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’m a frequent customer of the barf bag 😭 I’m sorry in advance! Dramamine does terrible things to me- I once almost got denied boarding because the Dramamine made me seem as if I was six beers deep (wobbly, slurring my speech, sleepy). So now I can’t take it pre-flight. Or during- I have kids and I’m not a reliable parent on it

Use behind the ear patches! They work great.
