Having flown on American's narrow-body aircraft hundreds of times, I can confirm that the slimline lavatories are tiny — it's certainly too small for disabled passengers to use effectively and likely poses a significant challenge to anyone who is even a pound or two overweight.

On an American Airlines Boeing 737-800, for example, the seat-rating site SeatGuru warns of several “bad” seats, denoted in red. They include all the seats in row 30, at the back of the aircraft. The reasons are obvious: Like Conway's, the seats in row 30 are next to lavatories and don't fully recline.

How do I use the airplane bathroom if I cannot walk? If you need to use the toilet, ring your call button and ask the flight attendant for assistance to the lavatory. Flight attendants can assist you from your seat to the aisle chair, and will push you to the accessible lavatory onboard.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol and soft drinks to prevent frequent trips to the bathroom. Consider limiting fluids before a flight. Travelers choosing this option should use caution to avoid dehydration, and be sure to re-hydrate upon arrival at the destination.

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.

Is it safe to drink water from the tap in an airplane bathroom? No, it comes from a tank that is very rarely cleaned and can contain bacteria. Even after washing your hands always use hand sanitiser.
