I can hardly fix now.

And as short as it is, it needed to tell me that 24 inches is two feet?

Bathrooms getting smaller...

[OttawaFreeper]

In an effort to make the “Mile High Club” that bit more exclusive?

I make it a point to rarely use airplane bathrooms. For many people, it will now become a requirement.

Want to bet that some group representing overweight people will file a class action lawsuit demanding wider bathrooms? I can fit in the narrower ones but I would hope they would win. The one in my vintage camper can induce enough claustrophobic impulses that I’ll just go outside when we’re in the woods.

There are what three to six bathrooms on a plane, saving nine to eighteen inches? US airlines hate their customers and we hate them.

No bathrooms at all. And flight attendants admonishing us that we were supposed to go BEFORE we left. HT: Dear old Dad & Mom

Won’t fly AA then.

It’s a paper cup, isn’t it?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Although I’m too old for it to matter to me personally, I can see how this shrinkage of accommodation will make the mile-high club all the more challenging.

[Jmouse007]

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

[Jmouse007]

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

Goes with the small bathrooms

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

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.

Up next, honey pots under every seat.
