Seriously? You carry a portable toilet in your carry-on for every flight just in case you're on the 1:1,000,000 flight where the bathrooms all overflow and the flight time happens to be so long you can't hold it?

Yes, seriously. I also carry feminine hygiene products too. If you think you can ask about my bladder issues I'm sure you have something to say about that too!

I just read a article about how the airlines made $57 billion in addon fees last year and are looking for ways to make more. Well, here is their opportunity. Watch for the FA's to start hawking TravelJohn Disposable Urinals or Stadium Pals right after the pitch for a credit card!

I find this incredibly greedy that you plan to file a complaint for something that was completely out of AA's control, especially after they preemptively offered you 30k miles as compensation. Would you file a complaint to AA if your flight diverted for a medical emergency? $hit happens, move on and enjoy Hawaii

They should have shamed the person who ignored the placards and inconsiderately tried to flush the diaper. What a crappy (sorry couldn't resist) situation for everyone.
Maybe the passengers could have banded together and fashioned up a "tar and feather" situation with that blue flushing liquid and toilet paper.

Does American Airlines cater on-board plastic personal poop bags for every passenger during extended duration flights like KOA-PHX or do they expect passengers to share their poop bag with some other frequent flying littermate?

Flew sfo/lhr once when over Canada we turned around to land on Sea because the toilets weren’t working. We were royally p**ssed because passengers had told the FAs before departure that they weren’t working.
We all said “just give us a bucket and continue to lhr” to no avail.

A urinal would be mounted higher and closer than the toilet seat currently is, so more pee would make it to the urinal, and no unintended pee on the toilet seat. Maybe I'm unusual, but my aim is very good, even in turbulence. It's a gift.
