HOUSTON (Reuters) - On Naked-Air, seatbelts aren't the only things coming off once the pilot switches off the sign.

Passengers aboard a May 3 chartered flight from Miami to Cancun, Mexico, dubbed "Naked-Air," 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.

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

But those thinking about engaging in monkey business on the trip are warned: "Inappropriate behavior is not condoned for this nude flight."

Seats aboard the chartered Boeing 727-200 jet are reserved for the first 170 passengers, and the destination is an all-inclusive "Nude Week" vacation at the El Dorado Resort & Spa in Cancun.

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.

Among the activities planned for Nude Week are "Caesar's Rampage/Toga night, a special "castaway" night ala Tom Hanks' movie, Karaoke night, PJ night, body painting plus lots more fun themes and games," the web site promises.

Given the incredibly strict airport security that is now the rule in the U.S., passengers aboard "Naked-Air" should have it a bit easier -- none are likely to be carrying too much in their luggage.

Inappropriate behavior is not condoned for this nude flight

I thought for sure this was from the Onion!

I had 3 great comments, but I am too much of a lady to add any of them.

That isn't the word that came to my mind. My first thought was why would anyone be interested unless the plane was full of male/female gorgeous models or something. I think the human body is great but I also think some folks are a lot better looking than others. Getting on a plane full of a bunch of "average" looking folks with their clothes off makes me shudder. Also, let me make it clear I wouldn't be on the plane with a bunch of models either...but it would be less torture.

How can I know for sure that some nudie on that flight didn't turn his/her towel over at some point during the flight?

Why would I want to sit in that seat? Since I don't know for sure who turned their towel over, I don't want to sit in ANY seat.

Blechhhhhhh.

[areafiftyone]

Will someone please tell Bubba about this? He really shouldn't be left out in the cold. ;-)

[NittanyLion]

I won't mention any jokes involving locking things in the full upright position.

[newgeezer]

As one who relies in part on the air travel industry to put food on the table, ...

Oh well, this element is going to get their jollies somewhere. So, it might just as well be in the air.

[Hatteras]

Naked Air?

What was the marketing department thinking?

My vote would have been for "Derri-Air"

[biblewonk]

I was just reading this one when you decided to ping me. Certain kinds of minds think alike.

[South40]

How disgusting!

Skid marks on the upholstry is inevitable.

Sorry.

[areafiftyone]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH you are bad!!

[Veggie Todd]

Please wait until we've reached cruising altitude before operating any electical devices.

[El Sordo]

I would certainly hope they have a high surcharge for overweight passengers.
