"What sounds to be one of the most disgusting sites on the web is actually one of the funniest. A comprehensive collection of "barf bags" from airlines worldwide, this site has pictures and descriptions for each one (none are shown used). If you've ever been curious about the world of the barf bag, this is the place for you!"
In a bid to knock Niek Vermeulen off his
perch as the world's biggest baggist, Virgin Atlantic has issued a bag
big enough for you to climb into.
This latest Virgin advertising stunt takes a sideswipe at budget
airlines. The text is a bit longer than most baggists are used to
reading, but I do recommend you read through to the bottom - it mentions
our noble avocation!
Credit goes to Michael Christopher
Scott who sent the picture and to Christian Mundigo & his wife
Braden Rhetts who snagged the bag from a billboard in NYC.
On December 4, 2008,
the USA business magazine Forbes did include Rune's barf Bag
Collection in an
article about odd collections.
The
Newbie Bag
The most newly acquired bag on display
Turkish Airlines 5
Beige bag from Turkish Airlines with folding
mark and vertical closing wire. "Turkish Airlines Türk Hava
Yollari" on base of bag. "For your waste" and "If
used hand to cabin crew for disposal" in English and Turkish.
Thanks to Ole Konarski for bringing this bag to
Rune's Barf Bag Collection!
Rune's
Barf Bag Collection now exhibits:
1291
different bags from
481 airlines in 133 countries!
How I count bags: I count
all barf bags, airline, bus, train, boat, generic (but
only once!) and advertisement bags as long as they are barf
bags. I don't count or collect plain white bags or non barf
bags.
Recent
additions to the collection:

Another variant from Transavia with web
address transavia.com low on bag, "disposal bag" on middle.
