Naked Is The New Way To Fly

A German Travel agency has launched a ‘naked package’, where by customers can fly naked to their favourite nudist holiday resorts. Ossiurlaub.de aim to open up a new niche market, which will appeal to people’s desire to go ‘eau natural’.

The first destination takes off from Erfurt to the Baltic Sea resort of Usedom. The fares for these alternative flights are €499. This fare is more expensive than the mainstream flights, however managing director Enrico Hess has explained that the high cost is due the small size of the plane. However, as the market grows, the fares will become more and more reasonable.

This novel idea has previously been piloted by Naked Air in the U.SA, and proved to be highly successful as well as controversial. The company maintained the policy that ‘the only thing you wear is a seatbelt’. Whilst many take the Ossiurlaub.de venture with open arms, many critics feel that any complications in flying can cause more distress for passengers. If an emergency evacuation took place, the friction burns on the arms and the legs could be painstakingly sore. For safety reasons, the fifty five passengers will have to remain clothed during take off and dress before disembarking the plane. Despite the oddness and the raunchiness of its appeal, Mr. Hess stressed that it is a perfectly normal holiday company.

'I don't want people to get the wrong idea. It's not that we're starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that.'
