Skyscanner reveals the top ten places for a naked holiday

 

With news of airlines raising their baggage charges this summer by as much as GBP 40 per flight, many holidaymakers are considering anything they can do to beat the baggage charge; enter the “Nakation”.

 

The ultimate way to pack light, naked holidays are becoming a real consideration with a recent poll showing that 2% of Skyscanner have booked a nakation, just to avoid paying hefty baggage charges!

 

With no bulky clothes, packing for a naked holiday is simple. Just remember ample supplies of sun block! Cheap flights comparison site Skyscanner.net reveals the top places to strip off.

 

Naked sauna – Kotiharju, Helsinki, Finland
