View Full Version : Travelling to a nudist event

I will shortly be travelling from London to the South of France to take part in a "clothes free" event.

In keeping with my life philosophy, I plan to be naked for as much of the journey as possible.

Should I disrobe before clearing security, or would it be advisable to wait until boarding the aircraft before removing my clothes? I am not sure on BAA's policy on conducting searches of naked passengers.

As a naturist, who has travelled to many a nude beach holiday ... I can say that I travel in the mental state of my approaching destination but not the physical as the draughts are just too uncomfortable. :p

Welcome aboard nudeflyer, as first posts go - that probably takes the trophy - or the clothes as the case may be ... If you are simply trolling in the wee small hours (I'm working!) then you may find your welcome here to be as warm as you hope the beach will be. :}

Start as you mean to go on, travel to the airport naked and then pass security in that condition, you won't have to worry about taking your shoes or belt off.

Just remember to wash before you go.

I see no practical reason why I could not travel naked, and I intend to be a pioneer of this modus operandi.

Of course, I am fully aware of textile sensibilities, but I'm sure my fellow passengers could simply avert their eyes during this short flight.

On a practical note, a small bumbag should suffice to carry my passport, and indeed to cover my "fleshy flagpole" (as Mum used to call it) at the most important moment.

Hopefully you won't be reading about me in the news!

Dimly recall from law school days that it's a public order offence; if you tried it in the terminal you'd be carted off by airport police and probably be arrested.

Of course, it would be quite interesting to see how the cabin crew would handle it if you waited until airborne before disrobing... (I am, of course, not encouraging this).:=

I could just imagine someone walking through airport security naked wearing nothing but a bumbag. Just makes me think of some of the stuff the guys do on jackass. (not calling you a jackass by the way. lol just the name of the program).

But on a serious note would the airport even allow you to walk through security naked? Im certain theres going to be set policies or laws on it, maybe clearing it with the airport first might be a good idea.

he shed his attire in the plane toilets and stepped out into the cabin – presumably to the unbridled delight of other passengers and crew, as he was arrested upon arrival at Edinburgh airport after refusing to resume his togs during the remainder of the flight. Gough was charged with breach of the peace and public indecency and so made yet another appearance in Edinburgh Sheriff Court on 19 May,

I firmly believe it is my right to travel as god made me.

If people can tolerate a screaming scrote of a kid for a couple of hours, I don't see why the sight of my bare body should offend anyone.

It is time for people to get their principles out of the stone age.

You might believe it's your right but it's also people's right not to sit next to a naked man or woman if they so wish, on a full aeroplane it's not as if they have a lot of choice where they sit.

You can and will offend somebody, somewhere and you will make someone feel uncomfortable. Are you that selfish for the sake of a few hours?

However, the bottom line is you won't be allowed to travel in the buff.

Nudist traveller, stone age clothing was mainly made form animal skins and bits of bone to fasten it together, so what are you saying about stone age principles?

How many people have you seen wearing animal skins on flights recently (no tailored varieties allowed.)

Nudists...lots of them on naked bike ride across London earlier this year, however astonished at the number of folks that HIRED a Boris Bike and didn't use a towel to sit on.

That was an eye opener, slightly creepy that
1) Most were not attractive and my eyes bled for days afterwards
2) Some had very young kids wearing next to nothing along with them....felt seedy, that did.

Hence not really thinking an aluminium tube miles in the sky is the best place for something provocative like nudity with kids around.

Of course the bum bag would need to go through the x-ray at security. Presumably they will let you hang onto your passport or boarding pass. Would they be big enough if you don't mind me asking?

Of course you can be reasonably sure that, if you got that far, CC would treat the matter with a certain sense of humour (although probably a cruel rather than a sympathetic one).

Airport security, on the other hand, would be likely to suffer complete sense of humour failure. Then again "failure" implies something that was serviceable to begin with so let's skim over that one.

I feel it would be OK to allow my manhood to hang free for the purposes of security. At least it cannot be said I am hiding any contraband.

In terms of cleanliness, I intend to bring my own "nude sheet" which I shall be draping over my seat.

nudefyer - you are probably the finest Troll we have seen here for many moons.

SOE I know it can seem strange that people of all shapes and sizes are happy to take their clothes off, and do so when possible, but it's called life. The great thing about naturism is that we all accept each other for how we are without criticism.

I realise that it can seem strange that children and young people can be happy to be naturist - but it happens like that all over the world. It helps them to not be concerned about their body image as dictated by the media.

What about taking a screaming baby on board? Is that not selfish?

Lord Spandex Masher
25th Aug 2011, 19:50
If you take up two seats you pay for two. So, no.

Sometimes it is necessary for parents to avoid leaving their babies at home on their own. I'm sure you understand the reasons why. I am also sure that they don't make their babies scream intentionally. So, no.

Is it really necessary for you to fly for a couple of hours without clothes on? No, it isn't.

You intentionally want to make people feel uncomfortable, despite being aware of their sensibilities, just because you can, no other reason. Instead you could travel like everyone else to your nudist event where you can then parade around proudly, wearing as little as you like, for as long as you like.

Compromise or don't travel.

Rather than displaying what you have "down under" you might want to consider travelling "down under," where you might find a more favourable response. Maybe even an enlightened airline, where the Chief Executive Officer (masquerading as a baggage handler) joins in with the theme.

Woman in strop strip for Bermuda airport customs


A 36-year-old woman faced with a customs search at Bermuda's LF Wade International Airport rather brilliantly responded by instantly shedding her clothes (http://www.royalgazette.com/article/20110823/NEWS03/708239997) and telling officers: “If you want to see me naked, you can do it right :mad: here.”

Loukai Phillips, a Bermudian native now living abroad, had just flown in from London on 19 August to close her bank account, but had to schedule in an appearance before magistrates on a "indecent exposure in a public place" rap following her protest strip.


Her lawyer, Charles Richardson, explained to the court that because of an unspecified "past association", his client had been strip-searched every time she faced customs operatives.

He admitted it was "an impetuous decision", but said Phillips "took her clothes off out of frustration".
Phillips told airport cops: "I would never do it again, I'm just tired of being searched."
Prosecutors demanded a fine as punishment for the outrage, since "children had been present and Phillips had repeatedly used bad language while removing her clothes".
Magistrates, however, simply slapped her with a 12-month conditional discharge, noting: "If you don’t want to be searched, don't come through customs." ®

Nudeflyer don't listen to these guys.

Most Pomgolians don't like nuding up because most of them think that soap is a type of opera and that a shower is when it rains a little bit! :} :} :}

Get on the internet, google "how to have a shower" and follow the instructions. Then your bod will be nicely scrubbed and fresh for your trip :ok:

I'd suggest that you don't disrobe at check-in. As pointed out by other (more experienced) travellers here, check-in girls/guys can get "a bit funny" when you take your clothes off (I don't know why either :confused:)

Take your clothes off just before going through security. That way you can put them into your daypack and you should pass through the scanner first time! From what I understand the security guards at most English airports are very open minded and flexible with the "rules" when screening passengers going through their screening points. You might be bending the rules a bit but they'll just wave you through! :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok:

And if there's any problem, just say "No, it's okay. I was told the correct procedure on an anonymous internet forum". :cool: :cool:

As we begin to consider replacing full nudity with minimialist clothing - posing pouch, jock strap - one wonders what is the least clothing (in terms of surface area of the body covered) which would allow one to travel without problems from the authorities or airline. On certain airlines heading south, one has occasionally seen ladies who from their attire seem to assume that they are going to be on the beach five minutes after touchdown....(or in bed, perhaps).

Well I have now formulated my "au naturel" travel plan.

I shall remain clothed during check-in, to avoid the inevitable "interest" from airport security.

However, once airborne, I shall disrobe in the toilets, and return to my seat.

To avoid unwitting brushing my chubby chipolata over my fellow passengers when I get up, I shall procure a posing pouch, perhaps in the colour of the airline concerned.

This is about demonstrating that naturists the world over have nothing to fear from practising their favoured activity in a much wider variety of situations.

However, once airborne, I shall disrobe in the toilets, and return to my seat.

When the cabin crew, under the captains authority, ask you to put your clothes back on, which they will, what are you going to do then? I will tell you that ignoring or not following lawful commands of the crew and captain is illegal and dangerous and you will be in contravention of the Air Navigation Order.

This is about demonstrating that naturists the world over have nothing to fear from practising their favoured activity in a much wider variety of situations.

Except that you are demonstrating your fear by remaining clothed during the check in process. You're compromising your philosophy old son.

Do you really think that you will be somehow 'protected' once you are airborne?

Be prepared to either return to your point of departure and be met by the police or be prepared to arrive at your destination and be met by the police.

Nudeflyer, you do come across as "not functioning at the upper level".
Listen to what these folks on here tell you; it is NOT ok to do any of the things you described. Wanna go all "naturist", go hug a tree before you get to the airport.
And for God's sake, keep your clothes ON! Not only the cabin crew will not be impressed and as Nicholas49 suggests, the a/c will most likely divert to the nearest airport to have your naked a$$ arrested and you WILL pay for the diversion costs, but think, for one second, that you are not the only pax in that cabin. There will be, let's say, 200 more pax traveling and amongst them, young children. Just think about it...

If not, I'm looking forward to read about your "naturist experience" in a ridiculous "newspaper" (as ridiculous as your "idea"), such as The Sun or whatever they call it.

I swear to God the world is going to hell... :ugh:

Once you have done it you have have a mass debate about it!

The law, actually.

Which law?

Indecent exposure only applies if the person "exposing" themself did so to cause offence.

Simply being naked is not an offence in itself.

I think the clue is in the first line of the first post.
I will shortly be travelling from London to the South of France to take part in a "clothes free" event.
The "event" by definition being something that happens at a specific venue, occaision or point in time. Outside of the "event" it doesn't follow that the behaviour, dress (or lack of it) would be acceptable or lawful. For example you might be travelling to a clinic in the South of France (or elsewhere) for the purpose of satisfying your "life philosphy" of being a sperm doner. However it really wouldn't follow that you could indulge that passion, in public, whilst travelling en-route!

As steeplechases go, nudity is one fraught with many obstacles, entaglement likely to cause much embarrasment, pain and distress, and therefore best avoided.

Cloaks are useful for preserving modesty, and the cloak of an anonymous username on a forum such as this, is clearly one that even an established "member" can acquire to protect their perceived dignity and reputation. As steeplechases go, I think this particular horse has run it's course.

Good luck with your trip, and be sure to let us know how go got on (or didn't as the case may be.) Be Nice, and keep those body parts that would otherwise be Toulouse safely encumbered. Remember that the "fleshy flagpole" that Marsailles under, Cannes cause embarassment to others, and a flight of less than 2 hours isn't Toulon to keep yourself properly robed. I wouldn't want you to end up as a perpignan..der police cells. ;)

Which law?

No law, your point was that you weren't allowed to be discriminated against based on you desire to be a flasher, in the same way that people aren't allowed to be discriminated against based on race or disability.

In fact, while there are laws to prevent racial and disability discrimination there are no laws to prevent descrimination against perverted old men (see what I did there?).

Indecent exposure only applies if the person "exposing" themself did so to cause offence.And yet the threshold for indecency is very low, essentially a single person on the aircraft would have to object for it to become indecent exposure. If you don't cover up immediately when this is brought to your attention then, to refer to my earlier statement, Enjoy Prison.

Now if you were a proper naturist, rather than a rubbish troll, you'd know this.

Nudeflyer: you seem quite certain of your rights and your opinion on this matter so I am a bit confused as to why you are even asking our opinions, unless you are a stirrer or troll as the internet chaps would call you. But if you are so certain of your right to wander around in the all together why are you concerned about when to disrobe? Why not put your money where your mouth is, and leave home in your birthday suit, take the bus tot he tube, and hop of at the appropriate stop at Hatton Cross or the terminal of your airline's choice? If you haven't worked out the etiquette by then you might just get away with it! I know that LHR security use rubber gloves, but I wouldn't bet my salary on the French being quite so accommodating! You'll probably get a prod in the rump with a fresh baton form the patisserie, and rude but firm invitation to return yourself across La Manche! Whatever you do, put a digital compact in your bum bag, and send us some photos (waist up please), or shall we just keep an eye on The Current Bun for naked air traveller stories? Happy holiday you complete fruit cake!

Well from Naked Air some excerpts that should answer this trolls questions

Once the media departed, remaining passengers boarded and the flight departed the gate on time at 1 PM, with everyone fully clothed.

Extra space was allowed so each couple had an empty seat between them to avoid crowding on the Boeing 737.

Once the captain announced landing procedures for Cancun, the clothes came back on and all buckled up again. The path of flight was clear over the Gulf of Mexico from Miami to Cancun with smooth air all the way.

So in a nutshell you cannot force your privates on those who are not willing participants. In this case the people at the airport and in your aircraft. So wait a while before you get to the resort and feel the sand between your cheeks and the wind on your flag!

It's all very well for you to indulge your preference, but have some sympathy for the next pax to occupy that seat and having to deal with potential 'skid marks'!!

Potential skid marks I can deal with, it's the real ones that would make me sit elsewhere !

Nudeflyer you've admitted you're a bloke - please be properly
attired if you ever travel on my aircraft, or I'll have yer pecker
duly chained to the galley oven with the setting on HIGH.

However of your wife and/or GF has a nice rack and to-die-for
bum I'll permit them to wander around the cabin unhindered.
Jump seat travel can be organised if there's any complaint or
stink about it by the Purser or pax. :E

And from the lofty heights of narrative joy expressed so eloquently in the last post it is clear that this thread has finally scaled the mountain of eloquence to reach the nirvana peak of literary perfection.

With nowhere left to climb to, it seems reasonable that we should close the thread, and allow it to live in our collective memories for ever.
