Nude flights take off in Germany
German holidaymakers will be able to indulge their love of
naturism by taking to the skies nude on special flights being
launched this year, a travel company said today.
“In the former East Germany, naturist holidays were a much-loved
way of spending the best weeks of the year,” said the founder of
OssiUrlaub.de, Enrico Hess.
“We want to make that freedom possible above the clouds
too.”
The flights are aimed specifically at former East Germans,
nicknamed “Ossis” in German, who feel nostalgic for the naturism
that was authorised and extremely popular under communist rule.
The first nude flights will be a day-trip on July 5 between
Erfurt in southeast Germany and the Baltic Sea island of Usedom,
which is fringed by white sand beaches.
Tickets cost E499 ($A838) and there are just 50 seats on board
the jet.
“All the passengers will fly naked, but they are only allowed to
undress once they are in the plane. But then they will be able to
enjoy the hour-long flight in the way God intended,” Hess said.
The pilot and the flight attendants will however keep their
clothes on.
