What next, flying, naked bears?

Thu 09 Jan 2003

Flights of fancy?

A US travel agency that specialises in ‘clothing-optional vacations and cruises’ has chartered a plane to operate what it says will be the world’s first naked flight.
The flight, organised by Castaways Travel, will depart Miami on 3 May bound for Cancun. Most of the 170 passengers on the Boeing 727 will be heading to the El Dorado Resort & Spa for a week-long naturist holiday.
Passengers must wait until the flight is under way before they are allowed to undress, while the flight and cabin crew will remain clothed. The flight costs $499 return.
Several modifications will be made to accommodate the naturists. The cabin temperature will be kept warmer than usual, while no hot drinks will be served to avoid the potential for dangerous spillages.
Castaways reassures customers it is taking steps to ensure their privacy. ‘We are not identifying the flight times publicly and we are declining offers from TV and others to participate in or document the flight,’ the agency says on its website. ‘Inappropriate behavior is not condoned for this nude flight.’

Wonder if the cockpit door will stay locked for the duration of this flight! Depends on whether it is the Pensioners Chapter or the 18-30 Chapter of the Naturists group I suspect!!!
