Naked flight makes maiden journey
The first naked flight has carried 87 passengers from Miami, Florida to Cancun in Mexico. The Castaways travel agency, which specialises in clothing-optional getaways, offered the trip to the El Dorado Resort & Spa for Nude Week for £310.
At cruising altitude, the passengers stripped off, but the captain and crew didn't.
| "Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you glad to see me? Oh. You don't have a pocket. It's not a banana. You are glad to see me!" |
Hot coffee, tea and sexual antics were all banned, but at least the plane's cabin had climate control, reports the Miami Herald.
| "Mildred! You look so sexy wearing nothing but goose bumps!" |
Castaways co-owner Donna Daniels said: "These are professionals who lead very stressful lives and are ready to let it all go. They are adventurers and risk takers. They don't even want clothes as a constraint. ''
| "Lookitdat, Harvey! She opens her mouth and you can see light!" |
Naked travel is the fastest-growing segment of the business, said Daniels. ''After 9/11, I didn't have any cancellations. Even after war broke out, we didn't have any cancellations on this trip. People feel safe on a flight like this."
| I think it was Ken Layne who first suggested this as an appropriate security measure, about a week after 9-11... |
