A $300-a-month unlimited pass will also be available.

Can also use miles... 40,000 for the month pass. With an initiation fee, of course, if you're a new member.

Only if you're Platinum (assuming that this is still free for DM). Much like Sky Club membership, this will cost 70,000 miles for kettles. Fortunately miles can be purchased for only 3.5 cents each!

Instead of "have one on us" coupons, delta will give out "have one trip to the toilet on us" coupons when OLCI.

How many miles would one earn?

Imagine a Toilet Run! :cool:

surprised nobody has asked this yet, but here goes ... $20 per visit? or $20 per flight?

Or similiar to checked bag fees (sans size and weight restrictions):

first visit $20.00
second visit $30.00
third visit $40.00

and so on...

Never thought that this one could be a problem on a US carrier, isn't "illegal" to walk to other cabin for them?

There'd be major issues given it'd take DL IT 3 months to figure it out how to print out correctly. In the meantime what would pax do?

Imagine the reaction from the pax in Y on those CR7s that only have a lav in the back... The poor folks in F running that gauntlet might be hanged. Or worse!

And if they have no bread, let them eat cake. :)

Don't forget the promo, which makes this a steal at roughly 47,000 miles purchased.

Why sans size and weight restrictions?

Why not also have fees for size and weight?

(let's see if someone will take this line of argument to it's logical next step...)

Who gives a s*** who uses the lavatory. Find something real to complain about next time.

Hey, I see what you did there... :D

af fp Aug 4, 2011 7:48 am

What about DL brings back enough lavs in Y?

I_Can_Fly_US_Airways Aug 4, 2011 7:51 am

Terrible Idea!
 
Let the people in Steerage, stay in steerage. I personally liked the idea that Ryan Air came up with a couple of years ago where they wanted to install pay toilets...cool...
