I was traveling once with food poisoning. I'd had a bad batch of oysters or sushi or cheese, I couldn't narrow it down.

I asked the FA for a barf bag or two, and she even offered to bring me a trash bag. I said the regular bags would do, but she was very accommodating. Every couple minutes they'd bring me some ice to suck on. I explained to the FA that I was okay to fly, and that I wanted some barf bags just in case.

Very good experience. I didn't have to use it, but it was worth knowing the quick thinking of the FAs would have prevented a minor disaster. I really appreciated the ice and they very very kind.

I've never seen a barf bag being used, but it's happened I'm sure, I just didn't see it.

CK.
