On July 5, the first special flight that will allow passengers to fly in their birthday suit, naked that is, will take off from Erfurt in Southeast Germany to its destination in the island of Usedom off Baltic Sea.

"All the passengers will fly naked, but they are only allowed to undress once they are in the plane. But then they will be able to enjoy the hour-long flight in the way God intended," Enrico Hess, the founder of the travel company OssiUrlaub, has been quoted as saying.

According to Hess, they want to give people 'freedom' even 'above the clouds'-one of which is to travel au naturelle. "In the former East Germany, naturist holidays were a much-loved way of spending the best weeks of the year," said Hess.

Tickets for the 'nude flights', with only 50 seats available, cost 499 euros ($735).
