Where is the pilot toilet?

Pilots have access to at least one bathroom on a plane, which is the passenger's bathroom. Long-haul flights on large planes will also offer a personal bathroom in the cockpit that the pilot can use. These are the most convenient bathrooms because the pilot doesn't have to leave the cockpit.
