Where will I go to laugh at laughably bad products now? Not in an air plane.

 

[Bread]

How will I know what food is available without those last pages?!

Skymall doesn't have the menus, that's the airline magazine you're thinking of.

 

[BertramCooper]

Thankfully MandrakeMall is still going strong.

 

[Lijik]

Im gonna miss flipping through these things. I think once or twice there was an item I actually wanted and they were both cheaper on amazon.

MandrakeMall
Where you pay for your items by piloting some flights

lol,what?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

End of an era.

 

[daveo42]

I'm actually surprised it took this long for them to file for bankruptcy. It's never good when a company goes out of business, but who in the hell was actually buying stuff from SkyMall?

 

[hitsugi]

SkyMall kicks ass. I skim through one on every flight and take comfort in having it there.

I mean, people still buy stuff from the Home Shopping Channel... ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Reading this thread seems like what they should do is keep producing the magazines but don't actually let anybody buy anything. Not sure anybody would actually try anyway.

So where would their income come from?

 

[Flo_Evans]

Kind of sad. Skymall was part of the flight experience. Now I am going to have to buy a magazine to read stupid ads.

 

[no maam]

lol,what?

Could of sworn sky mall had the menus and movies available.

 

[malingenie]

What will I read when electronics must be turned off now?!

That's the main issue at stake now. What will fill the emptiness? Used to make glib comments about the crap they sold (and their prices) with the GF until I could pop the pad back.

Much better content than the star ridden, faux glamour shit in the airline mags.

 

[Dishwalla]

Do people buy things out of these? It seemed to me the only reason they exist is for the poor souls who didn't bring a book or an iPad to occupy their time on the flight.

WHY

 

[FuturusX]

I hope they keep the old magazines in the seat for a laugh.

Agreed. Keep them coming. Re-issue each one in reverse order for the next 25 years until we get to the scared first 1990 issue in approx 2040!

 

[JMDSO]

I used to mindlessly flip through the pages as I was white-knuckling a flight.

 

[terrisus]

WHY

Exactly.
It's sad that a world could exist which could have multiple television shopping channels (HSN, QVC, etc.) but might not have SkyMall

 

[The Elite]

Thankfully MandrakeMall is still going strong.

It's essential.

How else are you going to pay for your life jacket if the plane crashes in water.

 

[thezerofire]

I loved looking at the ridiculous things they would sell that no one would ever buy. A $85k personal submarine that can jump out of the water? why the fuck not

RIP

 

[Zoned]

Man this thread is amazing to read. Carry on with those SHOCKING posts. I like.

 

[Stinkles]

I've been looking for the picture of business guy on the tiny bike for a decade.

OH SHIT I FOUND IT.

My dream is over.

 

[AbsolutBro]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ;_;

Reading Skymall got me through take off and landing. Now how will I keep up the tradition?!

Seriously though, thanks to Skymall I knew indoor pet grass patches were a thing, so when my dog was on prednisone for his cancer he had an indoor bathroom. Not that I ordered it from Skymall, because it was like 20% extra.

 

[Damaniel]

Skymall - a catalog full of overpriced, useless junk.

Perhaps Skymall can sell itself through its catalog. Fits right in with the rest of the stuff in there.

 

[genjiZERO]

Man, like others - while I'd never buy any of that crap - it was always fun to kill time with on a plane.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ;_;

Oh that's a good idea. When my dog gets too old I'll try the same thing.

Thanks SkyMall!
