Women only loo on ANA

[Bucky]

Japan's ANA Group will begin introducing women-only lavatories on ANA Group international routes from March 1.

The carrier says the move follows "numerous requests" from passengers.

One women-only lavatory will be designated in the aft section of the passenger cabin (the location may differ depending on aircraft and configuration) and will be available for use by women passengers in all classes of service. The change will not be implemented on routes serviced by smaller Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 aircraft.

ANA says there will be some occasions when men can use the restrooms:

* When required for safety reasons, just prior to the seat belt sign being turned on during take-off and landing.
* When a passenger is not feeling well and a personal emergency requires such use.
* When there are very few female passengers and the women-only designation has been lifted for the flight.

ANA (All Nippon Airways) is the seventh largest airline in the world by passenger load (IATA ranking) and Japan's largest domestic carrier. It carries almost 50 million passengers every year to 50 destinations in Japan and 23 cities throughout Asia, Europe and the US.

Is this so ANA staff only have to install hidden cameras in one lavatory rather than in all of them?

Stuff the women's only shitters, when are they going to set up a Mile High Clubroom?

OMG - that is so dumb. Who do these princesses think they are?

I do appreciate that on long haul flights that the loos do get a bit gross and some guys don't know how NOT to piss all over the seat and the floor, but perhaps some sort of education to the sprayers or more regular cleaning by the staff would remove the need for this.

Do these women have women only toilets in their homes too?

I was listening to the media commentary on this breaking news flash this morning. It was hilarious to hear two male 'casters trying to rationalize and otherwise explain why females would truly be uncomfortable using a loo that men can, or do use.
WTF?

Less than a generation ago, there were no segregated loos. Men and women used the same one. The Loo's in the national railway (JR to you jeeps) stations not only were unisex, but they didn't even have doors on the stalls. Our office cleaning ladies (some quite young) still walk in and out of the loo at anytime they please and can probably tell you how much baggage each of the fellows have hanging down.

It was nothing nothing in the days gone by to be standing at the trough with johnson in hand playing the ever popular "drown the cockroach" game, when some cute young thing would walk in with a "sumimasen" and use one of the stalls behind you.

Even most of the old bath houses required you to hit the water together and you can still find some of those in the countryside. Damn, they can sure get uncomfortable fast.

It's easier to go the women only route than teach millions of men how to piss properly.

So, if I want a CLEAN restroom (in theory) I just wait until the only the women's room is available, and claim it's an "emergency"?

Just admit there are cameras in there, and when some asshole, drunk, or octogenarian sprays his piss all over, get on the plane-wide intercom and say "This dude exiting the toilet just sprayed the place with piss, now he's gonna clean it up, here's a mop. If not, we'll call him a terrorist and you can all beat the crap out of him until we land, OK?"

"OK!!!"
