(Newser) – To tout its distaste for hidden fees, Air New Zealand is mounting a tasteful display—of nudity. The airline's new commercial features employees wearing nothing but body paint, the Boston Globe reports. The campaign, called “Nothing to Hide,” touts the now-antiquated practice of providing meals and not charging for baggage. But the ad doesn't mention the airline’s singles-only flights from LA to Auckland, which include pre- and post-boarding parties.
