    Plus freaking out the other business class passengers when we set up a live stream and demonstrated the various positions you can put the seat into live from 30,000 feet to our friends back home.

    There should be some badge or other distinction you get from the Mile High Club for broadcasting the various positions you tried out with your girlfriend.

    Plane ticket from Munich to Bangkok: $950.00.

    Connexion for the 11-hour flight: $19.95.

    Mod points at 10,000 metres over Kazahkstan: priceless.
