Love in the air - Germans most likely to flirt, Swedes most likely to have sex
It's the most romantic time of the year - which means companies are releasing all kinds of love related news and surveys. The latest comes from British Airways, who did a quick interview of European travelers, and how often they flirt with their fellow passengers.
According to the survey, Germans are the most likely to try and hit on you in the sky, followed by the Swiss.
The "passionate" Italians are all the way down in 6th place. At the bottom of the list are the Dutch and Belgians.
To spice things up a little, British Airways also asked passengers if they belong to the Mile High Club.
The results are quite surprising - 7% of Swedes claim they have joined the club, followed by 5% of Norwegians and 5% of the Dutch passengers who participated in the survey.
Once again, the Belgians painted a pretty bleak picture of their country, by coming last with just 1%.
Of course, these numbers could also be the complete opposite, and the results might mean that 7% of Swedes lie about having sex.
So, lets have our own little survey, and see whether Gadling readers are kinkier than the Swedes (or that we can lie more than they did!)
| Yes | |
|---|---|
| No | |
| Yes (but I'm lying) | |
| No, but I hope to join soon! |

Which of these ladies got busted for "loving in the air"?

I'm a geezer. Does being an octogenarian give me extra points? What if I boink another octogenarian? One hundred sixty years of pookie dookie at 5280 feet should set some sort of record.

I banged Madonna on a flight L.A. to Maui. While she was sleeping on the way back, I banged the co-pilot.

So if you live in Denver, Co when you get lucky are you a member of the Mile High club?????

Actually the Norwegians are more likely to do it, but the Swedes are more likely to lie about it.

Another ridiculous survey. How can you verify what is true? What's the incentive? It probably means that the Swedes are more likely to brag about things that never happened.

I have been a member of the Mile High Club for more than 30 years. From commerical to private, single engine to multi, plane to helicoptor, and all in between.
I was given my Mile High Wings by a pair of stewardress's on a red eye flight back in the late 60's. They were softies for a young man in military uniform coming back from overseas...
That memory will forever be etched in my mind. As the song goes, "Thanks for the memories"...

Having done some flying, I'm just wondering about how much of a contortionist you have to be to even be able to do anything in those narrow seats, let alone the bathrooms!

I've never understood the attraction. I've had sex in some outrageous places. Why do you think stockings and garter belts will never go out of popularity? Of course, panyhose are out of fashion now anyway so it doesn't matter. theres nothing quite like appearing to be fully dressed when you bend over a carosel horse slightly and..... Anyway, I'm not a prude by far but a public restroom with bacteria from other people's feces and urine floating around is not high on my list. Not to mention a room that is so small it would be impossible to actually have an orgasm unless you stand there and do yourself. I have to be totally desperate before I'll even use the itty bitty room for it's intended use. I've learned amazing control on linternational flights.

I joined the club in 1950 in the back seat of a Greyhound Bus over the Continental divide in Colorado
traveling from Tindal Air Force base to Caldwell Idaho.

I am a pilot, and Florida is five hours at 200 MPH
Could you think of a better way to spend those hours while monitoring the traffic at all times?

If someone beats your meat at 30000 feet is it high jacking?

You gotta be kidding me! Sex in the bathrooms? They're so small you have to come back out in the isle just to pull your pants back up!

Once again, Gadling shrinks to a new low. Why don't you stick to decent travel news. Some of us come here for interesting stories, not garbage like this. Are you writers even monitored at all? Some of you spew such trash.
