Are you a member yet? Brits most likely to get frisky on a flight as UK tops 'mile high' chart ahead of the flirty French



British travellers are enjoying fun before the sun, according to a survey by leading travel search site Skyscanner.



Cabin crew from around the globe have spilled the beans and name Brits as the nation most likely to join the mile high club.



However, the survey of more than 700 cabin crew members has revealed that it's not only British flyers that are enjoying a bit of mischief while they are six miles high in the sky.



Australians, Germans, French and Brazilians make up the rest of the top five frisky flyer chart in the survey.

Cabin crew spilled the beans and name Brits as the nation most likely to join the mile high club

In the poll of over 1,000 travellers, 45% admitted to flirting whilst on board a flight, with a third leading to a rendezvous following the flight, and 8% of them resulting in a relationship.

For a small minority the flirtations may actually lead to membership of the infamous mile high club; a separate survey found that 20% of travellers have joined this risqué association and half of these had done so with a stranger they met on a flight.



Seen by many as one of the most glamorous and desirable jobs, cabin crew meet and greet people from all walks of life.

However, with nearly three million people sat in the sky every day, cabin crew also receive their fair share of chat-up lines and advances from passengers.

Three quarters say they have been asked out on a date by a passenger during a flight.



And clearly many a romance has blossomed in the air as 14% of those who report being asked on a date, accepted.

'Many of my friends have been on dates with passengers. In fact one of them married a frequent flyer'

Skyscanner's own former airhostess Karin Noble commented: 'People often become bored and restless during the flight, especially if they're travelling long haul so to ease the boredom, some do certainly try a bit of in-flight entertainment of their own and our survey shows that it is the Brits who go the extra mile!

'Although it also seems that many travellers are looking for a bit of romance as they jet off on holiday.

'Over the years, so many of my friends have been on dates with passengers.



'In fact one of them actually got married to a frequent flyer they got to know on a regular commuter route between Edinburgh and London.



'So singletons flying away at Valentines may find that their flight is the start of something more.'
