Can I use bathroom in first class Delta?

Using the First Class lavatory for convenience In some cases, the crew will let Economy passengers use the First Class lavatory just as a matter of convenience. No urgency needed. The proper etiquette here is probably for only Economy passengers sitting near the First Class cabin to do this.

When you gotta go, you gotta go, and the one standard in domestic first class is that there's only one bathroom at the front of the plane (assuming it's a single-aisle aircraft, as is the case for 99% of all intra-US flights). If I have to go and the front lav is occupied, I head to the ones in the rear.
