AA potty upgrade
 

Beginning tomorrow, coach passengers can use first class restrooms on domestic flights.

Let the comments commence:

Really? Where did you hear this?

It was on the news last night.

I was on an AA flight last night. I asked a flight attendant about this. She said she didn't know all the details, but that it wouldn't be permitted on all flights.

Here's the USA Today link:

Interesting that AA issued no formal press release.... but it did hit the news. I hesitate to suggest a "leak" . . . .

"A Boeing 757 has two lavatories in first class, which has 22 seats. Two are in coach, which has up to 160 passengers."

Could that be a reason?

And in www.seatguru.com, it shows a Boeing 777 with 2 toilets in first class, 3 in business and four in economy. There is only 35 people in Business Class when full.

It's not true that 757s have two first-class lavs. There is one FC lav. There are three coach lavs, one forward (between FC and coach), and two aft.
