Did she mile-high it or didn’t she? A Qantas Airlines flight attendant was suspended after an alleged in-air tryst with actor Ralph Fiennes.
From her lips:
“Whilst conversing with Mr. Fiennes … during my break I expressed a need to go to the toilet,” she wrote in a statement to her Qantas bosses (via Australia’s Daily Telegraph). [...]
From the Mile High Club news wire:
A California couple are facing federal charges after allegedly refusing to stop “overt sexual activity” on a flight to Raleigh, North Carolina.
I don’t know who’s more at fault here: Southwest Airlines, the Raleigh airport police, or the couple. According to the article, the couple got rude with the [...]
This piece of news lands right in the heart of awesome … my only worry is will soaring gas prices kill this sport? Heck no, this is America. It’s NASCAR in the sky, it’s rocket racing. The exhibition event launches October of next year, and they say the sport league will start for reals in [...]
From the wire: New Company Launches With Aim of Colonizing Mars (after Sept. 26 use this link, because yahoo’s will be busted). No joke. They think they can get people up there by 2025 … though, judging by this quote from their leader (and the fact they live in Florida), they might be more than a little crazy.

Hey, in case you didn’t know, Flight Club is an online community for air travelers. Flight Club (the parent of this blog) has online tools that help members meet other members on airplanes and in airports — basically, we’re fun people that make travel more exciting. Business travelers, recreational travelers, if you fly for fun or for work, if you fly just once a year, Flight Club has a spot for you.
Membership is booming, so if you haven’t thought about joining before, then now is a good time. Registration takes about a minute and you can do it at this page. It’s free, it’s a fun site, uh huh oh yeah.

I hate to see the good name of the Mile High Club smutted with references to cell phone use. The MHC is for people who have the courage and the kahunas to get it on in-flight.
This writer isn’t as enthusiastic about the prospect of double beds in first class travel as I am. She thinks it flies in the face of public decency. I think people ought to be given a choice, and considering the wealth of airline options available, heck, it’s no big deal.
