There aren't many airlines that offer personal bathrooms, even in first class. Though on that note, first-class does get its own bathroom, which is typically larger than economy class, and some airlines like Emirates have onboard showers.

Some airline policies are stricter than others, but even on flights which don't explicitly prohibit using toilets in other classes, flight attendants may prevent you from doing so.

No. Only the people who have paid for it will get it. If you are on an international flight, the answer is pretty much an absolute NO. From coach/economy, you can't even see first class anyway, so you wouldn't even know if there is a spare seat.

There isn't a dress code for first class specifically. Very few airlines publish or enforce any kind of special dress code for revenue/regular passengers, so if you're traveling on a paid ticket or an award ticket, you can relax. Note, however, that many airlines do have a general dress code.

Don't Make a Mess For those of us who want a little extra cleanliness before braving the bathroom, bring along some anti-bacterial wipes for frequently touched surfaces. It should go without saying, but the most crucial duty remains. Don't forget to flush! Heck, give it a courtesy flush if needed.

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.
