The results of research by Total Travel released yesterday say that almost 60% of Australians are either members or want to join the ‘mile-high club’, with, in case you don’t know, membership is gained by having sex on an aircraft.
Asked whether they would consider making love at altitude, almost half of the 1,110 surveyed by a travel website said they would but had not yet satisfied their desire to engage in a sky-high encounter.
Twelve percent said they were already a member of the club which includes British actor Ralph Fiennes who last year grabbed headlines with his sex romp with a female Qantas air hostess in a business class toilet cubicle.
The airline later sacked the woman over the encounter she had described in a lurid confession to the British press as a “10 out of 10” experience.
The company behind the survey, totaltravel.com, said Australian travellers were more daring than expected, with Total Travel Global Marketing Manager Paul Fisher adding, “People are obviously looking for more stimulating entertainment than a movie or a CD when travelling by plane.”
“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.”
Forty-two percent of those questioned, however, said the prospect of getting hot and sweaty in a cramped and potentially stinky aircraft toilet was no turn on.
