Unrelated, but I was in F JFK-HKG the other day and a couple bought in a huge amount of McDonalds which they were eating pre take off and for at least 20 mins into the flight (must have been horrible by the time they finished it!). The whole cabin stank and then the galley stank when they removed the litter for about another 30 minutes until the A/C nailed it.
Now I like McDonalds but I would never contemplate consuming it in F and stinking the place out.
Am I being unreasonable? I made a comment to the ISM but didn't complain per se. She was horrified about the smell too and apologised to everyone in the F cabin but didn't ask them to remove it.

I just got off of the JFK to HKG flight a few minutes ago and I am not mistaken, there are 3 lavatories in F and all 3 were never taken up at the same time. I don't see why the gentleman could not have moved to another toilet even if he felt someone took his "slot". Personally, this is not something I'd want to create drama over

Yup. That's the layout. Big one on the port side, small one on the starboard side. Unfortunately, neither have windows....this may sound odd, but I think the F bathrooms on the 747 are really quite lovely. A few windows, a large (curving?) shape, large mirror, it's actually quite civilized and it feels totally unlike the standard lavs on a plane, even on the 777 in F. On the 747, even if you're walking in just to change or freshen up, looking outside and seeing the clouds has something of an elegant feel to it.

I guess it's an unfortunate situation, but nothing you can really do about it. The smell of a food in a confined space is probably the last thing on your mind when you are really hungry and craving a particular food. There's worse things that can happen onboard smell-wise - like bad body odour, or someone vomiting.
