When a flight lasts for too long and starts getting more and more boring, some passengers actually decide to have some fun by joining the mile high club. However, according to a flight attendant who’s been in the job for too long not to witness all sort of things passengers come up with in order to kill boredom, all that bathroom-door jiggling doesn’t happen as often as you’d think.
In her book Cabin Fever: The Sizzling Secrets of a Virgin Air Hostess, flight attendant Mandy Smith goes into details about many aspects of working on a plane, including how often passengers try to hook up.
“I would say one in twenty or thirty flights,” she said. “Not really that often.”
Writing how the crew acts in such awkward situations, Smith explained that they simply knock on the toilet’s door and ask them to stop doing what they are doing.
“It’s worse when you’ve got children on board and it’s in the daytime,” she said.
Sometimes, when the passengers are more discreet, the crew don’t even react in any way.
“If it’s on a night flight and they’re being discreet, I probably wouldn’t even interrupt them if I’m honest.”
She did note, though, that a friend had an uncomfortable incident involving a passenger determined to join the mile-high club.
“One of my friends had a situation where there was a young lady of 18 who was quite determined to join the mile high club, and she just grabbed anyone,” she said.
The flight attendant told her to return to her seat, but the girl wouldn’t listen.
“She sat back down in her seat, and then about half an hour later she was back up with another chap trying to join the mile high club again,” Smith explained.
“My friend said she went to speak to her parents, because she was actually travelling with her mom and dad.
“She was only 18 bless her, she didn’t do it again.”
