Plane fun on Virgin's double beds
Hordes of amorous passengers are clamouring to book the airline's new double beds
By Alfred Lee
Straits Times Europe Bureau
In London
AN AIRLINE which is introducing double beds on its planes has been swamped by hundreds of passengers eager to join the Mile High Club.
The latter refers to those who can claim to have made love flying high above the earth.
Ironically, the airline offering the opportunity is called Virgin.
While the so-called Mile High Clubbers have had to do it in toilets, or uncomfortably in their single seats during night-time flights, things will be a lot easier on Virgin flights.
The airline has reconfigured sections on four of its Boeing 747-400 wide-bodied aircraft to allow two single sleeper beds to be joined to make a 2m-long double bed.
The double beds are being introduced on flights between London and New York, and couples eager to cuddle, kiss and make love instead of watching a movie, sleeping or reading a book are already booking the beds.
Other Jumbos are also being converted and the 'love planes' will be flying on more long-haul routes later this year.
Virgin Airways boss Richard Branson said: 'You can do it at home, in a hotel, on cruise ships and on trains. Why not on an airliner?'
He added: 'It has been my dream for years to offer double beds to passengers.
'We have a lot of honeymoon couples, husband and wives who have been married for years and people planning to wed, who travel on our planes. There is no doubt that double beds will be very popular with them.'
Virgin's ticket staff will not check on the marital status of people booking the airline's double beds, company policy being: 'It is not our business what other people do.'
The double beds are in Zone B of the airliners, in part of the Upper Class section.
Cabin staff will curtain off the area and help convert the single beds into a double one, giving a space of 2 sq m.
Passengers will still be able to watch movies from the comfort of their big bed, which will have privacy shields.
Stewards and stewardesses will not bother couples unless they are making too much noise.
Double-bed booking costs vary according to how early the tickets are purchased; prices start at about £2,000 (S$6,000) per head.
Some critics say the double beds overstep the boundaries of decency and good taste.
Former British home secretary Ann Widdecombe, who is soon to become a BBC agony aunt, answering social problems for members of the public, said: 'I am against love-making on aircraft. There is a time and a place for everything. Other passengers might be offended by the antics of people making love.'
But Mr Steve Dawson, director of the Flight Passengers Society, said: 'As long as people using the double beds don't make too much noise, I think it is a good idea. My wife and I are already talking about making a booking.'
People have been eager to join the Mile High Club ever since the early days of aviation.
In 1916, dare-devil American pilot Lawrence Sperry had to crash-land his biplane while attempting to hit the heights of passion with wealthy socialite Waldo Polk.
Celebrities who admit to being Mile High Club members include model and Baywatch television actress Pamela Anderson.

I never realised how important a good bed was until I got a bad back�.
Over 1,400 members of BackCare, the national organisation for healthy backs, responded to our Back Your Bed survey - the first of its kind to explore the views on beds of those who suffer from bad backs and the experts who treat them.
SUMMARY OF THE BACK YOUR BED SURVEY RESULTS
Buying a good bed is one of the most important purchases you can make when it comes to back pain relief. Nine out of 10 say their bed is more important to them since they developed back pain; 98% agreed that a good, supportive bed could help a bad back. 82% of experts felt that the right bed could help prevent back pain.
"If you cannot rest properly and sleep well, this hinders recovery from back problems."
A firm, supportive bed, not a hard one, can do wonders to ease and even prevent bad backs. Only 22% of sufferers had bought a bed classed as �orthopaedic�; while 28% describe their bed support as �medium�. Only 6% of experts would recommend an orthopaedic bed to patients.
Three quarters would be prepared to spend more than �500 on a new bed: compared with just 36% of the �normal� population. Nearly one in 10 would pay more than �2,000 for a new bed to get the comfort and relief they need.
Back pain sufferers are twice as likely as the rest of the population to own a new bed - 50% have beds that are less than five years old compared to the national average of 24%.
88% are satisfied with their choice � but 16% said they would get a better quality one next time; while 9% would opt for something firmer; 5% said they would choose a softer bed and 4% wanted a bigger one.
Sufferers are three times more likely to replace their beds when they no longer feel comfortable (65% compared with just 20%).
31% own a king size bed compared with 11% generally. Separate mattresses zipped together are also popular with couples whose support needs differ or who are easily disturbed by their partner's movements. top
