A unique innovation: the wire wings are joined to the bag by a
trapezoid piece of paper that stops the wings from catching in the seat
pocket. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this clever idea caught on
among the bag-design fraternity: no other bag features it.

Filipinos may be the most straight-speaking people of Southeast Asia, but they
still can't bring themselves to write "airsickness". Instead, they reach for the
euphemism "motion discomfort". Perhaps there's cultural influence from
Northwest?
This is an interesting construction, consisting of a flimsy plastic bag inside a
stout paper one. A bit like Yangon Airways. (1994) |
