The new 61cm-wide lavatories found on some US flights can free up space for six additional passengers. But some may not be able to close the toilet door

Are we still allowed to call fat people fat ?
I listened to a BBC programme where it was said that fat people are simply fat because of how our modern society is - fast food outlets everywhere and that they were a product of our society and it is not their fault....
I switched off the radio due to the rubbish being spoken. We all make choices about what we put in our mouths and what level of exercise we do or do not do.

I recently flew on an A320 fitted with these toilets in the galley area.
I am not fat (some may disagree with that) but I could just fit in and my shoilders touched the sides!
On exiting I said to a cabin crew member “what do very large passengers do?” He replied “Hold on to it”.
I hope,the bean counters don’t consider there use in longhaul aircraft.

Had my first flight on a BA 787 from IAD to LHR recently and made use of the aft economy lav by the galley. I'm not sure if it was one of these 61-cm lavs, but it sure was small, and I'm a relatively slim guy. Seating, however, was actually rather comfortable in economy, even for my 6' frame.

My problem with these mini lavs is not in using the toilet, rather it is in using the sink. There is just not the width to be able to bend down over the basin. Thus, if you want to wash your face, you need to figure out how to lift water from your waist to your head. It cannot be done without nearly all of it splashing onto your shirt and pants.
..........why don't they fit a couple with just a urinal?
One day a steward entered the flight deck and whispered to the Flt. Eng., who started to laugh and then wrote in the Tech. Log. for the benefit of the next maintenance engineers at the next stop, then showed me ... Gents Urinal used as Arsenal, please clean .... At the next station the engineers cleaned out the urinal and wrote ... " Rectumfied"
Being fat is not a disability.
And yes I know that’s not what you meant.
The aisles are not regular wheel chair accessible either .
Here’s the problem with traveling on an airplane when you’re disabled, you’ll never make it out in case of even a ‘moderate’ emergency.
