Now airline TOILETS are getting smaller

What about DISABLED PEOPLE.. WE NEED MORE ROOM TO ENTER ,TO MANUVER, TO USE THE TOILET..
LAST TIME I FLEW I HAD TO PEE WITH THE DOOR OPEN.. THE FA COVET THE OPENING WITH THE CURTAIN..

THIS IS PLAINLY AND ADA VIOLATION, LETTERS TO CONGRESSMEN..

Smaller toilets, smaller seats, smaller aisles, the only thing not getting smaller is the paying public. The average human has increased in overall size by almost 10% in the last 100 years - which is about the same timeframe the statistical measurements being used to determine who big (small) an airline seat, and now toilet, can become. The people making these executive decisions do not fly on the commercial aircraft, they travel around in an opulent business jet with huge first class seating and nearly apartment sized toilets. If they had to always fly commercial and not in first or business class, but in coach, decisions to downsize everything would be a different picture. As ADBEAR pointed out, all of these decisions are pushing into violation territory for all disabled passengers and those of us on the higher side of the human 95th percentile in size.

This is going over the line... For Some people they are going to have to use it from Long Distance! The lavatories are small even for a normal size person.... It will also affect those "Mile High" Lavatory people... Reminds me of the time a couple fell through the door in the act during turbulence!

well.the airlines could stop serving food and drink onboard (they almost have anyway),and put up a sign at the door to the jetway, (kind of like your mom used to remind you to do before a trip)saying did you go to the restroom before getting in line to board the airplane???please do...!

I have done more long haul flights that I care to remember. Being based in South Africa, at more than 11 hours London is about the closest International destination I have been to. Many times. JFK is well over 15 hours for me, and Hong Kong 13 hours. I have never - repeat, never - used a bathroom for anything other than having a pee, washing my face, and brushing my teeth. In more than 30 years of International air travel, I have never done the "Number 2". I refuse point-blank.

I am more than likely going to be tarred & feathered for saying this, and I know this comment will take a lot of flak. The problem is the consumer. Always looking for the very cheapest fare. Because the consumer "demands" the cheapest fares, the supplier needs to reduce the fare to attract customers. To make more money (from the reduced fares) they need to compensate by cramming in more passengers. More seats, less space. Most consumers, faced with a choice of airlines, will mostly opt for the cheaper fare. Using an example, if 1 airline has 150 seats and no frills, and the other has 30% less seats with all the frills, which would you choose? The cheaper? Or the one that costs 30% more? Reduce the seat count by 30%, increase the fare by 30%. But no. The consumer wants the cheap flight, then complains. The consumer has become complacent, and expects everything for nothing (metaphorically speaking). These days it is cheaper to fly than it is to drive. Ticket prices are very much lower now than they were years ago. I would happily pay the extra 30% for a pleasant flight. However, consumer demand for lower prices has driven the airlines to reduce fares. You pay for what you get. Just my penny worth.

Thank God! I know what we're all thinking -- right now those lavatories are just way too big!

And how long before we're being charged to use the lavatory? It has been suggested!

What’s the big deal? Your blanket, an airsick bag... ..and you’re good to go. Best thing, though, is to fast before flying.... I refer to those flights as a fast trip.

I wonder what size person these designers are using for "tests" on the newer,smaller restrooms? in actuality, even the old ones cant be called "bathrooms" (no room to really bathe if you wanted to,even in the sinks), and "restroom" is not really true as there is no room to rest!they are beginning to look like the "porta potties"you have at outdoor festivals and the like!
