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!

“Only in the Air” Product: The Zero-Gravity Tri-Mode Personal Video Boom Headmount.
Your iPhone or Android smartphone easily mounts into this light as a feather, adjustable head mounted boom. The telescoping and bendable boom offers a myriad of positions for taking still pictures or shooting video of yourself, others, or both!
Want to talk on the phone? Just use the speakerphone and don’t bother taking the phone out of the mount – what could be more convenient?
Constructed of space-age, top-secret materials, this head mounted camera/phone boom is both sturdy and stylish. So good looking, you might be tempted to wear it even without the phone mounted on it! But that won’t happen because this ingenious invention offers so many conveniences:
Mode 1 – Ready/Aim/Fire!
Tired of missing the perfect photo-opportunity while fumbling in your pockets for your for your smartphone? Conveniently suspended at eye-level, you will never miss another shot. Hitting the power button and triggering the shutter was never easier with the convenience of one or two handed operation.
Mode 2 – 100% Selfie-Ready
Does your arm tire after extended sessions of taking those hilarious selfies you love to send to all your friends and post publicly on social media? The zero gravity support let you save all your energy for clicking the shutter as opposed to aiming holding the camera aloft. Plus, once positioned to capture the perfect angle to highlight your stunning facial features, the strong boom will keep the camera in position until you choose to try your other profile!
Mode 3 – Split-Screen/Constant Video
Have an unlimited data plan? forget about the tiresome chore of remembering what you did on your trip, simply set your phone to a split screen view using both the front and back cameras to stream a continuous video of your trip from beginning to end. Just imagine how your friends (and stalkers) will enjoy experiencing your vacation in real time – seeing not only what you are seeing, but also how you are reacting – or viewing it over and over for years to come as they live vicariously through you and your awesome life!
A product so revolutionary, you may never want to carry your phone in your hand or clothing again!
Adjustable to hat sizes 6 3/4 to 8.
Price: $199.50. Save $50 when ordering three or more.
The “Only In Air Product” I saw that was odd to me was an Vivitar digital camera and Binocular combo.
A life-size statue of Bigfoot
Toilet Paper roll heater
dog crate end tables or a doggie waterbed
King Tut’s Egyptian Throne… $1000 of pure absurdity. I was kinda hoping for it to be a toilet add on to make it a “throne” but to no avail it couldn’t be done.
Only in the Air Product that I saw that I think is the dumbest thing ever made is a baby wipie warmer….
wireless call notifier
Strangest most hilarious thing was a. Chew baca costume from Star Wars
