Nor do many see a demand.

For all the fuss the media's been making about this, the plane goes from Erfurt (better known to most of us as "where?&quot to Usedom (better known to the entire population of the world as "eh?", and to the three people who've ever been there as "that freezing place in the middle of the Baltic&quot.

And it costs €500 return - or about 750 of those Ameri-roubles they use in the US because they can't afford money any more. For which you can get about five Ryanair tickets to a nice Greek island.

Dunno about you, but I can walk round my bedroom in the nuddie for free. Can't see many takers to spend that kind of money in an uncomfortable cigar-tube going to some brass-monkey place in the middle of the world's most boring sea.

I just don't want to be on that flight when they say "please stow your personal belongings".

You know - the whole thought of this is really .....uh......disturbing... :-?

imagine - being on the aisle seat and having the perfect stranger in the window seat "squeeze" past you to get to the restroom

imagine - the "view" you get at eye level as people wander up and down the aisle

imagine - the person reaching up to the overhead storage above your seat

think I'll skip it..........

Extra barf bags and an eye mask, please. And maybe a breathing mask to filter the air. And Purell. Lots and lots of Purell. And alcohol. And drugs.

Besides, it always strikes me as quite chilly in planes.

The biggest joke is the fare. €500 for 550 kilometers? No way.

Grcxx3, that is very funny.

I have no problem with nudity, but not for me in that situation. I don't even like to see armpits on board a plane, and the standard is slipping so fast - the half-naked long ago invaded. Thankfully, it's a choice, not yet a rule. But think how fast the security line could be ...?

This is the first I've heard of this thing, and frankly I'm a bit shocked although I have been to several nudist resorts and beaches. I just didn't fly nude. Is this all just a joke?
