It is difficult to avoid going to the bathroom when taking a flight, and it is more likely to use the bathroom when taking a long flight. However, the aircraft environment is more special. It is best to listen to the suggestions of the flight attendant first when you want to go to the bathroom, or it may make the process more smooth and safer.
According to USA Today, Rich Henderson is a flight attendant at a major US airline. He and her husband Andrew Henderson jointly operate Two Guys on a Plane blog. When Rich was recently interviewed, he revealed his little knowledge about the aircraft and the way he suggested using the aircraft.
I was asked why most of the shelves on the airplane are small. Richie said that "money" is definitely the main reason. The smaller the shelf, the more space there is on the airplane to carry passengers, and the more money you can earn.
But Richie said that it doesn't mean you can only stick a cold wall into the bathroom when you take the opportunity. Passengers can ask flight attendants. Flight attendants will know where the bathroom is larger or largest, and some even have barrier-free facilities, such as foldable walls that allow wheel chairs to come in and out, but the point is that passengers need to ask, otherwise Flight attendants will not actively ask for relevant needs.
People may want to go to the toilet at any time, but Ritchie suggests that if it can be avoided, try not to go to the toilet at the safety belt light and food delivery. The former means that it should be left in the seat, while the latter is because the on-board walkway is small and the dining car is heavy, so the air service is difficult for the air service to let the passengers pass. "When you are delivering food, you should go to the toilet. If you are patiently waiting for the dining car to move in the aisle, the air service will be very grateful."
Ritchie said that when the aircraft is not yet flying, it is necessary to avoid using the hand washing room as maintenance personnel may still be in maintenance facilities, so the water system will not be used.
If there are many people who want to go to the bathroom at the same time, where should they wait? Ritchie and Andrew both said they should wait in the seat. Andrew said that after the 9/11 incident, airlines had many more rules for passengers to gather on the plane. For the crew members, safety is the primary priority. If the crowd gathers, it may threaten safety. After all, anything may happen in the airplane.
Ritchie said that if passengers are in aisle queuing and other passengers will be out of reach when passengers are in aisle, the traffic flow of the on-board airport will be more even.
