Cool

How come all the hotties seem to be in coach? I luv flying 1st so I just have to watch them walk by--with the occasional eye contact.

That said, even if Adonis himself were in coach I wouldn't move back.

Amen to that. Because if you did, 5 minutes later you'd probably find Adonis making out with Hercules, and then you'd have to pay for your drinks to forget the pain. No thanks. Sitting in first next to the trolls with free drinks is fine by me!

You see a decent number on ATL-NYC, particularly ATL-EWR. Not world-beating numbers, but that route gets its share of traffic, especially on certain weekends.

HKG-BKK also sees a lot of GGG traffic, especially on certain weekends.

I would say you'll see the highest proportions on routes into cities where there's a gay event happening: Palm Springs at Easter, New Orleans at Halloween, New York at Pride, BOS-Ptown during summer....

Worldwide, for regular traffic excluding events, I would guess BKK- DPS, HKT or CNX as no.1.

In North America I would guess NYC- YUL, SFO or MIA.

In Europe my guess would be LON- AMS, PRG or LPA.

Oh, don't get me started on that Hercules manwhore!

To reply to the original posters question---there are usually some male couples on KLM 612 ORD/AMS and KLM 611 return. ALso ORD/FLL & MIA.

Maybe because they used their upgrades going to Mardi Gras with their boyfriends??

Yes, well the hot and young often do not have the money or time to travel to the extent of building miles/points for upgrades. I don't recall ever having a hottie sitting next to me in F (although I have had a few hot FAs). But I will tell you one thing I often see a lot of hot straight men in F. There was one recently on a SNA/ORD AA flight next to me (although he kept rambling on about his golf game.)

Given we are unlikely to sit with hotties in the front, what is the most effective (and efficient) way to chat up a hottie at the back of the plane without sitting there??

Alternatively, how best to convert a straight hottie sitting next to you in F or C?

This morning, anyway, it's ATL-BOS. At least 6 of 14 in F on DL morning flight are GGG, and a whole parade of queens did the walk of shame to the back. Judging by the chatter and the one I know from the gym, most of these girls are headed to P-town. So this afternoon, that route'll be chocka. Even the beefcake in the cockpit jump seat looks like family. And I, I've been mistaken for an aisle.

In my experience, it's definitely ORD-PSP during the White Party.

Why wait for the flight? You can start at the gate while waiting to board. Then once in the plane you could buy him a drink to be sent back to Y.

I also think that some travelers have the time and money for F but like to spend their money on the vacation hotel, dinners, and events rather then a large part of their budget on the F or C seat.
