Jetsetters Embracing The Minimalist Travel Trend ‘Flying Naked’

‘Flying naked’ is the new trend taking the travel world by storm, with jetsetters opting to fly without luggage.

Seb Szabo, an aspiring Australian musician, posted to TikTok, saying: "Getting on a plane with no carry-on bags is the weirdest feeling. It's like you're just hopping onto the local bus, and a little while later you get off in a completely different city."

The travel trend offers passengers a form of liberation from the restraints that come with baggage, instead of checking in with "just vibes".

People flocked to the comments to agree with Szabo, with some dubbing it “flying naked” and others suggesting the trend feels “illegal”.

No fighting for space in the overhead lockers or hoping that the airline won’t lose your luggage. Just you and the clothes on your back.

According to thrillist, despite the freeing nature of the trend there are limitations to the trend.

Columnist Melissa Heckscher said: "When these luggageless vagabonds must get by with what they have - or buy and borrow what they need.

"Shopping means accumulating future baggage for your return trip, so if you want to fly home as 'naked' as you came, get only the essentials (or plan to ship any purchases).
