Mile-High Club
What is the Mile High Club?

By Susan Breslow Sardone, About.com

The Mile High Club is not an official club. Originally a joke between flight attendants and pilots, the Mile High Club now refers to anyone who has had sexual intercourse in an airplane flying at least one mile high (5,280 feet).

Couples determined to achieve membership in the Mile High Club have been known to repair to the plane's lavatory, dive under seat blankets, and even rendezvous in an unattended galley during long flights.

Obviously, any couple intent on joining the Mile High Club should observe all safety precautions and crew instructions before soaring into ecstasy.

Couples who insist on privacy for their initiation in the Mile High Club may be able to hire an independent pilot of a small plane (where the cockpit is separate from the cabin) to fly them around mile-high for a short period for around a thousand dollars.
