Flight attendants share realities of the mile high club

Mandy Smith, a former Virgin Atlantic flight attendant, revealed the truth about attempts to join the mile high club during a recent YouTube Q&A with LadBible. She explained that airline staff are well aware of these incidents, which occur on around one in every 20 to 30 flights. Flight attendants observe passenger behavior heading to or using lavatories, and if caught in intimate acts, they have the authority to remove the toilet door, even if it is locked. Smith noted that while staff might overlook these activities on late-night flights without children, daytime flights with families have a different standard. Legal expert Norm Pattis added that such acts could lead to criminal charges, especially if done in a public setting.
