An air-craft toilet with a view
Everyone knows that going to the bathroom on a plane isn’t an enjoyable experience to begin with. Cramped, dingy lighting and the most horrendous flush in the world make relieving yourself not exactly the most pleasant task.
However, a Reddit user revealed they caught a flight with the best economy plane bathroom in the world. The person, who goes by username u/drewsoulman on the platform, shared a photo of the plane toilet that had a window inside – a feature that is unheard of in most aeroplane bathrooms.
On top of that, there was even a shelf behind the toilet – perfect for holding a phone or wallet.
The post has received more than 116,000 votes and 2600 comments, and most viewers were amazed at the bathroom.
“I wouldn’t leave. Better than an economy seat,” one person wrote.
“Plane toilets are always so cramped and gloomy – this is nice,” added another.
Someone else said they thought a window would help them get over one of their fears.
“I wish this was more common. I have an irrational fear of aeroplane bathrooms. I like being able to see out the window on planes as I feel more grounded. I feel like this would help my fear,” they wrote.
Meanwhile, a former flight attendant has revealed the best time to use the facilities on a plane. Mark Benders explained that flyers should go to the toilet about half an hour before landing as it’s just before the seatbelt sign goes on before the descent.
“When you are on a flight and you start getting the feeling that you’re getting close to your destination, the first time you feel the aeroplane slow down from cruising speed, you will have about half an hour before landing,” he said.
“That would be a good time to use the lavatory because the fasten seatbelt light will go on soon and you won’t be allowed out of your seat until the plane reaches the gate.
