Thomas Cook also has loos downstairs on some of their aircraft - but they do have 1 loo at the back for those unable to use stairs.

Wow, I didn't know of this! Doubt it would 'fly' in the USA, given the inevitable issues for 'differently-abled' pax. Although I suppose they could receive dispensation to use the upper-class lavs?

I'm sure they accomodate pax that can't make it downstairs in the J lav.
Of course, this brings up an interesting question. LH has all F seats on the upper deck of the 744. Are they able to accomodate F pax who can't walk up the stairs? They don't usually board via the upper doors. Are there any other airlines that have one class exclusively on the upper deck of a 747? I can't think of any, every other 747 operator I can think of splits a class (or 2 classes) across the main deck and upper deck.

BTW, my first post in OMNI.

As is proper. After all, you don't want the riff raff from steerage intruding. It might startle the children. :D

Oh. Well in that case it definitely doesn't 'fly' in the USA.
