A few years ago, airplane bathrooms were 34 inches wide on average.

Then they were shrunk down to 27 inches.

Now, the bathrooms aboard the new American Airlines jets will be just 24 inches wide.

"Now, the bathrooms aboard the new American Airlines jets will be just 24 inches wide."

Sheer genius when the average ass seems to be about 30" on some of the Hippos who fly these days. Hillary would have to stand in the aisle and try and arc it into the bowl.

What do they think we are, 6 year olds? I could barely fit in and use them before.

They don’t care. You’re not a passenger. You’re cargo.

This is ridiculous; they may as well pass out paper cups and put buckets and a rolls of toilet paper in the isles!

The whole plane will be a toilet and you’ll have to pay extra to sit in a private chamber for the duration of the flight.

They can save more room by eliminating the used razor blade repositories.

The term "width" used here could mean either of 2 dimensions when it comes to an airplane bathroom. The last time I used a bathroom in an airplane, it was a terrible experience. As someone with Crohns Disease, needing to use a restroom without warning was something that happened. As I was boarding, I spoke to a sympathetic flight attendant about it, and she OK'd my using the 1st class restroom if the coach bathrooms weren't available. As we were on final approach, I had to get to a bathroom RIGHT NOW! I unbuckled, and ran to the rear of the plane. Because I'm tall, I had to wedge myself onto the toilet, my knees pressed against the opposite wall. My feet were at least 2" from the floor! I was actually on the toilet when we landed, but frankly, I was wedged in so tightly that I was probably more secure there than with a seat belt!

I can't imagine that they could reduce THAT dimension any further!

They also have 10-across seating on their 777 models, along with other domestic airlines.

That pretty much RULES THEM OUT in my book for international flights - I only go with international carriers, who are still mostly 9-across.

The last thing I do before I get on a plane is use the bathroom. I never use their stupid bathrooms but I’ve noticed that as soon as the seatbelt light goes out the line starts forming. Apparently other people just can’t wait to use them.
But then I try to stay away from public bathrooms period. Will only use one if absolutely necessary.
