: 2013
Received From: Gerd Clemens
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Largely identical to the 2010 version. With an ever growing internet presence, Tunisair now adds .tn (for Tunisia) to its URL. However it oddly leaves .com as part of its address
