A No-Frills Flight

On Naked-Air, a new charter air service, you're not really "dead and gone to heaven" -- it only seems that way, according to Reuters.

For example, passengers aboard a May 3 chartered flight from Miami to Cancun, Mexico, will be free to drop their pants, shed their bras and underwear and move about the cabin au naturel. Castaways Travel, a Houston-area travel agency that specializes in "clothing-optional trips," is offering what it bills as the world's first all-nude flight for $499, round-trip. The destination is an all-inclusive "Nude Week" vacation at the El Dorado Resort & Spa in Cancun.

"Once the aircraft reaches cruising altitude, you will be free to enjoy the flight clothes-free," the agency's web site says.

But no monkey business. "Inappropriate behavior is not condoned for this nude flight."

Castaways bills Nude Week as the first event of its kind to be held Mexico. Guests at the resort on the Caribbean coast will only have to cover up when they are in the hotel's restaurants and reception areas. The bars are fair game for the naked and the nude.
