ANA airlines offer women only bathrooms

You might remember that last October I reported that All Nippon Airways (ANA) was introducing "toilet concierge staff" in their gate areas to encourage travelers to use the toilet before they boarded their flight thereby reducing the weight of the aircraft.

Now, they have designate women only toilets onboard their flights. They will be available to women in all classes of service and available to men only if ill and the toilet is no being used. It should be noted that there are no male only designated toilets. Women can use all of them.

I was not sure how I felt about this until it struck me that I embrace it as now they can add urinals, the newspaper and other "man cave" necessities to the "other" toilets to make our trip's also pleasant and quicker. Add Aqua Velvet scent to men's toilet and some kind of spiced potpourri to the woman's designated toilet! Instead of feeling less "special" by not having a designated men's toilet, maybe there is a men's benefit here? :)
