Im very suprised to read how many of you disapprove of the aircraft lavatories. True, they are the smallest possible water closet you might imagine, but to a 6'0" guy like me with extra-long legs and arms the loo can be a releiving place to stand up and take the load off my butt.
Case in point, I'd been keeping my 2-year old daughter busy on the LAX-EWR-LAX AAL B752 (a small, uncomfortable aircraft however noteworthly her performance is for the flight crew) and the lav was a great place to enjoy some peace and quiet standing up without enduring the stares of 100 eyes.
