What ‘Naked Flying ‘?
‘Naked Flying’ means traveling without necessary goods. That is, very minimal packing, only the same goods that come in a small bag under your seat. Such as a purse, laptop bag or small backpack. The purpose of this trend is-avoiding long queues of check-in, staying away from the hassle of heavy suitcases and maintaining travel light, fast and without stress.
Totally Bare:
These are the people who carry exactly basic goods – such as only phones, wallets, charger and perhaps sunglasses. They have neither extra clothes nor toilets. This trend is perfect for those who are going on a short trip and want a carefree journey.
These people carry less goods, but it is not just about their leave. They fill something in every pocket of their jacket, waste or cargo pants – such as snacks, small first aid kits or travel size toilets. That is, smart travelers who are ready, but do not pick up the bag.
Delivery crew:
These travelers already bring their heavy stuff to the destination. That is, they send their luggage via courier or delivery service, so that they do not have to raise anything during the journey. There is a little planning and expenses, but the facility is tremendous.
Although this trend may look fun, it also has its own disadvantages. Many times people reach the place and buy clothes, which later puts them in the hassle of buying a new bag for return or courier.
According to the New York Post report, a report found that travelers who promote ‘Flying Naked’ trend believe that this also reduces any decision making tiredness during travel. According to a 2024 global travel study, 35% of young travelers admitted that they now prefer to travel with only carry-on or personal bags. At the same time, some airlines in the US and Europe are now also offering “light-Troll incentives”-like early boarding or free seat upgrade. That is, now light travel is not only considered to be a symbol of style and smartness. In our country too, this trend is becoming very fast.
