- On the Jan. 5 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa said she refuses to wear a bra on airplanes and noted she wears one on air only to clip her microphone.
- The conversation covered viral travel behaviors, with Ripa criticizing “raw-dogging” as sitting through flights without any entertainment.
- “Naked flying” was clarified as boarding with no luggage, and Ripa said she hopes to try it with just her phone, wallet and lip balm as Consuelos recalled flying with only a backpack.
- Thrillist’s taxonomy outlines three versions of the practice: “totally bare,” “pocket people,” and “delivery crew,” the last involving shipping bags ahead.
- USA TODAY reported that flying nude would likely be illegal and at odds with DOT guidance, as Consuelos kept the tone playful by joking that travelers still need support.
