News, but not the serious kind

Bare in the air, if you dare…

Sometimes I hear a new idea and all I can do is see flaws. We have a story about this travel agency offering a $735 airplane flight for nudists who want to fly buck naked to a Baltic Sea resort. But read the fine print.

You can’t strip until you board, and you must dress again before you get off, which sounds like lots of work for a short flight on a small plane. And you may want to consider hazards like snapping your seatbelt buckle and getting certain exposed body parts caught in your tray table.

And, what about when the flight attendant hands you a full cup of steaming coffee just as you hit some turbulence?

About the only thing I can think of on the positive side is, you can be pretty darned sure the other passengers don’t have a gun hidden anywhere. These days, maybe that’s enough…

Good for them. If the business model works then I hope they succeed!

As liberal as I am - it’s not for me… And I even have 6 pack abs.

Dear Nude Passenger,

Firstly, this is by no means a new concept. I attempted this on a long haul flight back from the Philippines to the UK in 1971.

I simply undressed and sat in my seat, very naked and very aroused. It was possibly the most pleasant and exhilarating experience of my life. Particularly as I received the most wonderful stares from the beautiful oriental air stewardess thereafter.

It rounded off a perfect trip from Bangkok. I would like to consider myself a trend-setter and as always, the rest of the world is thirty years behind me.

Yours thoroughly ahead of his time,

If I ever do this, just remember how cold it is at altitude.

Coffee, tea or Right Guard? Coffee, tea or Right Guard? Here you are, madam. Coffee, tea or Right Guard?

Does no-one see the hazards here?! Think about getting Mr. Happy caught in that bathroom door!
