Japanese Airline to offer Women-Only Toilets!

Starting next month, women flying ANA will have their own toilet on most international routes. The airline is responding to "numerous requests for this service," adding that the toilet would be located in the rear of the plane and be available to women passengers from all classes.

An airline official told Kyodo news agency that ANA decided to designate women-only lavatories based on a 2007 online survey in which 90 percent of the women polled said they found the idea attractive.

It is not the first interesting decision by the Japanese airline; according to the AFP, "Since 2006 ANA has pursued a one-month awareness campaign each year in which it asks domestic fliers to visit the bathroom before boarding to reduce their body weight and therefore cut the plane's carbon-dioxide emissions."
