German Airline Gives New Meaning to “Budget” Travel

Up, up and away!
A German airline is now providing a trial flight for nudists. The 55 passengers will have to leave all their clothes on before they board, and dress again before they disembark. Also, the crew will remain clothed for safety reasons which are as yet unclear.
In an exclusive for The News Conduit, we contacted managing director Enrico Hess for a follow-up interview, in which he discussed some safety concerns that many held about the flight. “A lot of people have asked what happens if there is an incident in the air, such as the engines failing over the ocean. They don’t know whether they should put their lifejackets on, and whether lifejackets will even be supplied on the nudist flight.”
A valid concern, but this reporter can’t help but be intrigued by the possibility of not having to worry about spilling food and beverages on your clothes during turbulence.

So would they be offering other types of protection?

@Psy – Well, it depends on the type of protection that you think they should be offering. Although I’ve heard that giant jumping castles can be good.

Would the lavatories have doors?

@Meep – Of course they would! Just because they’re nudists, doesn’t mean they’re barbarians!
