First Nude Flight Leaves Miami Bound For Cancun
Organizers Say Trip Is First Of Its Kind

POSTED: 6:56 a.m. CDT May 5, 2003
UPDATED: 1:17 p.m. CDT May 5, 2003

MIAMI -- When the flight reached cruising altitude, 87 passengers took off more than their seat belts -- they removed their clothes.

The nude flight, billed by organizers as the first one of its kind, took off Saturday afternoon from Miami International Airport, headed for Cancun.

A Houston travel agency specializing in clothing-optional getaways organized the trip on a chartered Boeing 727. Passengers paid $499 for the trip, with many heading to Cancun's El Dorado Resort & Spa for Nude Week.

"These are professionals who lead very stressful lives and are ready to let it all go," said Donna Daniels, co-owner of the Castaways travel agency and an in-the-buff traveler on the inaugural flight. "They are adventurers and risk takers. They don't even want clothes as a constraint. "

There were limits, though. The captain and crew kept their clothes on. No hot coffee or tea was served for fear of spills. And no hanky-panky.

"This is not the Mile High Club," Daniels said.

Newlyweds Claudia Kellersch and Blair Brumley from San Diego met on a nude beach and recently wed in a naked ceremony. The flight was Kellersch's 50th birthday present to Brumley.

"Can you think of a more perfect, unique gift?" she asked.

Naked travel is the fastest-growing segment of Castaways' business, Daniels said.

"After 9/11, I didn't have any cancellations," she said. "Even after war broke out, we didn't have any cancellations on this trip. People feel safe on a flight like this."

When do they get naked? Wouldn't it be illegal to strip down in an airport?

"When the flight reached cruising altitude, 87 passengers took off more than their seat belts -- they removed their clothes."

anyway, we're members of a nudist club that paddles and camps nude on regional rivers and we've also attended some big national naturist events.

It's actually quite a different experience than non-nudists might imagine.
...no more sexual than daily life, actually.

but it's alot more honest feeling and also one feels very free from the silliest of social taboos...

Glory's Sun · 05-05-2003, 03:02 PM

sounds pretty kewl.. wonder what the crew thinks about it?

Emotion · 05-05-2003, 03:16 PM

im sure it was cleared with the crew a head of time

Atropos4 · 05-05-2003, 03:21 PM

Hopefully they sanitize seats after EVERY trip, if they do then more power to them.

JStrider · 05-05-2003, 03:42 PM

yah... definently need to make sure to clean the seats... that would be just about the crummiest way of getting an std...

Halx · 05-05-2003, 04:31 PM

Ok, i'm a perfectly functioning human being here, and I aint gonna lie - i've gotten boners on airplanes before. I've either been reading a book or just alone in my thoughs, but it has happened.

What would people think if I sprung one in an all-nude flight?

"Sir, what would you like to ... umm"

SeXuaLSoYBeaN · 05-05-2003, 04:49 PM

Hmm, sounds nice, but I can't go on it, because they don't allow minors ^^

Not a mile high club?!? Why bother?!?

snowace56 · 05-07-2003, 10:43 AM

The funniest thing ever, my friend Ben and I were sitting in Government class, and somehow Ben came up with the concept of having nude flight attendants to stop terrorism, because its aganist the Islamic ppls religion. In theory its a great idea, I mean I wouldn't object, to FEMALE nude attendants. But whats worse is he said this out in class infront of everything and then added we should allow ugly/fat women to fight in wars and move them to the front line. Imagine this guy running for politics.

GakFace · 05-07-2003, 10:57 AM

Thats pretty cool. I've always been curious about nudists.. Who knows if I'll ever try it out, I've got plenty of years left for that too. The plane sounds cool.. but it'd be pretty funny for an entire flight to just strip naked. "Alright folks, we've reach prime altitude, please feel free strip completely naked."

(eh, just for a cheap laugh...)
Five minutes later.. "And would you please look just above the video screen and wave as 'You're on Candid Camera'!"

hehe but yeah, thats pretty neat. As for what Hal said? Yeah that would be rather awkward, ya know if someone in the seat in from of you had the seat back and all... You'd run outta room. Try explaining that one to the flight attendant.

Troublebot · 05-07-2003, 11:58 AM

I just hope everyone brought towels.

Anyone read David Sedaris' essay "Naked?" It's about how he spent a week at a nudist resort in upstate New York. Very funny and very insightful. It goes along with what Art was saying above; this is not a sexual thing for serious nudists.

YELLOW450 · 05-07-2003, 12:06 PM

Wish i was on it, sounds like a lot of fun, gives a whole new meaning to the term "friendly skies".

Stilts · 05-08-2003, 05:45 AM

That would suck if all 87 of them were trying to take their clothes off at the same time, there's not shit for room on most airplanes.

Loki · 05-08-2003, 06:12 AM

well... on the bright side, you know that no-one is carrying concealed weapons

riptide4070 · 05-08-2003, 09:58 AM

I like the courage the nudists have. I also wouldn't mind being on a plane like that as long as there weren't too many ugly people.

Charlatan · 05-08-2003, 10:07 AM

The next natural step is Mile High flights... Air Hedonism...

raeanna74 · 05-08-2003, 12:30 PM

Once you made the step and try being a nudist you realize that those people around you who are nude too are going to be less critical of you than people in everyday life. I mean if they were to laugh at some scar or something you've got or even a hard on there is plenty of their body exposed that you could criticise. Once you see so many people naked at once you realize how different everyone's body is. There really isn't any comparison between one body and another. Each body is it's own work of art. I'm a woman and if I were on the flight and saw a guy get a boner I'd probably just admire it and think nothing critical. It's an exciting experience and so liberating. After trying it I tended to think of people - body types and all so differently. Much less critical. I was less critical of my own body too because I felt accepted as it was. I'm proud of my scars now - they show what I've been through and survived.

d4in · 05-14-2003, 02:40 PM

wait a minute...did SeXuaLSoYBeaN say minor....who let the minor in....

annie1 · 05-14-2003, 03:22 PM

i think, if im not mistaken that the airline provided some sort of seat cover that they had to put down first...

RedLevin · 09-13-2007, 06:55 PM

Nudists never go anywhere without their own towel to sit on.

I think its cool, but personally I can wait until I get to the beach. I don't need to be nude on the plane.

Grasshopper Green · 09-13-2007, 07:26 PM

All I can think of is the chafing.
