I would kill any of you for the Air Nigeria bag on the bottom row in the middle.

Much classier than those air(sickness) bags we've mentioned two or three times before.

I remember how proud my Grandfather was of the QANTAS and Air New Zealand bags he had collected on his trips across the Tasman. Cool stuff, ColdChef.

Thanks for this one, ColdChef - great site full of fun stuff (love the motel signage and Eastern European neon). Troyland Cultural Awareness Programs, indeed.

Damn, this one simple search for "airline bag" at ebay turns up probably 20% of this collection.

How badass are these Jamacian, Yugoslav, and Swedish airline bags?

Cool, Eastern Airlines bags. : ) But no old-school Midway Airlines bags! I loved Midway.

Wow, Mathowie - if I was a chick person-of-the-feminine-pursuasion, I'd give my left nipple for that Jamaican bag.

This is great! My dad was a Pan Am lifer, and I am in possession of #s 1&2, third row, and #3, fourth row, in the PA collection; also, some grooming kits, playing cards, and silverware. My daughters keep trying to snag the bag swag, but I won't let 'em near it.
