As my Uzbek team mates already know and none of the rest of you want to know, I am quite comfortable with nudity. Yet, I’m not sure how I feel about public nudity.

For example, I had no problem in the girl’s locker room in high school with public showers. I figure, we’ve all got it so what’s the big deal? But one of my most embarrassing high school moments was when my shirt got stuck on the cafeteria table and, when I pulled the table up from the middle to fold it together, my shirt went straight up with the table. Of course, the table latched and I was in the middle of the cafeteria, my shirt over my head, hanging there until someone could help me.

So, while comfortable in certain situations, other situations I am not comfortable with. One of them that I am quite sure would make me feel uncomfortable is flying naked. Imagine boarding the plane, taking off all your clothes, and sitting down. Once grounding at the destination, you put your clothes back on and deplane. Really? What is the point?

I guess if you are the naked flying type of person, you might be excited to know that you can. But you have to fly from Erfurt, Germany to Usedom on July 5th. According to Reuters.com, it will cost about $735. Check it out:

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – German nudists will be able to start their holidays early by stripping off on the plane if they take up a new offer from an eastern German travel firm.

Travel agency OssiUrlaub.de said it would start taking bookings from Friday for a trial nudist day trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom, planned for July 5 and costing 499 euros ($735).

“It’s expensive, I know,” managing director Enrico Hess told Reuters by phone. “It’s because the plane’s very small. There’s no real reason why a flight in which one flies naked should be more expensive than any other.”

The 55 passengers will have to remain clothed until they board, and dress before disembarking, said Hess. The crew will remain clothed throughout the flight for safety reasons.

“I wish I could say we thought of it ourselves but the idea came from a customer,” Hess told Reuters by phone. “It’s an unusual gap in the market.”

Naturism, or “free body culture” (FKK) as it is known in Germany, was banned by the Nazis but blossomed again after the Second World War, particularly in eastern Germany.

“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.”
