What items are contained in the seat backs?

The items contained in the seat backs typically include a sick bag, menu card, and safety card. The sick bag is provided for passengers who may feel unwell during the flight, giving them a proper place to dispose of them discreetly and hygienically. The menu card offers information about the food and beverage options available on that particular flight, allowing passengers to make informed choices. The safety card outlines critical safety information regarding emergency exits, the use of seatbelts, and other essential procedures, ensuring that passengers are aware of what to do in case of an emergency. These items are placed in the seat backs for easy access by passengers during their flight.

Other options, while they might seem relevant in different contexts, do not belong in the seat backs. Blankets are typically stored elsewhere for distribution when needed, life vests are generally located under the seats rather than in the back, and shopping catalogs, while they can be provided on some flights, are not standard items found in the seat backs.
