Alex Mayyasi wrote a piece on “Cincinnati’s most outrageous airline” – highlights include:

• For $425 Flamingo Air takes couples up in the air for an hour to join the mile high club.
• Other airlines have tried to run on the same concept but have failed. The key to Flamingo Air’s success is that it markets romance not sex.
• Perhaps as a result of this, essentially all the flights have been booked by women not men.
• The age also covers a wide range – couples between 35 and 85 have enjoyed the service.
• Marriages have taken place on the plane (they weren’t consummated – the priest was onboard) as well as 60^th anniversaries (they were).
• The flight has been successful despite living on the edge of the Bible Belt – the conservative part of America, in Ohio.
