One way to whittle down the long hours on a plane is by joining the Mile High Club.
What is the Mile High Club?
It’s not the same as the Frequent Flier Club. The Mile High Club is a term used to describe people who have engaged in sexual activity while up in mid-flight, either with strangers or travel companions.
Pros of joining the Mile High Club
- Makes the flight more enjoyable and keeps you occupied when the movies get boring
- Can meet new people
- Can boast to whoever will listen afterwards that you’re in the Club
Cons of joining the Mile High Club
- If you’re in the bathroom, it’s a bit cramped and you’ll keep people waiting outside
- Some flight turbulence could ruin everything
- Might be awkward when you return to your seat
Famous Mile High Club members
- Actor Ralph Fiennes
- Richard Branson
- Janet Jackson
- Countless others
Can I join?
Yes, there is an actual Mile High Club that you can join and share your stories. Or take a Mile High Club charter!

Although the idea of the Mile High Club sounds interesting, I don’t think I will join anytime soon. Apart from the uncomfortable surrounding and cramped bathroom, I don’t see the fun in it. In these times people get grounded for less and who wants to pay the bill for a plane diverted to another airport or else. But then – maybe I’m just too conservative or simply more into relaxed, comfortable sex then just a quickie in an actually ‘forbidden’ area. But hey – we live in a free world. So everyone should do how one please.

True, you don’t want to get into trouble and it’s easier to just listen to your iPod or have a nap.

I’m not a member and don’t plan to become one. I spend as little time as I can in those bathrooms because they just seem yucky dirty to me.
Do you think the mile high club will ever convert to metric?

Flying with children will definitely ensure that you never get to join the club.
I sure would like for Ralph Fiennes to initiate me, though.
