Random 747 Lav question
 
So I'm due to fly in the new F soon ^ and I was curious. Looking at the seatmap, there don't really seem to be any dedicated F lavs. There are two at the back of the section, but they seem to be more dedicated to C. I know this is totally petty and random as well but I was just really curious at this. Thanks for the possible enlightenment!

The lavs at the back of 1st class are for 1st class not biz. The FAs usually enforce that pretty tightly.

Great! Can you tell me of any special amenities in them? (not that I'm expecting much but you never know...)

Nothing different than the lavs in Business.

You have a better chance of having an uninterrupted mile high club experience.

If you sit while flushing it becomes a bidet;)

Hi,

I was in F on the new 747, SIN - IAD, a couple weeks ago. The lav to pax ratio is high. No waiting.

In F, the mid-flight snacks are placed on what's called the KitchenCounter instead of a cart.

12 pax and 2 lavs in F. The lavs are in front of the divider curtain C/F. The FAs usually are strict in keeping the lowly masses ;) in C out of our lavs. And, there is a sticker on the lav door indicating "For First Class passengers only" or, if the sticker is gone, I've even seen hand-written notes taped to the lav doors.

So, if you are in F, chances are good you won't have to deal with C pee or poop! :D

Maybe it was a special one modified just for Japanese routes? They're nuts for those.
