Ah, the airport tray trend. Love it or hate it, it’s where travellers turn the mundane process of unloading their pockets into a full-on art form. Picture this: the sterile, grey tray—typically home to your sweaty (comfy) shoes and overstuffed wallet, becomes the canvas for the ultimate airport fashion statement. People arrange their items into meticulously symmetrical displays. It’s as if someone finally looked at the chaotic scramble of modern air travel and thought, “Yes, this is an Instagrammable moment.” So, next time you’re at security, ditch the panic and curate your tray, because who knew a plastic, grey tray could become the next big thing in travel aesthetics? PS: Just don’t hold the lineup—if possible.
