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!

Oh Johnny Jet, Oh Johnny Jet “Only In The Air” would you find a “Pooch Porch Potty” Ho Ho Ho . Sang to the tune of O Christmas Tree
wow
the remote controlled towel
There are so many but the ones that stand out are the remote R2D2, the solar cube and the mounted squirrel head. only in the air!
A camera lens mug is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen.
It’s gotta be the Subservient Dragon Table. It’s a 3 foot tall dragon, holding a glass table that you can serve your guests from. Actually, the dragon serves your guests, ergo the “subservient” dragon.
why does a pet need a ceramic pet fountain!?! a plain old bowl of water will be just fine, thank you very much.
Life size yeti
The teach your cat to use the toilet kit!
SkyMall has always been interesting to me in its offering of great DVD box sets like Cagney & Lacey, McMillan & Wife, Columbo, etc. The strangest thing I’ve seen though is these hideous vinyl football hats. Not sure what man would respectably wear them, even in jest.
My only in the air product is the Voice Activated R2-D2. http://www.skymall.com/voice-activated-r2-d2/77944.html I’m NEVER. EVER. showing it to my husband – he’d want one!
