 PRNewswire
 A recent survey by discount travel site Hotwire.com of American adults found that 40 percent feel that being seated next to an attractive stranger makes the flight more interesting. More than half of men (53 percent), compared to one in four women (27 percent), responded that it would add intrigue to their flight.
When it comes to celebrities, Americans love coffee talk with the queen of daytime TV. Among a list of seven celebrities, almost a third (32 percent) would prefer to sit and chat with icon Oprah Winfrey while in flight. Julia Roberts also ranked high, with 20 percent of both men and women selecting the pretty woman as their ideal seatmate.
What other celebrities would Americans most like to share peanuts and leg room with?
- Laughter is the best medicine and as such, 14 percent stated that they'd like to sit next to comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
- Veteran "Sexiest Man Alive" George Clooney proved more popular among women than current heartthrob Jude Law. More than one in 10 women (13 percent) chose Clooney, with just five percent opting for Law.
- Men under 35 were torn between business, laughter and pleasure; 21% chose Jerry Seinfeld, 19 percent chose Jessica Simpson, while leading ladies Oprah and Julia Roberts each received 15 percent of votes, and 14 percent opted for Donald Trump. |
