Airplane bathrooms never seem like a place to discover good things, just unpleasant surprises. This was not the case when TikToker @downielive recently took a Lufthansa flight that had a good surprise with their toilets: they are downstairs, in the bottom of the plane!
@downielive shared a video with his followers of him walking down the stairs (in just socks!) from the seating area to point out the bathroom area, and the video received tons of views and comments.
Many people were immediately on board with what a good idea this is.

Members of the crew were behind the idea, for similar reasons.

Several people pointed out that it was probably a money grab.

Others mentioned the obvious secondary use for toilets located out of earshot of the rest of the passengers.

Many commenters pointed out an obvious flaw in these bathrooms: where do people who cannot take the stairs go?

Then there was the video itself. Folks were alarmed at how loud he was being on a long-haul flight, when presumably other passengers were trying to sleep.

Of course, people had feelings about the man wandering around the plane and into a toilet with no shoes.

A few people pointed out that this isnât new; itâs just Lufthansa, for some of their planes.

Finally, someone pointed out an issue that seemed to bother everyone: the bathroom size.

People wishing to fly this sort of airplane can try looking for transatlantic Lufthansa flights with the A340-600 aircraft type, usually from larger U.S. cities on the east coast.
