Tiktok Trend - My Name Is (...) And I Booked The Flight - April 2025

The “My name is (…) and I booked the flight” trend started popping off in April 2025 and quickly became a viral favorite on TikTok and Instagram Reels.

It’s short, funny, and super relatable — especially for couples or friends who always fall into the “planner vs. passenger” roles during a trip or big event.

If your content is about lifestyle, relationships, travel or even just having fun with your partner or bestie, this trend is a perfect way to show it off.

What’s this trend all about?

This trend follows a simple structure: Person A introduces themselves and says a task they did (like booking the flight, hotel, or restaurant). Then Person B just says their name, without claiming they did anything. That’s the joke.

The pattern repeats a few times, showing how Person A did all the planning… while Person B just enjoyed the ride. It’s lighthearted, repetitive, and super funny — especially when Person B looks awkward or guilty in the last shot.

What kind of videos people are making

Example 1: A guy lists all the things he did (booked the flight, rented the car, etc.), while the other guy just says his name each time.
Example 2: A woman proudly names all the things she handled for the trip, while her partner quietly smiles and says, “My name is…”
Example 3: A blonde woman explains all the planning she did, and her travel buddy adds nothing but his name — every single time.

Want to use it? Here’s the step-by-step

Pick two people with a clear dynamic: one planner, one passenger.
Choose a shared experience (like a trip, party, or big event).
List 3–5 tasks the planner handled (flights, hotels, reservations, etc.).
Film in different spots that match the task: airport, car, hotel room, restaurant, etc.
Each time, have Person A say: “My name is [Name], and I [did the task].”
Then cut to Person B saying: “My name is [Name].” (No task, just the name.)
In the last scene, Person B can hold their look longer, smile awkwardly, or shrug a little — it’s the punchline.
Add text overlays matching the dialogue, and use a trending background sound (optional but helps reach more people).

When it works best (and why)

This trend hits hardest when it feels real and funny — especially when people see their own relationship dynamic in the video.

The tasks are clear and believable (like planning travel or events).
Person B plays it subtly — small smile, shrug, or “oops” face.
The setting looks nice: airports, hotels, restaurants, or just a clean background.
The video is short, well-paced, and keeps the viewer interested until the last line.
The caption invites people to tag someone (“This is so us 😂” or “Every trip we take lol”).

When it doesn’t work (and why)

Here’s what to avoid if you want your version to land:

The tasks are too vague or unrealistic — it breaks the relatable vibe.
The reactions are over-acted — keep it subtle and believable.
The shots are hard to follow, too dark, or noisy.
The pacing is slow — you want the jokes to land fast, especially in short-form videos.
Too many repetitions — stick to 3–5 task segments max to keep it punchy.

This trend is easy to film and super fun to do — and it’s perfect if you want to show a cute, funny side of your relationship or friendship. Whether you're the planner or the tag-along, people are going to relate.
