Celebrities may have more opportunities than most to join the famous Mile High Club, and it turns out even some of the world's biggest stars have admitted to doing exactly that.
For many people, becoming a member of the Mile High Club, having sex while on an aircraft, has become something of an adult rite of passage.
Whether it's with a partner you're travelling with or someone you happen to meet during the flight, the idea has long fascinated passengers despite airline staff insisting it's far harder to pull off than people think.
The challenge is often due to the fact that there is a lack of privacy, especially on commercial flights, where cramped airplane bathrooms and regular cabin checks make intimate meetings both difficult and risky.
That's why wealthier travelers flying on private jets may have a much easier time when it comes to coital exchanges, due to fewer rules.
Among those who have openly discussed joining the club are Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber. During an appearance on Bieber's podcast Who's in My Bathroom? in 2023, Kardashian brought up the topic directly.
“Have you ever joined the mile-high club?” Kardashian asked.
“Yes,” Bieber immediately replied, prompting Kardashian to respond: “Samesies.”
Bieber then joked: “I was gonna say, I don’t even need to ask you that.”
Pretending to be offended, Kardashian replied: “Why? Why do you not need to ask me that?”
“You own a plane,” Bieber explained.
Laughing, Kardashian responded: “I thought you were just saying, like, ‘Of course - you’re a w***e.’”
Neither star revealed specific details about when the encounters took place, but the exchange quickly went viral among fans.
While both women are now mothers, the conversation highlighted how private jet travel can make the achievement significantly easier than it would be for the average passenger.
For most people, limited space, lack of privacy, and airline security measures make joining the club much more difficult.
Flight attendant Grace Hampson recently addressed the topic, saying: “People trying to join the mile high club aren't a total myth but... it doesn't happen often like people think.”
She added that “increased security and regular cabin patrolling make it near on impossible.”
So while the Mile High Club continues to capture people's imagination, airline staff say it's far less common on commercial flights than movies and pop culture might suggest.
