8 Crazy Travel Items You Should Never Pack

1. Anything from Skymall

Browsing the Skymall catalogue is an outstanding way of passing time during a long flight, but don’t even think of ordering anything from its “travel” section. Please say no to the world’s most famous—and space-hogging—airplane pillow. And the probable runner-up.

And don’t stoop to a device that spies on your cell phone, so you can track who your “kids, employees or spouse” are calling/texting from your phone… which you left behind when travelling.

If you’re flying to Japan, note that Japanese Skymall is even nuttier than the North American version. Enjoy! (But don’t buy!)
