Long-time readers of Picks may remember Rune's Barf Bag Collection, the astounding compilation of sick sacks from around the world. Now, a challenger to Rune's compulsive collection has boarded the flight. Enter Sergei Novikov, a Russian traveler with an ever-increasing count of safety cards, those laminated information sheets, usually found in your airplane seat pocket, which are emblazoned with the legend "PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS CARD FROM THE AIRCRAFT." Well, we thank Sergei for his light fingeredness because this site is full of hundreds of the darn things from all over the world. So, set those cabin doors to automatic, cross-check, and spend some time perusing the pictures. See how fancy Cathay Pacific is with its cards featuring real people. Enjoy the apoplectic colors of Cypess Air's Airbus A319. Question Martinair's decision to go all minimalist with its safety cards. And wonder whether someone should let Siberian Airways know it's about time the Russian fleet found a new artist. Between Rune and Sergei, you should now be well prepared for a safe and un-messy lift-off.
