I thought you'd recognise that flight for some people 10 mins is enough.

I was a regular on this flight on Sunday evenings one time in the past, but not currently, but never done anything like this on a plane.

I must be a prude! I'd be pretty annoyed if people were getting it on whilst I was around. I don't really want to use a toilet and find some "hair gel"

If BA really enhanced BAEC based on customer feedback, I'd like them to to recognise and reward the entry of a member of the MHC. At least if it's from a OneWorld flight. 1000 TP's towards the lifetime gold status?

I don't see any issues with this. BA knows that customers want what is appropriate for the time of the day.

Joining the High Mile Club during a red eye appears to fit that requirement.

Not all disabilities are immediately visible. I'm sure disabled folk love being peered at by creepy, leering ("you lucky b...") people like yourself.
It is also possible that they were having sex. Don't be so self-important.

I can't think of a more glamorous route than NCL-LHR

But they clearly didn't know each other before and I really thought good for them. I found the situation really funny as I love observing people whilst sitting on a plane ( there isn't much else to do anyway)!
Wife: The IFE isn't working dear.
husband: really? I hadn't noticed.

Well one would be your own gender and the other what you're looking for. Based on the current lounge guesting thread.

Something that was never really lacking from my life, and now it's probably too late. Damn, damn, damn.

Is it allowed with women? Just checking.

I'm sure everyone on here checks their IFE as it's an easier source of free Avios than Tesco

I'm sure someone once posted the rules for the MHC on here, something along the lines of:

"Someone new, not in the loo and not with the crew..."
