Some do. In BA, premium washrooms do have windows. When you slide the lock, the glass changes to frosted magically. It must have an LCD film in it. Very swish.

But when I am changing into my pyjamas before pushback I always lower the blind - I really am suspicious of technology and it doesn't seem to "frost" on the ground. I'd hate to be ejected from my flight for inadvertantly flashing my netherbits at the world at large.......

They do On Etihad.
I always get a laugh when I go in to find the previous person had pulled down the window blind obviously worried that someone outside may be able to see them sitting on the throne.

Not every Airbus lavatory has windows - the one I was on last night didn't. There was supposed to have been a complaint from an American woman on Concord that somebody could look in on her while she was on the loo. that was when they were over the Atlantic.....

Never mind the frosted/clear glass debate, why don't the windows open so you can clear the previous toilet user's reasty fumes from the air ?

hi,
Two aircraft that I have been on have windows in some of the toilets;
(1) BA 747 in First class - the forwardmost toilet has a window)
(2) Finnair A340- business class toilests had windows ( VS A340 did not IIRC)
Regards

slightly changing the subject a bit... still on the window topic though,
why is there at least 1 row with a plain wall and not a window, notibaly the 737-800 or i think the 767 (ba anyway) in front of the wing, is it a structural thing on an aircraft?
