barf bags

Airplane nausea receptacles

Barf bags are the paper or plastic bags provided on airplanes for passengers who need to vomit during flight.

Found in seatback pockets alongside safety cards and magazines, they're a symbol of motion sickness and air travel anxiety: I grabbed the barf bag just in time.

The term extends to any bag kept handy for nausea emergencies.
