The latest travel trend involves adopting a minimalist approach while on flights, commonly referred to as “raw-dogging” the journey. This trend involves avoiding all forms of entertainment or engagement, such as movies, music, books, or even snacks, and instead, simply sitting and staring ahead.

This blend of mindfulness and AI could redefine how we perceive in-flight experiences, providing a balance between mental relaxation and cognitive engagement.
