Mile high club - How does airlines manage it?

[LionKing]

Please delete this thread if it is offensive.

I have been thinking, with the introduction of more Premium cabins, such as The Residence, First Class Apartments, Suites etc., and Double Bed Business Class cabins with doors closed, whether there would lead to more incidents of passengers joining mile high club?

Moreover, I wonder whether there has ever been intimate behaviour in First Class lounges with enclosed shower rooms available for multiple people use at the same time?

Do airlines tolerate it? How would airlines prevent/manage it?

Thank you.

Shower suites… undoubtedly! Think the Cathay cabanas for example. No way the airline would know what you get up to, nor would they likely care.

As for the ‘fully enclosed suites’… that’s a bit of a myth. Doors/walls/partitions generally don’t go up very high, meaning pax and crew walking in the aisle can easily see over the top. For those that are a little higher, the doors or walls generally have some sort of lattice or louvres which you can see through from the aisle.

The only exception I can think of wouod be air france’s curtains which are true ceiling-to-floor, and it’s possible - just maybe - that if you were in the two centre seats you could get up to something. But given the pax mix in those cabins, theyre probably not the target market for the mile high club!

I think it’s fair to say that type of activity is discouraged by the airlines. And if you try to do it somewhere like the WCs I expect a knock on the door, Althygn full mark for even attempting it!

Maybe you should consult with Ralph Fiennes from a QF perspective….?

That was a story...and whilst offensive the Footy Show cough showed how far the story reached

Didn't a certain investor and part owner in airlines and other enterprises all with the same trademark admit he joined the mile high club in an airplane loo.

“The British entrepreneur said it was "every man's dream", adding that he had to wipe handprints off the toilet mirror following the high-flying high jinks.”

Talk about... How did you manage to read my bucket list....

I think if you travel in the Residence, you’d almost obliged to do it! Every single person you spoke to afterwards would be like….”Welllll….?”

Difficult to qualify the original way.. with one of you flying the aircraft!

We flew from Abu Dhabi to Singapore in The Residence last May.
When the FA gave us a tour of the three rooms, she pointed out the seat belt over the double bed.
She said that, in case of turbulence, the crew would check that it was fastened.
There were two options: they could knock on the door and ask us; or they could open the cover on a small window and peek in to check.
We chose the first option: you can draw your own conclusions about our motives.

I can also confirm that CX had absolutely no idea what went on in the Cabana Bath Sites.

Given that passengers managed to join the 6 or 7 mile high club whilst traveling in economy, I doubt that they'd have much issue up front. As for the airlines they won't care as long as nobody else knows.

I read some disturbing stories recently of males and females in J and economy joining the club alone!

I don't think that's a thing. It's joint membership or nothing.

Seems to be popular on US airlines. Some while watching inappropriate movies on seat tv unit. LOTFAP

By the way is there extra recognition for having risked the death penalty to join the mile high club?

Partner not happy then?

Partner not happy then?

Considering that we bought rings together in Singapore straight afterwards, the evidence suggests he was quite happy with the flight.
I was referring to the fact that an Etihad flight is subject to the laws of Abu Dhabi.
Where they would quite happily stone us both to death, or throw us off a tall building.

Getting a little off topic now.

Not sure how I can be off topic when I seem to be the only member of the club.
