Naked flight makes maiden journey
2003-05-05
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.
Cheap at half the price!
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...

#5  Somebody did say that this was one of the foolproof ways to stop hijackings.

#3   I'm guessing that this is not Virgin airlines.

#2  In a similar vein, there's an article on the Beeb about a real cop being mistaken for a stripper dressed as a cop that I was comtemplating posting.

This kind of stuff happens to me all the time, so I can relate ("Ladies! Ladies! For the last time, I'm an actual software developer! Ouch! Hey!").

#1  "Lookitdat, Harvey! She opens her mouth and you can see light!" Humm, very tasteful. Still, as a security measure, it would be efficient. somehow, I can't picture Aziz-and-Mamoud-the-jihadi-hijackers willing to board this plane (especially if they can see the light).
