Yes, but only until the take off procedures begin. I have often seen people who have been waiting a long time to board go rushing to the toilets the moment they find their seat, and this is fine. Once the seatbelt sign has gone on then no, you can't. How do I practice airplane etiquette?

Once the pilot was done and back in the cockpit, the cart was rolled away and the guy told it was OK now to use the bathroom. Flight attendants can stop you from getting out of your seat, they can't stop you from going to the bathroom. When your body decides it's time to go, you'll go.
Airline pilots take turns using the bathroom nearest the cockpit during a flight. There are no bathrooms installed in the cockpit. For airplanes with a single pilot, diapers, catheters, or collection devices are used if they are unable to land to use the airport bathroom.
If you can wait until the seat belt sign is off, that's better, right? But if you can't, and sometimes you just have to go, go. Try to avoid doing so right after takeoff, right before landing (as in the first and last 5 minutes!).
For the most part, rain doesn't interfere with flights. Heavy rain will only become an issue when visibility is reduced near the runway or unique weather phenomena is present that cause rain droplets to freeze onto the aircraft. In general, airplanes can handle significant amounts of rain without issue!
If you do happen to pick up bacteria or fungi that's not your own, this may lead to itchiness and bumps on the skin and scalp. Showering after flights is probably a good thing—regardless of the length! —if only to have that clean feel after being cooped up in a cabin.
Before you even step on board a plane, you should carry a large bottle of water with you. Sure, you can ask for water from the flight attendants. But, it's more convenient to have your own supply for the duration of your flight.
The two airlines that feature onboard showers are Emirates and Etihad, both carriers from the United Arab Emirates. Showers are found solely on their Airbus A380 aircraft.
Accident statistics suggest that flying by night accounts for about 10% of the general aviation accidents, but 30% of the fatalities. That suggests night flying must be inherently more dangerous than aviating when the sun is up.
In some cases, the toilets may be locked before takeoff as a safety precaution. However, once the plane has reached cruising altitude, the toilets will usually be available for passengers to use.
It's (Usually) Ok to Use the Lavatory While the Seat Belt Sign is On. To a 98% approximation, flight attendants don't actually care if you use the lavatory while the seat belt sign is on. They have to tell you that the seat belt sign is on.
The airplane accelerates to rotation speed, but it's still on the ground. Obviously, some airplanes will lift off more quickly than others. Generally speaking, though, the takeoff roll lasts about 15 seconds for single-engine general aviation airplanes.
TSA agents and passengers are expected to followthe3-1-1? rule for liquids. The reason for not allowing liquid is that terrorists could bring liquid explosives or components to make explosive through water bottles.
To be extra safe, the CUNY researchers advised people never to drink water onboard a plane that does not come from a sealed bottle. They also said passengers should not drink coffee or tea brewed on their flight, and that they should even use hand sanitizer instead of washing their hands with onboard water.
Should I shower the night before my flight? Take your shower the day or night before you leave to ensure you're not rushed the day of your flight. All you'll have to do upon waking is brush your teeth, splash your face, and zip up all your luggage before heading out the door.
