More travelers are thinking of 'flying naked.' It's not what you think.


More travelers are thinking of 'flying naked.' It's not what you think.

"Flying naked" is a growing trend on social media, along with other trends like "raw dogging" plane rides.

Despite its name, the trend doesn't involve actual nudity.

Travelers are leaving their bags at home and only carrying themselves, fully clothed, across the country. Traveling luggage-free -- or "flying naked" -- allows passengers to breeze through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints, save money on checked bags and speed up the arrival process.

A TikTok user posted to his account in 2023 about this trend.

"Getting on a plane with no carry-on bags is the weirdest feeling," said Sebo Szabo in the post. "It's like you're just hopping on the local bus and a little while later you get off in a completely different city."

The trend involves carrying only resources that fit into your pockets or purse and leaving your luggage at home.

Flying naked can help people save money, speed up the travel process and allow them to be unencumbered by luggage. The trend may be a game changer for travelers who don't use airlines that offer free checked bags.

Some airlines were recently criticized by a U.S. Senate subcommittee for cracking down on carry-on bags that exceed size limits, the Associated Press reported.

Another TikTok trend that has made waves on social platforms is "raw dogging" plane rides. A person must forego any music, devices, distractions, food, drinks and even bathroom breaks during the flight. They just sit and stare at the seat in front of them.
