If you are a German nudist there's a holiday flight just for you on July 5. The flight from Erfurt to the Baltic Sea resort town of Usedom will cost $734 (499 euros). It may be a little bit pricey but you can fly naked and not be thought of as a deviant.
will be able to shed their coverings after they board the plane and not have to dress until they leave the flight. The staff though have to remain in their uniforms for safety reasons.
The flight for 55 is being booked by the travel agency OssiUrlaub.de and does admit that it's a bit more costly than other flights. This is due to the fact that they are having to use a smaller plane.
Managing director Enrico Hess says that the idea for the flight didn't come from his company but rather a client.
"It's an unusual gap in the market."
There is a very strong nudist culture in Germany where it's called "free body culture" or FKK. During the time of the Nazis it was banned but it has been quite active since the end of the Second World War.
"There are FKK hotels where you can go into the restaurants and shops naked, for example," Hess said. "For FKK fans -- not that I'm one of them -- it's nothing unusual."
"I don't want people to get the wrong idea. It's not that we're starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that," he added. "We're a perfectly normal holiday company."
