The Shrinking Lav
 

Airplane bathrooms Get Smaller to Squeze in More Seats - The Middle Seat Terminal - WSJ

As a matter of policy, I do not visit the lav on flights 3 hours or less. I would hold it in before I risk being wedged inside one of them permanently.

But, hey, 4 more seats in Coach. That's enough to bring tears to eyes of them bean counters.

Anyway, I much prefer the Japanese style toilets of basically a hole in the ground. I can squat real good and prefer that to sitting.

There will be a mock-up W/C at check-in,will be required to enter,if you fit,you will be issued an electronic Bif-Card. No fit.... no card. I have no idea how they will handle the F/A's.............

Yes, perhaps they are shrinking:
but, it's all relative::D

This is actually a Boeing thing, as they have switched to a new manufacturer for them. All airlines are getting these new lavs. Hopefully they don't come with lithium batteries.
