The feature that makes the best economy plane bathroom in the world

A Reddit user has shared a photo of an aircraft toilet – and one particular feature has people calling it the best plane bathroom in the world.

Frequent flyers will know that going to the bathroom on a plane isn’t an enjoyable experience.

Cramped space, dingy lighting and the loudest flush in the world don’t make relieving yourself a pleasant task.

But a Reddit user revealed they caught a flight with the best economy plane bathroom in the world, thanks to one amazing feature, The Sun reports.

The person, who goes by username u/drewsoulman on the platform, shared a photo of the plane toilet which had a window inside – a feature that is unheard of in most aeroplane bathrooms.

On top of that, there was even a shelf behind the toilet – perfect for holding a phone or wallet.

The post has received more than 116,000 votes and 2600 comments, and most viewers were amazed at the bathroom.

“I wouldn’t leave. Better than economy seat,” one person wrote.

“Probably more room than a coach seat. Might as well hang out in there for a while until they get suspicious,” another said.

“Plane toilets are always so cramped and gloomy – this is nice,” a third wrote.

Someone else said they thought a window would help them get over one of their fears.

“I wish this was more common. I have an irrational fear of aeroplane bathrooms. I like being able to see out the window on planes as I feel more grounded. I feel like this would help my fear,” they wrote.

Best time to use the plane toilet

Meanwhile, a former flight attendant has revealed the best time to use the facilities on a plane.

Mark Benders explained that flyers should go to the toilet about half an hour before landing as it’s just before the seatbelt sign goes on before the descent.

“When you are on a flight and you start getting the feeling that you’re getting close to your destination, the first time you feel the aeroplane slow down from cruising speed, you will have about half an hour before landing,” he said.

“That would be a good time to use the lavatory because the fasten seatbelt light will go on soon and you won’t be allowed out of your seat until the plane reaches the gate.

“You never know if your landing or arrival at the gate will be delayed.”
