I miss getting on a plane and reading Skymall to see what batshit crazy stuff they had to sell. Anyone else?

Wait, Skymall isn't a thing anymore? Here I thought I was just picking shitty airlines...

"SkyMall declared bankruptcy in January of 2015, but they were purchased in April 2015 and relaunched the following month as an online retailer. There was a plan to get back into planes but that never really happened. Today, SkyMall is still an online retailer."

Huh, all online now...

I was more confused about what SkyMall even was. Even if I never went into one, I knew what Sharper Image was. I thought SkyMall must have been a regional chain.

Sharper Image style catalog in the seat back pockets on airplanes.

Yeah, I don't fly if I can help it and I think frequent flyers overestimate how ubiquitous air travel is.
