Introduction: Flying High
The Mile High Club is, for many, the stuff of legend, but Im here to
tell you that where theres a will, theres a way. Flying can bring
out so many of our insecurities, fears, and frustrations, that its
natural wed want to find a way to relieve all that tension by getting
it on. Indeed, several of the stories here deal with sex as a way to
conquer a fear of flying.
Just as I was completing this volume, I got a call from a friend who
told me that on the way back from a family vacation, he got it on with
a woman he ran into on the plane whom hed known, but never slept
with. They managed to have full-on intercourse (and much more) as the
rest of the passengers sleptæor so they thought! They found out later
that theyd been true exhibitionists, seen by horny voyeurs.
In these stories, characters are often surprised to find themselves
engaging in such risqué behavior midflight. The surprise and
naughtiness make whats happening even hotter. For others, its been
carefully orchestrated, such as the woman meeting her online pen pal
in 34B” or the one putting her arsenal of sex toys to good use in
Obedient.”
Other scenarios are more fanciful, and, unless youre really lucky,
are probably not going to happen to you. Part of the thrill of even
thinking about the mile high club is that in such close quarters,
someones bound to notice the movements, noises, and sensations of sex
happening near him or her. Voyeurism and exhibitionism are part and
parcel of sex on a plane, even if you never officially get caught.
Im sure you are probably picturing getting it on in a tiny airplane
bathroom, and yes, that happens here. But theres more than one way to
join the Mile High Club, as the Wild Child” in the story by Matt
Conklin learns when her kinky new friend asks for some extra ice. And
in Bermuda Triangle,” were introduced to a threesome that takes edge
play to new heights, as a man is blindfolded and instructed to fly,
his fear upping the ante for the novel sexual encounter about to take
place.
While this isnt a how-to manual, Im sure you can pick up a few tips
on the fine art of blanket placement and in-flight discretion from
these talented writers. Alas, during the numerous flights Ive taken
in the last year, nothing so risqué has happened to me, but that
hasnt stopped me from fantasizing about what might be going on a few
rows over, or wondering, as I stand in the security line, who might
try to pick me up. I love that Wi-Fi is the wave of the flying future,
as I write about in my story Urgent Message,” and Im looking forward
to much in-the-air flirting.
Whether youre a member of the Mile High Club or just want to be, I
hope these stories take you on some exciting trips, and that your next
plane ride is just as eventful! Please feel free to share your story

Review
Reviewed By: Kathleen Bradean, for Erotica Revealed
"The state of the world being as it is, the fabled Mile High Club seems a reminder of the past, the swinging 60s and whatever the 70s were about. While the new paranoia brought scrutiny that seemed likely to end airborne frolics, Rachel Kramer Bussels anthology The Mile High Club is a ray of hope for the altitudenaly inspired.
Most of the stories in Mile High Club are contemporary, but Craig Sorensens Top Banana” goes back to the days when stewardesses were hired for their looks and portrayed in media as bimbos. Those were the years when traveling salesmen got out of their cars and took to the skies. Subject of countless bawdy jokes, meet career gal in a mini skirt. No wonder the public imagination flew with that combination. But in Craigs story, the stewardess is tired of her male passengers sense of entitlement, and on her last flight, she teaches a horny salesman a lesson he never forgets.
Donna George Storey creates consistently wonderful stories. Her Nasty Little Habit” is my favorite of the sex in the seat stories in this anthology, although Rachel Kramer Bussels Urgent Message” and Ryan Fields Bert and Betty” are damn hot reads too.
If you like a bit of domination, try Bill Ktepis 34B,” Matt Conklins Wild Child,” or Obedient” by Teresa Noelle Roberts.
Thomas Roches When Your Girlfriend Wears a Very Short Skirt” deserves special mention. Thomas is an incredible writer, so I tend to have higher expectations for his stories than for writers I dont know. Much lighter in tone than most of his work, this one delivers.
Speaking of writers Ive come to expect a lot from, Alison Tyler also contributed to this anthology. She may not know me, but she definitely has her fingers on several of my hot buttons, and I cant recall a story of hers that didnt push at least one. Her Planes, Trains and Banana-Seat Bicycles” doesnt take to the skies, but there are planes involved. In her skillful hands, thats all youll need to fly.
Wing Walker” by Cheyenne Blue is the most original story in the anthology. The biplane pilot from an aerial show tells his wing walker that hes going to find her a lover. She laughs off the offer, and as months pass, he doesnt follow throughuntil he does. On a practice flight meant to test the newcomers skills out on the wing, he shows her that he has moves shed never imagined. This may be a flight of fancy, but its a good one.
Its impossible to think of sex in a passenger plane without also imagining the danger and embarrassment of being caught. If two people head for a lavatory, everyone notices, or at least it feels as if they do. So even if joining the mile high club never appealed to you in real life, your inner voyeur or exhibitionist may feel a frisson of excitement in all the right places as you read these stories."
