KEY POINTS:
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 yesterday.
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.
Tickets cost ¬499 ($948) and there are just 50 seats on board the jet. Passengers will fly naked, but they are only allowed to undress once they are in the plane. The pilot and the flight attendants will keep their clothes on.
