A Congressman Is Fighting for Your Right to Pee on Planes for Free
Should you have to pay to answer nature’s call?
In 2010, the Irish budget airline Ryanair announced it would charge flyers between €1 and £1 to use its in-flight toilets. What’s more, the airline said it would trim the number of bathrooms per plane three to one—making more room for paying butts in seats. That would mean one fee-for-service toilet for 200 people. Even plane fee advocates said the plan went a drop too far.
