A new trend among male travelers, dubbed “raw-dogging,” has emerged this summer, where passengers forgo typical in-flight comforts and entertainment. Instead of using amenities like in-flight maps or entertainment systems, these travelers opt to endure lengthy flights in a state of minimal engagement.
The trend has gained attention following its portrayal in the Apple TV+ series “Hijacked,” particularly influenced by Idris Elba’s character, Sam Nelson, enduring a seven-hour flight without amenities after his airplane is hijacked.
Unlike strategies aimed at relaxing nervous flyers, such as techniques to induce sleep, raw-dogging involves challenging oneself mentally and physically by abstaining from usual comforts during flights. UK
DJ Wudini shared his experience with over 13.2 million TikTok viewers, boasting about completing a seven-hour flight without headphones, movies, or even water. London-based content creator Westy also joined in, showcasing his achievement to nearly 2 million followers.
This minimalist approach to air travel, characterized by a deliberate lack of distraction and entertainment, appears to resonate particularly with male travelers seeking a different kind of airborne
experience. The trend reflects a desire among some to disconnect from the constant stimulation of modern life, embracing boredom as a form of mental challenge and self-discipline while in transit.
