Drunken couple told plane they were 'joining the mile high club'

A drunken couple announced to a packed plane that they were 'joining the mile high club' before romping loudly in the toilets, it has been revealed.

Appalled passengers onboard an EasyJet flight bound for Alicante from Luton airport on Friday night said that it was clear from the sounds coming from the toilets that the couple were fulfilling their X-rated vow.

The flight, which was full of families with children, watched on in utter disbelief as a member of cabin crew frantically tried to get them out of the small cubicle and put a stop to their exploits.

Passengers said the couple, who looked to be in their thirties, had told others onboard that they were not married but had children from previous relationships.

Other travellers alleged that the couple had been drinking heavily prior to the incident and had spoken of their plans to sleep on the beach upon arriving at the popular Spanish city.
