Raw Dogging Flights Trend Explained

Raw dogging is a trend that involves people doing absolutely nothing on a flight. This means that people ditch the usual in-flight entertainment—using the phone, sleeping, watching shows or films, reading books, having a drink, eating, going through the in-flight magazine or doing anything—to just stare at a screen showing the map or just be lost in one’s own musings and thoughts. The trend is quite popular in the west. While the infamous slang term rawdogging refers to unprotected sex, in air travel, it refers to boarding a flight without the usual comforts and preparations that most travellers usually cannot travel without. Many influencers, especially men, have been taking up the challenge on long-haul flights. Recently, even Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland was spotted taking part in the challenge and raw dogging a flight. According to reports, health experts have warned that sleep, food and entertainment are essentials, especially on long flights; hence, this trend could be dangerous, especially for people with anxiety. In addition, not eating, sleeping or drinking water for long hours could result in serious health issues or even death, especially because the cabin air can already be very dehydrating. Netizens have rubbished the trend, with mostsaying its dumb.

How Dumb!

According to mental health experts, there needs to be a balance between a few quiet moments and staying occupied. While a digital detox and doing absolutely nothing on a one-hour flight may be fine, the same cannot be said for a flight that is as long as 4 hours or more. Some may find the challenge to be a mindful and meditative and helps them focus on their thoughts, however, it could be hard for others. It is best not to try this trend on long flights.
