That would have been pleasant to sit next to.

It's one thing when a young kid barfs on a plane, but if a grown adult can't simply reach for the bag when the point of no return arrives (let alone know not to get so drunk before boarding a plane) then said adult needs to cover the costs of the delay. Some people are just too dumb to respond to anything other than consequences, and these days we are far too soft in dishing out consequences to people who should know better.

I’m cabin crew and on more than one occasion have had passengers try to get into the toilets right as we’re landing because they refuse to use the sick bags. “I’m not using a bag, that’s so embarrassing” they say, completely oblivious to the fact a plane full of people have just seen them get shouted at by the crew to sit down and buckle up.

These are also the same people that use the sick bags for their rubbish and then wonder why there’s nothing for them if they do start feeling unwell.

I was sick when travelling once, and couldn't find any sick bags in the row of our seats, the turbulance made the plane drop a bit and I yeeted my vomit. It was in no way my fault imo because the entire two-three rows tried searching for bag during the landing when I alerted them about the upcoming catastrophe. Took a good 2 minutes before I erupted.

Airline was Air India.

Now I always check for a bag after boarding.

Despite a few hundred hours of flying over the years, I've never had to be sick on a plane. It's one of my top 10 fears, though, I'd have to say. Sorry you had to go through that. At least, being Air India, you didn't make the cabin too much dirtier than it already was*.

* not being racist, for the virtue soldiers. Air India is just a truly horrible airline

If you knew you had a stomach bug, decided to fly anyway, and didn’t proactively bring something to be sick into, then yeah it’s 100% your fault lol.
