Buddha Air (white)Disappointingly un-ornate bag from this Nepalese carrier. I had hoped for a gold-and-jade design featuring a meditating Buddha. (Just to reassure you: you don't have to use the lotus position on Buddha's seats.) Thanks to the charming Kabita Dewan of Buddha Air in Kathmandu (1999) |

Buddha Air (blue)Still no meditation, jade or gold, but a nicer design than the white item above. Looks like Buddha Air stole the design from Jet Airways of India. I got this on a "mountain flight": a one-hour joyride offered by Buddha and several other airlines out of Kathmandu. There were only nine passengers in the 19-seater Beechcraft, so we were able to move about the cabin. I managed to steal six bags while the others were gawking at Mount Everest. That's a 30% success rate. A highly enjoyable flight. (2001) |

Buddha Air (cabincrew)Slightly more purple, and retypeset. Thanks to John Farrington. (2003) |

Buddha Air (cabin-crew)Re-typeset since last year, with a couple of errors in the English: lowercase "c" in "close by folding towards you", and cabin-crew is now hyphenated. Thanks to Hans Hockey. (2002) |

Buddha Air (white stripe on base at left)Nearly missed this one: the bag is the same as the one above, but the paper reinforcement on the base has a white stripe on it, on the left... Thanks to Hans Hockey. (2002) |

Buddha Air (white stripe on base at right)...and on the right. Thanks to Hans Hockey. (2002) |

Buddha Air (puking woman)Truly a multipurpose bag. "Application", it says under the line drawing of a barfing woman. "This bag can be used for vomitting, spitting, throwing the wrappers of chocolates, etc. and throwing baby's excreta in the flight period. Thanks!" Thanks to Alan Howlett (2004) |

Buddha Air (faded; dark tab)No puking females on this bag. The ink has faded - diluted, perhaps, or faded in the sunlight. The tab is held on with a dark purple piece of paper. Thanks to Shuva Sharma (2005) |

Buddha Air (faded; light tab)Still faded, but this time to match the paper fixing the tab to the bag. Thanks to Shuva Sharma (2005) |
