As I looked at the possibility of using that little bag they provide, I was remembering the last time I threw up, and could just picture me filling that and blowing it out of my hand.
Fortunately, I was able to hold my cookies and didn't need it, and now I travel with one of the hospital versions that was left over from my wife's chemo days last year. It's compact, will hold 2 liters and has a plastic ring to hold it open and to grip. Hopefully I will never need it.
Has anyone else here had the misfortune of using the provided bags, and were they adequate in size?
I have never used the bag itself lol, but I have come close hundreds of times. Once I managed to hold it until we deplaned and I ran for the mens room..luckily at my base airport so I knew where it was. Once I lost it in a trash can at PHX in full view of everyone at the USairways gates..luckily it was later at night on a weekday, so not that busy.
Onboard once, food poisoning began to rear it's ugly head. I had felt fine when I boarded, but as boarding went on I began feeling worse and worse. Ran upstream through the boarders to the lav, whereupon I released everything..from both ends but not at the same time. I came out to see the worried looks of the FA and VDB'd myself due to illness. Worse, this was one of the rare times I checked bags so they had to offload them. I am sure it caused delay. While in the terminal talking to staff I had to have another bout of the hurlie whirliees and managed to make it to the men's room.
