CONGRATULATIONS to our winner: Keri Butler, seen in the photo here with her haul! Keri’s wine glass-holding necklace was just one of hundreds of great (and ridiculous) products we received as answers. See them all in the comments below!
The contest (now over):
Have you ever been on a plane, flipping through one of those in-flight catalogs, and seen an item that’s made you laugh, or point out to your seatmate, or just shake your head? Something like, say:
- A remote-controlled towel
- A hat that can remember your name
- Dog ice skates
- Edible bookmarks
- A TV powered by bacon grease
None of those items are real, but in the air—based on what else is out there—they really could be. In our “Only In The Air” contest with Gogo, we’re asking for the craziest, most ridiculous, coolest, most ingenious, most impractical, or just most memorable product you’ve ever seen in an in-flight catalog. If it made you think, “Only In The Air,” we want to hear about it.
From the pool of readers who share their favorites, one lucky winner will be picked to win a Macbook Air, an iPad and an Apple TV!

binoculars that the lenses unscrew into a double flask!

message belt buckle!
There is a pet stroller for sale at SkyMall — not quite what the vet meant by “your dogs needs more exercise”.
I’ve seen a doggie stroller for someone to push around their favorite pooch!
Only in the air…I can’t believe the Sky Mall catalog is still in existence.
An elephant leg table
I found this XtremeCooler on my United flight home two days ago for my only in the air submission. At first seems ridiculous but would be awesome for an Airshow or day at the beach to easily move your cooler with beverages and food. This video makes me want one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDwS_XuEopk.
The kitty litter pan trainer for over the toilet.
The Ultrasonic Barking Dog Deterrent that’s in the shape of a birdhouse. I’ve always wondered who would buy it.
One of the stranges things I saw was the putting green for commode use!
Backyard Yeti Statue…ridiculous yet it still seems cool
