Euro Traveller passengers using the Club Europe toilets?
Is this usually allowed on a plane? I recently went on a CE flight with separated cabin by the means of a curtain. Several passengers from economy came through into the business cabin to use the loo, and even started a small queue. Is this allowed? Are there not loos at the back of the plane too? It was an A320

The CE aisle seats could have a premium price added if electric shock devices were issued after takeoff to be used on any economy passengers daring to use the front loo....especially status pax in the exit row...extra points for stunning them into painful yelps.

Big bucket of popcorn in hand but yes, with buy on board blocking the aisle for at least an hour on my last flight, to avoid wet seats and aisles, there is an inevitability that CE toilets will need to be used by steerage passengers.

I’ve given up mithering about this. I genuinely cannot remember the last flight I was on where an ET customer didn’t use the CE toilet, including when I was the ET person involved.
with only one toilet at the rear of some aircraft and a
trolley blocking both routes I’ll go for whichever is nearest!

mI remember several flights where CC turned ET passengers back and asked then to use the rear washroom, but not very often. Strangely enough, I was on an Iberia Express flight recently in business class ( Iberia LCC) and all economy passengers were turned back which made a pleasant surprise.

These trolleys do have wheels. In the olden days, PAs were made stating that the forward washroom was CE only. And crew would move the trolley if people needed to go. Problem now is densification and reduction in the case of the 319 of the number of WCs.

This does always seem to set people off on FT. During the last time we hashed this out and people lost their cool, I reached out to several airlines on twitter for clarification. BA unambiguously stated that Club Lavs are ONLY for Club pax and coach pax should NOT be using them.
