Sex on a Plane: Only $299

If you've ever fantasized about joining the infamous mile high club, fantasy could become reality much faster than you think. An Atlanta-based company called Mile High Atlanta now offers couples the opportunity to travel into the skies for a romantic getaway — complete with a custom-fit bed, brand new sheets and a complimentary bottle of Champagne.

The founder, corporate pilot Bob Smith, says he and his business partner conceived the idea five years ago as a way to make some extra money on weekends. He has piloted more than 75 flights, with couples from all parts of the country paying $299 an hour for a roll in the sheets at more than 5,000 feet.

Historically, joining the mile high club refers to having intercourse more than a mile off the ground, says Gloria G. Brame, a clinical sex therapist in Atlanta. It's been reported that the founding member of the mile high club is Lawrence Sperry, the inventor of the autopilot (who, ironically, crashed while engaging in sexual activity with a woman while he was flying). Brame says many people find it fun and exciting to have sex in places that are prohibited.

"Having sex on airplanes has been around for almost as long as flights have existed," she says.

[RSmithOpt]

OK. How much for 1/2 day on the ISS or the shuttle? (ISS=International Space Station).

"$299 an hour for a roll in the sheets"

How much for two and a half minutes?

How much for two and a half minutes?

You'd better wear a parachute then, you may have a premature ejection problem.

It doesn't sound too prohibited if they're providing beds.

Airplanes smell bad, too.

It's cheaper on Ryanair: The no foreplay airline!

"...Clean sheets provided..."

That is better than hotels: A friend of mine that owns a couple of hotels: He says that hotel sheets must be changed daily, but if roomservice is lazy...well, you get to sleep in another person's bed (with everything they did mixed in). Further, hotel covers and blankets should be changed and cleaned every six months (most hotels change yearly/some fleabag hotels rarely change blankets--EVER). Pillows are usually changed every year at better-brand hotels but in the cheap hotels, it depends on the franchise owner.

Think about that the next time you travel. I always stay at hotels that are rated highest by the franchise (Usually only top 5-10% of all franchises receive award after thorough investigation). Never base your stay on AAA or price.
