Using the Toilet in other classes

I've read some complaints on another forum about people from Economy coming into CX's new Premium Economy Cabin to use the PE Toilet (on the 777). What does everyone think about this? Should the FA's be preventing this the same way they try to prevent Economy passengers from using the Business Class Toilets?
Would you complain? or just let is slide...

As long as you go in with an FA it doesnt matter what class because the FA has full use.

I got really annoyed on my last CX flight in F when the J passengers in the mini cabin kept coming up to use the F lavatories. FA didn't stop them either.

Yes it's a bloody toilet but the cleanliness of it is affected if more people use it but the FAs don't clean it more often. On my flight one of the J passengers didn't even bother to flush the toilet.

I often agree with mayodave, but in this case I think the OP has a point. It's not only the toilet itself. It's also a question of foot traffic through the cabin to get to the toilet. So whether CX is willing to block off that toilet on the 77H for PEY pax will go to what kind of an experience they hope to create with that product. Since the smaller, quieter, more exclusive cabin is part of the marketing pitch, this is a potential problem.

When I sat in PE on the 333 they strictly prevented PE pax going up to the J toilets.

Fairs fair they should be doing the same to keep the Y rabble out of PE

Calm down Mayodave... it's just a question. You obviously have "Too much time on your hands" to be able to take the time to reply... And I wasn't saying the PE toilet is "Better" than the Economy ones. Only that you PAY to have the upgrade and the extra traffic in your class might not be appreciated.

It's certainly more pleasant spending a few minutes in the F toilet compared to the Y one. Trust me, I've done both recently!

Did they have good aim though?
(If there is turbulence I have a little bit of sympathy)

Going a bit OT here, but I notice in flight no matter what stage of the flight we're at, there's always a bit of an arc rather than a straight line. The trick is to get the angles right

Keep in mind that gravity also affects things so I can't use -9.81^2 to make the parabola and that the gravity is dependent on altitude.

Keep also in mind that gravity depends on lattitude. Going above the pole is a different experience

well good aim or not, not flushing the toilet after use is just disgusting I meant if the FA don't want to stop J pax from using the F lav, then at least clean up the lav after each use as if they were F pax (do they usually do that?)

When I find myself sitting towards the back of J, I would sometimes downgrade my toilet if there are no queues. Less to walk, and it's just a toilet after all.
