Loo and Behold

Ryan Air decided to charge you for using a loo on board. A Japanese air carrier follows suit with another policy.

A few months after Irish low-cost airline Ryan Air decided to charge you for using a loo on board, Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways has a new policy. Passengers have to use the washroom before they climb aboard. The rationale: empty bladders will reduce weight on board and result in emission reductions. And save the carrier costs. This, though, is only a four-week trial through October.
