Tables broken by ‘Mile High Club’
Amorous passengers — on Virgin, no less — force repairs
LONDON, Sept. 16 — Virgin Atlantic Airways is to replace tables in its newest planes because passengers have broken them during illicit trysts, the Sun newspaper said on Monday.
THE $200 MILLION Airbus A340-600, which was introduced several weeks ago, has a “mother and baby room” with a plastic table meant for changing diapers. But passengers have destroyed them by using them for love making.
“Those determined to join the Mile High Club will do so despite the lack of comforts,” a Virgin spokeswoman was quoted as saying.
“We don’t mind couples having a good time, but this is not something that we would encourage because of air regulations.”
