On a Ryanair flight Wednesday, a couple joined the Mile High Club in the most disturbing way possible, by having sex in their seats in front of the entire plane.

According to SFGate.com, the Ryanair flight was en route from Manchester, England, to Ibiza, Spain, when passengers heard the young couple begin talking loudly about how they wanted to have sex on the plane.

One witness, a 21-year-old passenger on the plane named Kieran Williams, said the pair looked to be under the influence of alcohol and were doing everything in their power to gain the attention of the people around them.

Eventually, the woman began undressing from the waist down and the man pulled his pants down. The woman then climbed on top of the man and began riding him as other passengers watched and some even filmed the events.

"A woman was sat next to them and she stood up and asked if she could be moved," Williams told the Daily Mail. "About twenty minutes after it happened, someone complained about it. But the crew did nothing."

In response to complaints filed following the flight, a Ryanair spokesperson released a statement.

"We are looking into this matter," the spokesperson told the Daily Mail. "We will not tolerate unruly, disruptive or inappropriate behavior at any time and any passengers who appear to behave in an unacceptable manner may be liable for further sanctions."
