Domestically, Jet blue still packs them. I think they’re better at avoiding turbulence these days.

- ghaff 2y agoI'm sure the reduced turbulence is a big reason. Both aircraft design and better information to avoid areas of turbulence. I just should know the timeframe and just never noticed. (Presumably some point between the 60s and 80s/90s.)
- jumploops 2y agoI believe it’s been within the past 20 years, likely as a result of the improved navigation and weather systems, rather than purely improvements to planes. Source: have flown on older retrofitted planes without barf bags.
