Couple Face Consequences For Joining Mile High Club On Packed Flight
A “randy” couple faces fines and community service for deciding that a packed EasyJet flight was the perfect opportunity to join the mile high club.
Couple Faces Fines + Community Service For Trying To Join Mile High Club On Packed EasyJet Flight
I suppose it is one thing to join the mile high club in first class with the suite door closed or in a lavatory, but in a packed economy class with children nearby is quite another matter. Yet Bradley Smith, 22, and Antonia Sullivan, 20, pictured above, could not wait or even retreat to a lavatory on a packed EasyJet flight from Tenerife (TFS) to Bristol (BRS).
According to witnesses, Smith told Sullivan to “wank me off” during the flight. Sullivan then put two jackets over Smith and did exactly that…
But the couple was not so discreet. Instead, passengers complained to flight attendants about the “vigorous hand movements” under the jacket and a mother and daughter sitting behind the couple reported that the jackets slipped off at one point, leaving nothing to the imagination.
When confronted, Sullivan said she was merely rubbing Smith’s leg…
But authorities were called and the couple were detained upon landing in Bristol. Now the pair have had their day in court, pleaded guilty to public indecency, and been sentenced.
Judge Lynne Matthews excoriated them:
“You had no regard for the feelings of other passengers. There was a child sitting behind you who was able to see what was happening! Who do you think you are and what right do you think entitled you to behave in that way in full view of people on that flight?”
But in what seems like a slap on the wrist, the couple escaped with only a light fine (£100/passenger who witnessed them in the act) and community service (300 hours for Smith, 270 for Sullivan).
CONCLUSION
You’d think it would be self-evident, but you don’t want to join the mile high club on a packed flight in economy class under some blankets or jackets. One couple may have gotten off with a slap on the wrist, but they now have criminal records…come on, that wasn’t worth it now, was it?
