Venus and Mars Discuss Ladies-Only Airplane Lavatories

Japan's ANA is introducing them on long flights. A good idea or not?

The current buzz in the air travel sector of the blogosphere is ANA's announcement that it would be converting one front-cabin lavatory on international flights for women only. Stuck at the Airport posted the news on "Ladies Only Lavs on All Nippon Airways" and commented, "Why a woman’s only lav? Women who have flown on long flights don’t even need to ask." Upgrade: Travel Better posted "Do We Really Need Women-Only Lavatories Inflight?" and noted, "Restrooms are scarce resources on aircraft. Taking one lavatory out of commission for half the people on the plane means a greater likelihood of people (men) milling about in the aisles, waiting for a free loo."

It should come as no surprise that a woman, Harriet Baskas, writes Stuck at the Airport and a man, Mark Ashley, writes Upgrade: Travel Better. Ashley asks for his readers' opinions on the subject. What's mine? I really have none, because I've very rarely flown in any cabin except the back of the plane.
