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!

The Potty Putter. A miniature golf game you play while on the toilet!
“Only in the Air” heated slippers for your pet
Some crazy cell phone!
Only in the air entry would have to be from my flight earlier this evening where I saw a ‘Train your cat how to go to the bathroom in a human toilet.’
The craziest thing I’ve seen in an in-flight magazine was a physical CD for AT&T dial-up internet. On the CD packaging it said, “CD CANNOT BE USED AS FLOTATION DEVICE.” Ridiculous that they either felt the need or were required to!
A foot warmer for the in-flight that you could use to keep warm while shedding your shoes. Just the thing for a long flight in the winter
marshmallow ear plugs ;X
Mermaid Swim Fins
Robot
My favorite was the aquarium coffee table. All glass on the top and four sides so your aquarium can be seen by all in front of your sofa!
A golf mat you put around your toilet to play while relieving yourself..
“Only in the Air” can you find Humunga “LIPS” and “MUSTACHE” shaped Dog toys! Ridiculously cute!!!
