Different washrooms
Hi all
Something I've never thought about, but are the washrooms different for each class of travel? for example: is the one in J different to the one in Y? or F and Y+? (bigger, decorated differently etc)

The F washrooms on the 747 and 772 have wood trim that matches the cabin. Only one lav (the first after door one) on the 747 has a window.
Club loos are being refreshed with new trim and flooring.
No idea what WT looks like, haven't been there in years.

It is quite common on airlines to have a 'better' washroom fro the premium classes. I recently flew on a TK 777 (the Jet Airways leased ones) and the First washroom at the front of the aircraft was significantly better than the J ones (situated between F and J). Bigger, more flowers, linen towels, up-market creams and soaps (don't remember the brand), special shaving/make-up mirror. It was a much nicer experience! 
Did not go slumming down the back to see what Y was like though!

OK so I would give the big washroom in F on a BA 744 an 8 out of 10 and my recent TH 777 (see immediately previous post) a 9 out of 10. Where does that put the A380, at 10? Or is it 15 or 20? i.e is there really a massive difference?

There is also a member of EK staff who is signalled every time the loo is flushed, and she will be waiting outside the door to clean up any, erm, spillages ready for the next person.

I personally think the bathrooms on BA in both J and F are terrible, very difficult to change in considering they give you PJs and basically look tired.
This is what SAS has on their A340 and A330 in their J product, BA should take note of the size and light.
ps, when you go to the toilet and the aircraft is on the ground, make sure you close the blind otherwise everyone can see you taking a pss while they are boarding...
