Try flying the the premium cabins on LH - Germans have a much more laid back attitude to nudity than Brits!

In Germany and the German speaking part of Switzerland nude bathing, saunas etc are common. There's a "beach" on the Rhine in Basel where you can sunbathe in the nude if you wish. It's quite popular. Although not easily visible from the bank as you walk past, it's very visible when you're in the river, which we often are in the summer.

So ... it's a cultural difference where many people just don't see their naked body as something to be kept private. However, as a Brit, I've not used the naked beach and do look out of curiosity each time I swim/float past in the river.

As for this particular topic, I've never flown F so the dilemma hasn't occurred. I'd probably take the pyjamas as a souvenir and sleep in my jogging pants and loose fitting t-shirt that I boarded in. That's what I do in Y or CW. Unless there's a shower on board I can't find the point in changing.

It's public transport, not a private hotel room. I keep my privates clothed the same way as I would do riding on a train or a bus! But that's just me!

I always thought that, too, until after my first First and I realized how much less grimy I felt not sleeping in my street clothes for a 10 hour flight. Now I always bring my own sleepwear and change.

You're right however I used to do that more when flying in long haul economy than a premium cabin. Those far too many GLA-BHX-CDG-EZE and reverse slogs in Y still give me nightmares.

Maybe he wanted them laundered??

Lots of European countries are more relaxed about nudity. Barcelona has some nude beaches (such as Mar Bella) that are right in between other beaches, easy to get to, with lifeguards, first aid, toilets, two beach cafes (one called chiringuito BeGay), an indoors restaurant, a childrens play area, and most of it within easy view of (being just off) the walking/riding path. People wash off the sand and seawater nude at showers next to the main walking/riding path). Even at beaches not designated as nude, people are casual about stripping naked to change.

I've been to several gyms in German cities and was a bit amused that signs require wearing bathing suits in the pool and on the pool deck, but demand nudity in the sauna area (including walkways, decks, steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, etc.), which is mixed gender. In Munich people widely go naked in the main park and along the river. I admit I was a bit surprised when I rounded a corner and came onto a 250lb German man grilling sausages for his family in the park.

So I suppose it's reasonable no one would think it unusual to change naked at one's seat, or to take offense at it.

I enjoyed the film and the song and the sentiments of the lyrics run with the PJs for me...
