Has Anyone Ever Ordered Anything From Sky Mall (or similar mags)

You know when you fly you have that Sky Mall Magazine, that has all sorts of things, you probably don’t need, but seem cool, because you’re on a jet and realize you could crash and die so why NOT treat yourself? :slight_smile:

First of all is that on every plane. I usually fly American and Southwest, so I’m not sure.

Second has anyone actually ordered anything from them? If so what is your opinion of it.

I haven’t ordered from Sky Mall, but I have ordered from Herrington and Hammacher-Schlemmer. I think they usually have products in Sky Mall. Good quality merchandise.

This is what I am dying to order for my daughter’s wedding gift (I know she wants it) but I’m afraid I’d keep it for myself…

Never, but I’ve been tempted to. I think if I appease the Corporate gods with an offering of cash, my plane won’t crash.

As a kid (from the ages of 7 to about 13), I used to fly alone on British Airways all the time. Mostly 8+ hour intercontinental flights.

Bought much stuff from the in-flight shop, mostly due to boredom. That, and because my parents would give me a big wad of cash in case of emergency (having to buy another plane ticket, get a hotel room, etc.)

That stuff was always actually on the plane, though. AFAICT, SkyMall is more or less like mail order.

I’d have to keep that for myself, too.

I don’t fly often, but I have looked at the Skymall catalogue. It’s reading material, it’s in front of me, so OF COURSE it will be read, even though I have a couple of paperbacks in my purse. I giggle to myself, because I generally know where I can get the same thing for about half of the price quoted in the catalogue.
