In other words, Y could use F class lav's. All lavatories were in operation so this wasn't due to a maintenance issue back in Y. I believe this flight was DFW to SFO.

I meant to ask her if this was a new policy but frankly forgot about it and just remembered as I was reading another post on FT.

Has anyone else heard a similar announcement lately?

I don't know if it's a new policy, but I do know they were reported for claiming it was an FAA regulation that prevented passengers from using the lavs not in their class. For domestic travel, there is no such regulation.
