I'm amazed at the indignity of those who think that everyone should have the benefits of Suites Class regardless of the fare paid. You get what you pay for -- including ready access to lavatories without having to wait. It's very expensive to provide a high lavatory-to-passenger ratio. If that benefit is important to you, pay for it. Don't steal it.

You guys are funny, there is no talk about stealing anything at all. If that's how you want to justify your premium view then keep living in the clouds.

Both situations here describe someone who was ill and needed a one off emergency use of a toilet (the closest or most convenient being a higher class). This is nothing about stealing or using another class toilet regularly, don't be so melodramatic.

I gotta laugh everytime I fly business and wonder if I'm flying with the queen.

Yep it's surprising that the more educated travellers (one that post on here) and fly often think it's okay to basically steal and use another class's lavatories.

Some try to bring in the "class divide" and hint at white vs black or white vs asian and try to link the "class divide" with racism or apartheid

Let me clarify this again:

Airlines DO have class divides and always will have
People at the front of the plane will get better food/wine (most cases) larger luggage allowance, more crew, bigger seat, bigger tv and MORE lavatories per passenger.

Yep sure 1 lavatory per 6 customers is better than 1 per 50 but hey you get what you pay for.

It is NOT apartheid or illegal. It's a fact of life and a matter of getting what you have paid for, don't like it, either don't fly or pay for a class that you feel comfortable in and will be happy using the facilities that are provided to you in that class and that class only.

As I said in another post, if it's okay to use lavatories of a another cabin, how about the seat/food/wine/baggage allowance as well

To be honest, some of the posts here just reminds me of the class divide.

You're stating the obvious!

Maybe there'd soon be R-only, F-only, J-only forums that'd require you to post a scanned boarding pass valid for the day for enrtry ;]

I suspect the scolding ended when she told them she had just vomited. If they thought she had used the lavatory to urinate or defecate, then a scolding would have been called for.

A trusted source revealed that even cabin crew are not allowed to use the Suites toilet without first consulting the crew members working in Suites.
In an incident, a female FA working in Coach in the forward section was feeling unwell and rushed into the nearest toilet (Suites) to throw up and when she exited, she was faced with the stares and even harsher remarks from her fellow crew members despite her sick condition!
This goes to show how much emphasis was given to ensure that Suites passengers have exclusive use of the toilets they paid so much for. Nuff said.

Given the working culture of singapore where a lot of things are controlled, i find this very believable.

Sounds like an urban legend, that's bollocks. If she was sick and so sick that she had to vomit in the nearest toilets (suites), and then got scolded, that's just bullsh*t. If that's true then those staff that scolded her disgust me.

Guess the best way of fixing this problem is to have flight either all Business class or all economic class. No mix up, no miss used, no mis understanding.

Business class aircrafts are for business class passengers only !

A sniff of a complaint against SQ and.....
