Dearly beloved, we gather here today to discuss the wondrous properties of the Airsickness Bag. In case you didn’t know, this little gem can be found in the seat back pocket in front you on any Continental flight. It will hold the wrappers from your earphones and blanket – as well as any soiled tissues or napkins you don’t have the heart to hand to hand to a flight attendant. In a pinch, the beautiful blue bags hold liquids, too!

How would I know, you ask. Let’s not discuss the details – trust me.

Disclaimer: Although the Continental Airsickness Bag is available in the most royal of blue and magically seals up whatever trash comes to hand, it cannot be guaranteed to seal in smell of items held nor does it make you invisible during use. i.e. Embarrassment may result during use, but this is widely considered as a desirable alternative to using one’s own, or another passenger’s, lap to containing one’s “waste”.
