Valentine's Idea: Join the Mile High Club!
If the idea of getting freaky while you're miles in the air turns you on, then maybe chartering a flight should be on your short list of things to do for Valentine's. Surprisingly (or not), a small but growing market for people wanting to get their high-altitude lovin' on has emerged recently. Featuring comfy, private spaces -- big enough for rolling around but small enough for two (give or take) -- charter flights for people wanting to join the mile high club have sprung up all over. For example:
- In Georgia, Mile High Atlanta charges $299 for an hour-long flight in a Piper Cherokee Six. In addition to private time, participants get to swig from a complimentary bottle of champagne and "keep your sheets as a souvenir of this special event." For that kind of money, laundry services should be included.
-
In the UK, Mile High Flights launches from Gloucestershire on a twin-engined Piper Aztec. After receiving champagne and strawberries, couples board their private love jet and cruise a mile in the sky. Prices range from £250 for a "Quickie" (30 minutes), and go up to £750 for a "VIP" (90 minutes). Upon conclusion, participants get a certificate. What? No sheets!?

Don't like tiny planes? Maybe you have several girlfriends? Chicago's classily-named Boomboom Plane has a 20-seat jet available for charter. You get what you pay for, I guess, as the Boomboom Plane goes for $1000/hour.
-
Mile High AZ ("We're just plane naughty!") charges $600 for 90 minutes -- after you pay the $150 annual due.
-
Cincinnati's Flamingo Air offers 1-hour flights, a private curtained cabin, champagne, chocolates and "one very discreet pilot" for $299.
Afraid of heights? Drop me an email and I'll drive you around South Florida for $100/hour!

If ya live in Colorado Springs who needs an airplane to make love while a mile high? Here we'd have to dig a 1,000 foot hole and cuddle at the botton of it to be merely at a mile high.
Silly

What next??? This is truly ridiculous. It's pretty sad when people have nothing better to do with their time or their money!!!
Get a life!!!

We are a sick society. Valentine's idea?
I suggest the Mile Low Club for all these morons. Dig a ditch one mile deep and let them have at it down there or just go up to the Grand Canyon and crawl around in the muck.

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy - guess no one's every asked you to join the club
Sara Feb 11th 2007 3:40PM
Anyone who says "get a life" to this is obviously not getting any. And if they are, sad to say, it's probably not worth it. A good cheesecake would be better for them. Personally, if someone wants to do that to add a bit of romantic spice to their life, I say go for it. Would you rather have these people spicing up their love lives in the mall food court?

rbjllj Feb 11th 2007 3:45PM
Hey if people want to do that and they aren't hurting anybody I say go for it.
Tim Feb 11th 2007 3:43PM
Big Bad Boy, I imagine you are correct that Cindy has never been asked, or has never had the opportunity to join the mile high club. Seems to me that she is one frigid woman. Joining the mile high club is getting a life, don't you agree? Tim

Hey if people want to do that and they aren't hurting anybody I say go for it. It's their money and if they want to add a little spice to their life....why not?

You know it's a wild and kinky idea when the guy you're with really ought to be flying the plane....who are you to judge me??? A girl's gotta have a thrill once in a while!

Another indication of the failure of the U.S.A.
to grasp something significant to contribute to
the advancement of the country's worth. What
next? My house is at 7,500 feet elevation. No -
it's not for rent. . . .

The fun of the mile high club is the getting away with it. Whats the thrill of paying for it without the risk. This is for the people that want to live on the wild side but don't have it in themselves to risk it.

I joined the club about 10 yrs ago and it didn't cost me a penny! It wa about 300am on a flight to LasVagus from Chi town, I couldn't sleep and had to use the john. So when I got inside I heard this knock on the door and upon opening it this stuward was standing there and asked if I need any help. I sad that I may and in he stepped. It was crowded but he done me good and also himself. So @%#^& paying all that money for something you can get for nothing! I know! I was in the right place at the right time. Duey

Get a life? I think this would qualify as getting a life.. maybe you need to get laid. Sounds pretty good to me!

Amazingly....the pilots that fly the chartered MHC Flights....are obviously not embarrassed! Why is this any different than paying for a motel room, or having sex while you're on a cruise? It's all places you've PAID for... What's the problem? Seems to me you need to get yourself a FREAK and live life a little! It's allllll good!!
Meech Feb 11th 2007 6:38PM
This is absolutely SICK - These people have NO Morals - What about embarrassing the pilot who has to fly them a mile high to have sex. Rotten, self-centered, immoral bums - I hope the plane crashes with everyone of them. Better Never catch two people going in the bathroom while I am on a plane - I will pound on the freakin door till they come out - The stewardess better not allow this on regular flights or they should be fired. These no good pigs - do they think it is cute? Mental retards - Filthy animals.
cindy Feb 11th 2007 4:13PM
Sara, Tim, Big Bad Boy....been there and done ALL that so Sara and Tim, don't assume I'm not getting any, on the contrary. The way I see it, if you have to spend big bucks to get laid in an airplane than your sex life on the ground must really suck!!
ooops.....gotta run, need to slip into my thigh highs and grab the whipped cream....toodaloo to you neanderthals..look it up Sara!
