Sterling

Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Red and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Quite a striking bag that needs an ever so slight tweek of the vertical hold adjustment. Back of bag indicates 'waterproof' which aside from the ability to open up should be number 2 on any bags list of priorities.

A quality Duni product, whatever that is. Maybe it's big in Copenhagen, where the charter is located.

Elegant, unremarkable bag in Harvard Crimson colors.

This bag features a smart looking flight attendant taunting you with a non-existent sandwich. In fact, Sterling is so fixated on cost cutting that this bag exhorts you to advertise on it. Oh, and you might as well go to their website and sign up for Sterling Spam as well.

Sterling Airways

Fairly non-descript, simple design with a caravelle plane. Unlike the eerily similar Sterling Airways bag, this does NOT claim to be waterproof.

It looks like they repeated the S&H Green Stamp logo 238 times on this bag. If you didn't know any better, you'd think this bag was either a Seasickness Bag or harkened from Sea Air (which makes no sense).

Lagg Garna Ditt Skrap Har sounds like something you might find on a menu just below Lutefisk.

This bag is the first bag I've gotten from Sao Tome and Principe. Wow!

Styrian Spirit

Well it's a sticker on a bag, but the sticker actually says 'Airsickness Bag', so it must be intentional.

Sudan Airways

I just noticed that the Arabic words that mean Air Sickness Bag actually look like gross streams of vomit. And I thought Arabic was character based, not pictographic. In any event the logo seems rather political. First, you have the big important logo, but next to it as an afterthought, is a crummy tiny logo which adds nothing to the overall design and meaning of this bag. In the same way, my description adds nothing to the overall design and meaning of this web site.

Summit Bank

Background / Bag Color: White
This is the ONLY bank sickness bag I know of. A great gimmick, given that the bank specializes in Aviation Financing.

Sun Aire Lines

Received From: Steven Price
This is an AWESOME 1970's bag from an airline with a sense of humor. In Steve Price's own words: About half of one face is taken up by a logo of a duck wearing a leather helmet with ear flaps and aviator goggles, arms outstretched, surrounded by the words "Quayet Erp Barfing Bag". Directly beneath the logo are the words, "for motion sickness and other emergencies", then, in a separate paragraph, "Successful use of this bag, enroute and without knowledge of the crew or other passengers, entitles you to membership in the Quayet Erp Barfing Society. SUN AIRE LINES. Dedicated to good, clean flying."

The other side is more businesslike, with two paragraphs of text. "This envelope contains one moisture-proof plastic bag. To be used during moments of motion sickness." "After use, seal contents in bag with enclosed tie, and hold in hands like a security blanket. Other passengers will appreciate it."

Sun Aire Lines flew puddlejumpers (for all I know it still does) between Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and smaller airports in southern California. The planes held perhaps a dozen passengers and flew around rather than over most mountains. The sensation of being in one was what I imagine it must be like to ride a butterfly.)

Sun Aire Lines

Received From: Barbara Freeman
This bag is identical to the other Sun Aire Lines bag, except WB Beuthe Enterprises distributed this bag from Box 486, Cathedral City, CA 92234, instead of Box 2401, Laguna Hills, Calif. 92653, like the other bag.

Sun Country Airlines

Received From: Ken Costilow
Background / Bag Color: Dark Teal and Red
I love the color combination of this bag. Plus, this is one of the few bags that show a passenger.

Very nice bag, but not as nice as the teal bag of yore. Passenger shown has way too much leg room.

Sun D'or

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Sam Green
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: Navy
At first glance, this looks exactly like El Al, but if you examine the bottom of the bag, it says Sun D'or right on it. It's kind of an interesting name. Sun is certainly English, and Or is probably French for 'Gold'. The Hebrew next to it doesn't even attempt to translate it, otherwise it would be called something like N'er Zahav.

Sun Express

Background / Bag Color: Navy
Sun Express designers managed to create a logo that indicates neither speed nor the sun.

Sun Express

Cool bag with various sickness advice on it in English and German, as well as who provided the quotes. Here are the quotes:

Try drinking a carbonated sweet drink such as sprite or cola. -- Ayse

I like to sniff a bottle of perfume. This distracts me. -- Hande

Some people know they're going to be ill whatever they do. If this is the case, the only alternative is to use this bag. -- Emre

In the fold of the bag, it says the manufacturer is Posetsan.

Sun Express

When I first obtained this bag, I thought it was identical to the 2011 version. However I saw a blue block on the bottom so I thought it might be different and upon closer inspection it is!

First, if you look in the fold they changed the manufacturer from Posetsan to Dizayn. But the bigger albatross is that they changed the fake names on the quotes on the bag. I have no idea why. Maybe planes in different countries get different names, who knows?

Here are the English quotes (although they changed the names on the other language quotes as well):

Try drinking a carbonated sweet drink such as sprite or cola. -- Eray [was: Ayse]

I like to sniff a bottle of perfume. This distracts me. -- Arzu [was: Hande]

Some people know they're going to be ill whatever they do. If this is the case, the only alternative is to use this bag. -- Umit [was: Emre]
