Mile High Club inductions

According to enthusiasts, the Mile High Club (MHC) started in 1914 when flier and autopilot inventor Lawrence Sperry crashed his plane into the water while flying over Babylon, New York. Cause of crash? Sex on the plane. He and his erm… lady friend survived and since then daring flyers have joined or attempted to join the club whose only requirement is that you make whoopee at least 1 609m in the sky. (Sky scrapers don’t count). Here at GoTravel24.com we can think of more exciting ways of getting it on, but if you must, here’s our list of things to consider before joining:

Not in public…

Doing it on the seats is not a very good idea as you are more likely to get caught. The tiny blankets do not offer enough cover. And it’s just not worth getting caught. According to Salon.com a South African couple had to be chastised by the captain after they “disrobed from the waist down and began having sex in full view of other passengers.” The toilets, cramped and tiny as they may be, are the best option for these types of shenanigans. 

Stick to your own….

If you’re partnered up and yet notice an attractive stranger flirting, don’t do it. There might be tears and you might be left alone when both your real partner and the MHC partner bolt.

Hush up…

Whatever you do, don’t scream. It will attract the cabin crew who will knock on your door and ask what’s wrong. It’s a turn-on only if you’re into getting caught.

Don’t crowd it…

Anything more than a twosome is a little too much. Salon.com reports that a few years ago a South African Airways captain threatened to divert his jumbo jet because his passengers were involved in a growing orgy. Too much!
The jury’s still out on whether a solo-sexual experience qualifies for MHC induction.

Keep your virginity….

Take a ride on Virgin Atlantic Airways. Sir Richard Branson himself reportedly joined the MHC at 19. His airline once featured an ad starring Austin powers welcoming passengers to, ‘Virgin Shaglantic…Yeah baby.’ Branson has also said; “We’re not the type of airline that bangs on bathroom doors.” There you go.

Keep it easy…

Dress the part. If you and your partner would like to join the MHC consider wearing loose, comfortable clothing that won’t be too restrictive or take too long to undo once you’re in that cramped toilet space.

Loosen up…

Alcohol does help weaken inhibitions but don’t drink too much because you’re likely to underestimate the noises you’ll make. Remember if you get too bold your seats or the aisles might seem like a good idea but that just never goes well.

In the night…

Timing is key. Do it late at night when the lights are low, other passengers are asleep and discovery risk is minimal.

Careful…

In all the frenzy, make sure your knee or any other part of your body is not banging the emergency call button. The knock that will follow could be mortifying.

Not our fault…

There are a few things that might happen if you get caught. You might be offered champagne and congratulations by a laid back cabin crew.  Embarrassment from a severe warning is another possibility. A fine is harsh but likely. And if a child younger than 16 witnesses the act, your fun liaison might just become a criminal act.

Get adventurous with these  packages.
