From passport photos to scenic window shots, there are many ways to capture your flying experience, but have you heard of “airport tray aesthetics”? This is the latest rising travel craze that many flyers swear by, but what’s it all about and should you give it a shot?
“Airport tray aesthetics” is all about taking photos of the items inside your airport tray – and we’re not talking about the mess we all usually make when going through the security checkpoint. This trend suggests carefully arranging some of the items you’re flying with inside your bin, as a way of capturing the spirit of your next destination.
We’ve seen many people on TikTok and Instagram receive thousands of views and likes after sharing aesthetic photos of their airport bins, filled with designer purses, headphones, sneakers, sunglasses, watches, and everything in between, but this trend also raised many eyebrows after sparking concerns it’s making the process of going through airport security even more hectic.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) addressed this new craze, saying “As long as the staged glamour photos are not causing delays or issues with other passengers in the checkpoint, there are no issues.” If you decide to take them, plan your shot in advance, and only take the photos once you’ve gone through security, to avoid disturbing other passengers who are in the rush to reach their flight.
