Nope, never, I like rollarcoaster rides so planes don't phase me. I have on occasion taken it out to use it for my peanuts or other garbage. Love the look on my seat partners face when I do that! lol

My friend who worked at an airline used to give me a bunch of them when I still carried a lunch to work!

Never had to use one other than that but I do take the one in front of my seat off the plane because I figured I paid for it.

LOL I did barf a little bit watching Fear Factor one time..
they were eating something really gross and I imagined what it would be like -- I have a vivid imagination...
after that I would close my eyes when they got to that kind of stunt.

My only barf bag use was on the ferry crossing the English channel back in 1969. It was a horrendous day on the channel. Oi vey, I never wanna feel like that again!

You all are quite hilarious! I think there's been only one time the barf bag has been put to use in our little airplane and that was when PODH was giving a friend of ours a tour of the area. They flew over the dam on the Owyhee River. He was watching the water flow over the spillway into what we call the glory hole and he lost it! Too much movement at an odd angle and whoosh!

And no! I have never barfed in an airplane! And I've never made anyone else barf in an airplane either...

Now I've been accused of making certain people carsick...but that was THEIR fault...not mine

Nope, never on an airplane.....but....I caught one of those GreyHound busses once between cities, and I had my head in the bag for the entire journey!

I tried spending the trip in that little bathroom at the back of the bus, but some very inconsiderate passengers wanted to use it, so I was stuck with the barf bag.

Nope. I've never needed the bag. I love the whole experience of flying. Now a small boat on the caribbean from cozumel to cancun..........it wasn't pretty and I'll never do it again.

Nope, never have..But then I avoid flying whenever possible. It's not the airplanes that bother me, it's the airports. I don't need that kind of aggravation.

I'd venture to say it wasn't the pilot's fault but the passenger's....
