Mesaba Airlines

Boring, boring, boring. 

I hope that that's enough to embarrass Mesaba execs into supplying a decently branded bag.

Mexicana (plastic)

So much to say about this long, thin plastic bag. Like Continental, it doubles as a "seat occupied" (o, si tu prefieres, "asiento ocupado") sign. The same puzzling "prohibited" sign, too. Unlike Continental, though, Mexicana's printing is upside down... just like British Airways.

Helpful little diagrams at the top show you how to tear off the sticky strip to seal the bag. Memorise them first, though, because if you follow them you'll end up covering the diagrams up. A recycling diagram says the bag is made of PAD plastic (whatever that is). Oh, and why is the Spanish printing smaller than the English?

Just to remind you: it is the policy of this webpage to scan all bags, rotate them 90º to the left (so the bag opening is on the left side) and reduce the image width to 175 pixels. Don't like it? Then do your own webpage.

Mexicana (flimsy)

Retypeset, and in flimsier plastic too.

Thanks to Govert Gijsbers. (2003)
