I find many travel hacks and trends dumb, but you won’t see me trying this one anytime soon. Raw-dogging on a flight means that you eschew in-flight entertainment, food, drinks, and even sleep while flying. Instead, passengers choose to stare at the in-flight map or at nothing at all for the duration of their flights.

The trend is dumb in my opinion. Why not indulge in watching a movie or having some ice cream at 35,000 feet? The New York Post reports that the trend is possibly based on Idris Elba’s character, Sam Nelson, on the Apple TV+ series “Hijacked.” In an episode of the show, Nelson is is forced to endure a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London without any amenities once his aircraft is taken over by criminals.

Some feel that they’re pushing themselves to their own mental best, but I think it’s more for bragging rights on social media.
Anthony’s Take: This travel trend will be short lived and I’ll laugh at you if I see you avoiding food, drinks, and doing anything else while in flight.

Seems a generational thing. Those who have been around a while remember when “raw dogging” was the only option aside from print material. For the youth, there may be allure to trying to learn/feel how it used to be. Could also be a fun way to build mental endurance. As always there’s definitely a strong element of seeking reactions on social media.
I think the idea is just nuts but if the alternative is some jerk yelling into their phone as you discussed recently, I’ll take the stupid fad every time and twice on Sunday.
