Alaska 40-mile Air Ltd. is a small bush airline that used these bags over 15 years ago. They were used as a combination barf/trash bag according to the owner. "First In Service, But Safety First". One of the biggest bags in the collection 356 x 275 mm. Thanks to Bruce Kelly.

Air Florida repeat its name and logo all over the bag in blue and green. Horizontal closing wire. Thanks to Roger Macrae

Alaska Airlines, the closest they've come to an actual bag. This one actually has writing on it (not the name or logo, unfortunately). They've combined their seat occupied card with a barf bag, clever, eh? To my knowledge this bag is only used on Alaska Airlines so I'm not considering as a generic (yet). Thanks to Bruce Kelly.

Alaska Airlines with another variant. This one has flat base and is a little shorter. Horizontal closing wire. Thanks to Bruce Kelly.

This Alaska Airlines plastic bag has adhesive tab on back for closing. Flat base with no print. Thanks to Justin Dodge
