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!

I always liked the pillow with holes for your head and hands that blacks out light – so you can sleep in Economy on those long-haul flights!
I saw a personalizable Viewmaster. That was pretty cool!
A personal massager to fit in your purse that looks like a tube of lipstick. REALLY, you can’t wait until you get there?? I will never ever look at lipstick the same. “ONLY IN THE AIR”
It has got to be the “tree face” you buy to place on a tree in your backyard so it can look like it has eyes, nose, and a mouth… Genius! Don’t know how I ever lived without it! I now see my life was incomplete before learning about it… #SweetIgnorance

I’ve never been on a plane but if I had to dream something up it would be the air freshner/nausea bag.
I once saw iPhone cuff links in the Skymall. They were mini little iPhones designed with apps and everything the size of cufflinks. Only in the air!
Dog leash
I think the first time I ever saw a “porch potty” for dogs in one of those “airline shopping magazines”, I thought, “Seriously??”. Only in the air!!!
Lighted dog lease powered by pulling by your dog
Chocolate fountain.
A talking dog collar, that the dog owner controls. So, it doesn’t even help if the dog is lost. You just use it to “surprise” your guests when the dog talks, when you push the button.
