He watches TV and discovers that his son has joined the "Mile High Club" with a girl he met at the airport

Imagine being a parent and watching a show like "Afternoon 5" or "Life Live" and at some point you recognize your son, just over 20 years old, in the video that is shown and commented on in the studio.

This is what happened to Elaine in the living room at home. last week when he recognized his son Piers immortalized by dozens of smartphones as he entered the bathroom of an A320 full right into the small group of the Mile High Club.

The video that went viral on X (i.e., Twitter) then bounced across all platforms, millions and millions of views, comments and memes.

What happened

Piers was traveling aboard an easyJet flight to Ibiza where a vacation to celebrate his 23rd birthday awaited him. Excited about the vacation, he met a girl at the airport and after a chat and (I would bet) a couple of drinks they settled into their seats on the low-cost orange flight.

The two must have thought the flight to Ibiza was too long, or the girl, who has not yet been recognized by anyone, must have thought it would be an unforgettable birthday present For Piers who is a car salesman by profession.

Mile High Club, the forbidden dream becomes legal: here's how

So they got up to go to the bathroom and walked in together, in broad daylight and with the cabin fully lit. If on a long-haul night flight certain behavior might go unnoticed, it is very difficult on a daytime flight of a couple of hours and especially on an A320 that has 186 passengers and only 3 bathrooms, two at the tail end of the plane.

In confined environments, news flies, and so, as seen in the video, passengers grabbed their cell phones and incited the flight attendant to open the bathroom door to check that no one was sick.

Opening the door the whole plane was able to breathe a sigh of relief, no one was going to die, Piers was just celebrating his birthday. The young Englishman with a feline snap closed the door and, as told by the tabloid The Sun, after a few minutes came out of the toilet with his new friend and, to the applause of the audience, reached the place where the two waited to land on the Spanish island.

Last year a pair of fiery lovers, again on a low-cost flight, had been unable to restrain their hormones and They had let themselves go directly to the chairs, without even wasting time reaching the bathroom.

Mom "Blame the steward"

"I was watching 'Loose Women' and they were talking about it there, and some of Piers' friends started sending me the clip," Elaine said, "It's not something a mom would want to see."

Mom is still mom, and Elaine lashed out at the flight attendant guilty, according to her, of first inciting the crowd and then opening the door to one of the two rear bathrooms. "The flight steward should not have simply opened the door. The whole flight was cheering him on and he was laughing too," Elaine said.

No happy ending

Not only could the couple not finish the practice in place, they had to take the "walk of shame" or envy depending on your point of view in the midst of two wings of the crowd, but Upon landing, Piers and Miss X were met by airport police. to be identified. No, definitely not a happy ending for Piers and partner.
