members of the notorious Mile High Club or would like to be a member,
a survey showed Monday.
Asked if they would consider a mid-air sexual encounter, almost half
of 1,110 people surveyed wanted an adventure, while 12 percent already
had mile-high membership wings.
"People are obviously looking for more stimulating entertainment than
a movie or a CD when traveling by plane," Totaltravel.com global
marketing manager Paul Fisher said.
A flight attendant for Australia's flag carrier Qantas was sacked last
year after claiming to have had a tryst with actor Ralph Fiennes in a
business class lavatory during a flight from Darwin to Mumbai.
Singapore Airlines last November asked passengers on its new super
jumbo Airbus A380 aircraft, which had its maiden commercial flight
from Singapore to Sydney, not to seek Mile High Club membership in
first class cabins, which boast a double bed.
Fisher, whose company carried out the survey, said joining the Mile
High Club was easier these days in a super jumbo, but urged travelers
to be mindful of others within close cabin earshot if gripped by "Mile
High madness."
