Read our privacy policy A woman has been sent to jail after asking passengers on a flight to join her “mile-high club” and then attacking cabin crew during a four-hour drunken rampage. Judge John Edwards said: “Good order on any flight – in particular a long distance one – is essential and those who undermine that put that at risk by behaving in such crass way. The matter is too serious to be dealt in any other way other than immediate custody.’’ Describing the events on 9 May, Prosecutor Miss Claire Brocklebank said: “It appears she was drunk before getting on the flight and she started making a number of inappropriate sexual comments to a number of male passengers on the flight. But when she was informed about the decision, she started demanding to speak to the pilot and said: ‘You may as well just land the plane now then.’ “Attempts were made to calm her down but she got up from her seat and in the direction of one of the crew members raised her fists towards her in a threatening manner.
