After twelve epic months, 2024 is finally coming to an end, and it’s given us some pretty quirky travel trends along the way. From the chic “airport tray aesthetic” photos to the polarizing “rawdogging” trend, join us as we look back at some of the travel trends that got everyone talking this past year.
Seat Squatting
The term “seat squatters” was coined to describe travelers who take someone else’s seat after boarding the plane, and we’ve seen many TikTok users call out this bad behavior throughout 2024.
Rawdogging
The most polarizing travel trend of 2024, rawdogging was all about flying without doing anything but staring ahead for hours. This trend raised some eyebrows after flyers went beyond denouncing entertainment, and stopped eating and drinking during their flights.
Airport Tray Aesthetic
The most picture-perfect travel trend of 2024, the “airport tray aesthetic” was all about neatly arranging your travel essentials inside a TSA tray after going through airport security.
Flying Naked
A new term for traveling light, “flying naked” was all about hitting the road without any checked luggage, ideally with just a backpack.
Pillow Hack
“Pillow hack” has been around long since 2024, and its popularity didn’t fade away this year. It suggests you should stuff your travel pillow with clothes, but airlines are slowly getting wind of it and banning it on their flights.
