Have you ever raw-dogged on a flight? No. Not that.

Raw-dogging is the latest trend and trial of frequent flyers, who see themselves as challenged pilgrims almost. It’s the art of doing simply nothing in the air and abstaining from onboard entertainment, no book, no phone, no music. Nothing but gazing out the window and being with one's thoughts. A concept older generations may perceive as just a regular day.

Joan Scales is a travel writer and broadcaster and joins Seán to discuss the trend.
