Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

This is an example of kenopsia, not a liminal space.

For me this is the best feeling. Being the first on an empty plane is like peeling the film off a yet untouched phone screen.

I always loved to chill and stay last to get off the plane just for this exact view, with a pillow or blanket here and there — something was so strange about it, yet so calming.

E195 E2 with Porter in Canada! Flew this Vancouver to Toronto a while back and while it was pretty tight, the two by two seating was a plus compared to three by three.
