WOMEN flying Japan's All Nippon Airways will have a toilet all to themselves from next month, with the airline designating one restroom on most international routes as female-only.
The airline said it was responding to "numerous requests for this service," adding that the toilet would be at the rear of the plane and available to women passengers from all classes.
An airline official said ANA decided to designate women-only lavatories based on an online survey in which 90 percent of the women polled said they found the idea attractive.
The official also said women did not like using shared toilets as men sometimes left the seat up. She said demand for women-only toilets was especially high among passengers on long flights.
Men would be allowed to use the lavatory in emergencies only or when there were very few female passengers.
