Hoping to find a little romance in the skies? Better pick a seat next to a British flyer, as flight attendants called them out as the most likely to join the mile high club. Travel website Skyscanner asked over 700 cabin crew members which nationalities were most likely to slip off for a quickie, and the Brits were voted number one.

No charming Englishmen (or women) on your flight? Australians, Germans, French, and Brazilians rounded up the top five most likely to get lucky in the skies.

It seems that romance really is in the air—the survey also found that three quarters of the crew members had been asked out on a date by a passenger during a flight. (Only 14 percent of those who were asked out actually accepted the proposition, however.)

Would you ever ask out a flight attendant … or have a little in-air fun with a fellow passenger? Tell us in the comments!
