British Airways’ decision to redesign their first-class lavatories with windows has caused quite a stir—because apparently, “mile-high views” now come with a very literal twist. While the idea of gazing at the clouds from the loo might seem poetic to some, for others, it’s a window of opportunity for mortifying discomfort.
One passenger on a flight to New York expressed her unease, wondering why there weren’t any blinds. Fair point—while the view of the Atlantic Ocean is majestic, it’s not exactly the vibe when you’re multitasking at 35,000 feet. British Airways assures travelers that the windows are positioned for privacy, but let’s be honest—trusting angles at that altitude feels like the aviation equivalent of trusting the “private browsing” feature.
On the bright side, these lavatories might encourage shorter visits. After all, there’s nothing like the vague possibility of a passing drone, bird, or UFO to speed things along. It’s minimalism meets exhibitionism, and let’s just hope the next design trend doesn’t involve live-streaming.
