Sad news. Loved their products. Well at least looking at their products wondering who on earth might buy them.

Maybe the FFA should pool its money and buy SkyMall out of bankruptcy. We can put Rayderr in charge since he needs a job.

This news will send my parents into a deep depression.

I wonder how many of those $14,000 bow flex things they sold.

 

[Osaurus]

So just more barf bags in the seat pocket now. So sad :X

 

[TheAristocrat]

Well now where am I going to get my dog an umbrella?

 

[Scoresman]

WTF am I going to read on short flights now?

 

[SFBayDuck]

Does this mean I'm not getting a giant airplane pillow for my birthday now?

 

[Shane Falco]

Amazing. That's the first thing I think of when I hear SkyMall

I actually referenced this exact technique last week (carry-on bag and complimentary blanket). It worked

I have a 24 hour flight planned this summer and am all over this pillow.

​

If you cannot rest without a full comfy surface, then Skyrest is for you. This is certainly a bulky pillow and has more potential to disturb other passengers, but it does provide the most space for travelers to relax. It is probably the closest you can get to bringing your own bed on the plane. There other benefit is that it has multiple uses and you can rest books on it when you aren’t resting your head. It does take up a large amount of space both inflated and deflated. You’ll need quite a bit of spare room to take this pillow with you.

ETA: Nevermind, the J Pillow looks more effective.

Tanzania - 12 hours to London, 12 hours to Dar Es Salaam. Easiest flight is 15 hours to Dubai and then 8 hours at a hotel (maybe 6 hours of sleep at best) before another 8 hour flight.

Such a perfect comment.

Sad news about weird and untenable American consumerism today.

I loved SkyMall.
