This is Michigan's version of the upscale gentlemen's club. The valet parking and drink prices are Detroit-normal, high by Southwest Michigan standards but typical for the Detroit clubs I'm reviewing here. It's a rectangular room. Runway stage down the middle, with two poles. Dancers enter the stage down stairs from a balcony above. There's table seating close in on either side of the stage. Beyond that on both sides are two tiers of booths. These booths are reserved, requiring a tip to the floor boys, except for the bench seating on the upper tier on the far wall under the projection screen. The bar is at the opposite end of the stage from those stairs, with stools around three sides. There are small stages in the middle of each set of booths on each side of the stage and one in one corner of the bar. That balcony where the dancers come from wraps around three sides of the room. One short side of the balcony is taken up by the stairs that you use to come up here and a small bar. The other short leg holds the entrance to the dressing room, the DJ booth and the top of those stairs I mentioned that the dancers use to make their entrances onto the stage. In each corner of the long side of the balcony, where those short legs join, is a VIP room. One of these is the club's champagne room, called the Vegas Room. The other room is the Crystal Room. Between these two rooms are a series of alcoves, each with four built-in love-seat sized benches, big enough for you and your dancer. They've recently added more curtains in all the dance areas which add a bit more of an illusion of privacy. It doesn't really matter where you go for your dances, the dances are all the same price and what you get has more to do with the dancer you're with than where you go.

They have a Corvette hanging from the ceiling on winches which they lower onto the stage occasionally and have a girl or two squirm all over for a song. And there is a clear plastic shower stall that can rise out of the center of the stage. They'll put two girls on top, raise it up about half way and have the girls squirm all over each other on top of it. Doesn't really thrill me personally, but what the hell, at least they're trying.

The normal stage dancing scheme is two dancers on main stage, first dance clothed at the bar end of the stage, next dance topless at the stairs end. Then they rotate through the booth, bar and booth stages, one song each, doing topless dances. They say that $10 table dances are available, although I've never seen one. When you say yes to a dance, the dancer will either lead you upstairs or into the "Champagne Room" on the main level. The Champagne Room is a converted closet next to the front entry. There are two chairs and a sofa in here, now curtained off for a bit more privacy. Dances are $25, regardless of where you are. It seems like the better dancers tend to use either the Champagne Room downstairs or the Crystal Room upstairs so that's one indicator some folks use to pick a dancer, watching where she takes her customers. But, like I said, it really doesn't matter any more, I've had outstanding dances all over the club.

This club used to be top dog, the one with the best looking dancers. Now-a-days that title belongs to the Penthouse. Business, and therefore dancer quality, has declined quite a bit at Flight Club. These two clubs are owned by the same guy and the dancers tell me that there's a rule that if you dance at one, you can't dance at the other. But all of this may be getting ready to shift again. The recently-passed Detroit ordinance may, depending on how it is impemented, turn Penthouse into a lame air dance club. That may bring the better dancers, and their customers, back to Flight Club. Being outside the Detroit city limits, Flight Club will not be affected by the new Detroit rules.
