Keep your Hands To Yourself On the Airbus A380

Filed under: Wings

It would seem that the Airbus A380 doubledecker jumbo jet, with its 12 first-class cabins with double beds would be built for romantic activity but Singapore Airlines, the first operator of the new Airbus A380, is intent on banning the nookie. Reuters reports that the carrier will ask passengers to refrain from doing what might come naturally in this romantic setting. The cabins are not sound proofed and as you can see in the picture above, they are not completely sealed off. The airline does not want to cause offense to other customers or the crew. Considering how many people join the mile-high club under far less comfortable conditions, I wonder how big a deterrent a simple request is going to be. I suspect that as long as the participants are quiet and discreet, there will still be quite a bit of action taking place in those first-class suites.

Risk-Free Ways To Join The Mile-High Club

Here's a bit of a risque idea for a Valentine's Day adventure, how about a mile-high club flight? The Observer has a story on England's first mile-high club service, which takes off from an airfield in Gloucestershire on a twin-engined Piper Aztec, outfitted for two. Couples can arrange for a "quickie" flight which is 30 minutes up to a "VIP" flight which lasts 90 minutes. After your flight you get a certificate ( would you really want to hang that on your wall?). Prices start from £250 for a 'Quickie' (30 minutes), and go up to £750 for a 'VIP' (an impressive 90 minutes). Discretion is promised and at the end you get a certificate. The service is due to start later this year.

Here in the States you can find a variety of similar services. A website devoted to the mile-high club lists companies that offer these types of flights and there are whole businesses such as Mile High Atlanta dedicated to helping couples reach their goal.
