Large and/or disability accessible bathrooms
 

Hey everybody, I am new to FT and this is my first post; so be gentle, ok? :)

My wife and I have been trying to get my father to come to Asia with us to see my in-laws (my wife is from Taipei) but he has always put it off. Well the other day my mom let us know (to make sure we didn't interpret this incorrectly) that since he is quite large, he fears that if he has to (I am just going to be honest here) defacate, he is worried he won't be able to clean himself properly in the shoebox that is the typical bathroom on a 10+ hour flight.

My question is which airplanes/airlines have large bathrooms? Are the bathrooms in first class bigger because I am not oppossed to paying for him to fly first class and have him relax and feel secure.


Any and all help would be appreciated because I don't think we can wait much longer for him to make this trip.

I've noticed newer wide-body jets usually have ONE larger restroom for disabled passengers.

I would just check with the airline.

For example, Northwest states they have an accessible restroom on "select" aircraft:

My only experience has been on United aircraft and the accessible lavatories are located mid-plane on some wide body aircraft. Not all aircraft have accessible lavs, but the newer the plane, the greater the chances because of ADA requirements.

The lavs in First are not larger than those in Business or Economy.
