Ryanair looking at the bucket and curtain like 🤔

[gewiener]

Who would have thought that the history of airplane bathrooms is more exciting than most in-flight movies?

Only Joe can make a video about airplane bathrooms while keeping it interesting. Good video.

@5:00 - You know you have just convinced at least one person to try this on their next flight.

Airlines seeing a weird increase in toilet paper consumption after this video:

For space travellers - the first part of an astronaut's space suit is the MAG (Maximum Absorbency Garment!). From the archives - Common question from flyers in the 1970s: "Can we use the bathroom while parked at the gate?" This seemed to come from the days when passenger trains literally dumped toilet waste onto the tracks. Understandably, train passengers were asked to 'REFRAIN from Flushing while in the station!'

I did not fancy using the camp port a loo that Air Rarotonga put in the baggage section on the Emb 110 Bandits, for the trips of up to four hours to the Northern Cook Islands.. I also managed to get the business class loo door stuck to the flight deck door of a 737- 800 on Virgin Australia. Both I and the Captain opened our doors at the same time. He took the door out of my hand. The Flight attendant saw me laughing and called the flight deck to untangle the handles. The Captain face, priceless.😊

I think it's funny we call lavatories or toilets "bathrooms." -- places that almost never contain bathtubs. I guess it's fun that that word (much like the word "toilet" itself) has transcended its literal meaning.

I remember a buddy of mine, Junior, and myself, we were trying to fly back to Tucson, Arizona to resume school. For whatever reason, one of the few flights leaving out of O’Hare airport that day, was headed for Indianapolis, Indiana, and then on to Tucson. Somehow or another, we ended up in adjacent bathrooms in the DC 10, and the panels in the ceiling were easy enough to open: pushed a little button in, and it clicked and popped down with a spring, did that in two corners, the panels swung open. Next thing you know, we’re standing on top of the toilet lids, passing a joint between us in the overhead of a DC 10!

Thank you for posting another video. You really motivate me to become a pilot.

My son's 8th grade class flew from Chicago to Washington DC on a dual aisle airplane. The highlight of the trip was when the flight attendants held a race of toilets sucking down toilet paper laid up the aisle. This apparently was the highlight of the whole trip - my son couldn't tell me anything about Washington DC but recounted the toilet paper race in detail.

Today's video was more of a Watch and Doo than a Read and Do 😉 Great video, never really thought of all the history behind something I admittedly take for granted every time I'm on board a plane.

[roymillsjnr]

Captain Joe, look up Yorkshire airlines by " Hale and Pace " have you in stitches 😂 🙌

[AToday]

Video idea: the more elaborate bathrooms with showers on some luxury airlines like emirates, etihad etc

[jpkosoltrakul]

Pee shoots still exist in some older small planes (you can see in the video from Ammo NYC channel where they detailed an abandoned Cessna 401). Some also hide the toilet under the seat.

Now this is a subject I can sit down and get into. 😅

[kenbrown]

anyone who listens to military aviation stories will know that pilots who are jerks to their ground crews learn pretty quickly how easy it is for a relief tube to be blocked by foreign material.

Imagine being an upper class person from the 1930s, you're among the few people who can afford to fly and you have to shit in a bucket

Thanks for this Dunny episode everything i ever wanted to know about toilets while having breakfast 😅😅😅😅.
Your 4 part series on Airline interview technique was absolutely mind blowing dont know how you guys and girls do it, you really are very special people.

When I was on a Fokker 50 I was shocked at the existence of water in the toilet 😅 also the plug-in oxygen masks and armrest ashtrays!
