    Yo, better safe than sorry.

    Last international trip I took, my 1.5 y/o son got airsick and in trying to help him I got airsick myself. I threw up in the bag, but there was turbulence and no service, so I just put the bag next to my warm coffee between my legs until I could get a minute to throw it away. This was maybe 25 mins into a 4h flight.

    Well… Turns out when those bags get completely wet they leak. :/.

    I took exactly one pair of pants and one pair of shorts. So I realized after about 15 minutes the warm I was feeling was no longer just my coffee, but the puke juice I was sitting in. I really got to enjoy that for like 3 hours on the plane, customs, and baggage claim.

    Lucky me I packed sweatpants for sleeping, so I was saved from rewearing on the way home. But man, bring extra pants. You just never know.
