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!
Here’s how to enter:

my husband builds golf course for a living and travels all the time so most of my birthday/anniversary gifts come from the airline magazines. one that didn’t work so well was the pool chair that ended up being impossible to get into and way, way to big for our pool
I found unicorn meat in a can. Of course I had to buy it as a gag gift for Christmas. Look it up to see for yourself.
The beverage bra.
i saw a lighted doggy leash with matching collar
My invention for this airline magazine would have to be… The Sock Toaster!
“A toaster specially designed for keeping your *socks, warm and toasty, and toasting your favorite delicious breads and muffins!”
And it would be shaped like a sock on its side.
*The Sock Toaster does not work with other clothing items.

Pet crate end tables for me
I saw a garden statue that looked like a dragon going in and out of the ground . it was huge and ugly and came in something like 6 sections. Who would want that?
Singing toothbrush
I’ve always thought drinking fountains for cats are ridiculous.
A bowl should be good enough!
