Aussies dream of joining the Mile High Club
SYDNEY – Sixty per cent of Aussie travellers are either members of the infamous Mile High Club or would like to become a member, according to a new survey.
Travel website totaltravel.com asked 1110 people over four weeks whether they would consider a midair sexual romp.
Almost half said they would love a sky-high adventure, but had not yet earned their wings.
Twelve per cent said they were already fully-fledged members, AAP reported.
The remaining 42 per cent said cramped and smelly toilets were not their style.
Totaltravel.com global marketing manager Paul Fisher said Australian travellers were more adventurous than he had expected.
“People are obviously looking for more stimulating entertainment than a movie or a CD when travelling by plane,” he said.
“Mind you, with the advent of the new A380 super jumbos, some boasting configurations with full-sized standalone beds, earning one’s stripes is a lot easier than it once was.”
But he urged travellers to be mindful of their fellow passengers if gripped by “Mile High madness”.
PS: Famous mile-high club members are Sir Richard Branson and actor Ralph Fiennes.
