All Bags

Air Caraïbes

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Christian Annyas
Print or Image Color: Blue, Green, Yellow
Background / Bag Color: White
A clean and beautiful design whose palm fronds remind you that you'll soon be getting over your motion sickness on a tropical island.

Air Caraïbes

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Jean-Charles Dayot
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
The design is simpler now, displaying a saw palmetto behind the letter 'A'.

Air Ceylon

Received From: Andrew Angel
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: Tan
OMG Are you kidding me? Air Ceylon! Ceylon hasn't been a country since 1972 so you know this bag is old. Not surprisingly, it's one of my favorites, hardly any English on it at all.

Air China

Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to other version, except it has a yellow tab.

Air China

Air China

Received From: Gerhard Lang

This bag is an amalgamation of the front of the 2001 bag and the back of the 1996 bag.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: Jerry Borowick
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
This is identical to the earlier Air China with a red seal except the middle Chinese character has changed! What could this new bag say? Is it political correctness?

Once again, a museum visitor to the rescue. Bag scholar Robin Gomi says, "The middle character is a "simplified" version of the older complicated Chinese character. The three Chinese characters on the bottom combine to mean "clean and pure bag". Thanks for clearing that up, Robin!

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Mike Roselle
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
A sleeker, sexier Air China than proffered in the past.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Marty St. George
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Exactly the same as other 2002 Air China, except somebody's graphic design layout program went haywire. A monstrosity appears on the bag because the scale of the arrow is much too large.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Roger Macrae
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Another year, another bag for Air China. This design is sleeker and sexier than previous versions.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: YL Tan
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: Pink
Pretty much the same as the other 2003 Air China bag, except this bag is much smaller and has a PINK background. Very soothing, I understand.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Churchill Franklin
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Air China rearranges their bag again, for no particular reason it seems to me.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Ray Cranfield
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag is almost identical to the 2003 bag except the ticker on the front is offset a bit and the rectangle on the adhesive strip on the back is red.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Bill McClory
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
This design is identical to the 2003 design, except they left off the "open" directive on the front of the bag.

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Bill McClory
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
This design is identical to the 2003 design, except for the new purple tear strip.

This bag is identical to the other 2007 bag except in the gusset of this bag you find Chinese Characters, not the English letter "A".

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2009
Received From: Marcus Johns
Print or Image Color: Red, Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Same as the 2007 version except the "Open" instruction now has an arrow next to it. Plus, there is a blue dashed line at the top where the scoring is. Thanks for the improvements, Air China!

Air China

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Rainer Schwartz
Print or Image Color: Blue, Red
Background / Bag Color: White, Blue
This bag is identical to the other 2007 Air China bag except the gusset contains the English letter "A" instead of 2 Chinese characters (Ching and Watashi?)
