EYCL Pax use SQ business class toilet and gets a scolding from crew

[inix]

The top ranks should know that to the average man, SQ's suites toilets just look like business class toilets. Since suites are supposed to be a class beyond 1st class and 1st class is above business. This toilet, being seen as only business class standards, is way below par. That's why the man was angry for being scolded. If he had used a toilet with golden seats and taps with showers etc, he might have that the scolding was worth it.

For golden toilets, we need to learn from the Bruneians probably

To be honest, some of the posts here just reminds me of the class divide. Thank god I'm not on the receiving end..

Noticed at times on the A380 EYCL upper deck, some pax (normally seated at rows 71-75) will go & use the 2 lavatories at the business class, even though the curtains are cordoned off but you will still see pax trying to open the curtain & going through without being discovered.

Maybe there wasn't an FA nearby for him to ask?

There was the drinks cart, which should have at least 1 FA there (2 FAs usually) and 2 FA (I assume by crew members, he means FA) near the toilet. And he refused to open his golden mouth and ask.

Excerpts below:

"After take-off, the crew started to serve drinks to the passengers. I suddenly developed a stomach ache and had to use the toilets. I stood up and saw that the toilets behind me were being used and there were other passengers waiting in line for them. I was also blocked by the drinks cart which was between me and the toilets.

....

"Before entering the toilet, I saw two crew members near the toilet who did not stop me going in. After I had finished, I exited the toilet and started walking back to my seat.

Sometimes the meal carts there do prove a hindrance, so pax do not even know they are not allowed to use the business class toilets, so they just go through the curtains and use the JCL toilets there, there is no galley at that area, just the closet, so most of the time there is no FA there.

Ticketing = Using the toilet in your cabin that you have paid for. Which most decent airlines enforce and should continue to enforce

Oh yeah a "one off" I wonder how many people pull the "I really need the toilet desperately" routine in order so they don't wait.

All these people with all these "stomach bugs"

Perhaps they should maintain better personal hygiene and eat in more reputable locations. That or wear a nappy!

Yeah that's right, cos it's happening all the time. You guys in business / first / suites probably would never have noticed it.

If someone stared me down in my seat, even after scolding me, I would be making a complaint. That's just an ego, nothing else.

3 pages of poo talk. lovely

I can't believe it's sparked on this much of a debate... Still, provides quite a bit of entertainment on an otherwise boring Wednesday night (ok, Thursday morning)...

Yep the class divdie is great with first/business/economy

The A340 with Singapore is good though, you wouldn't have this problem there

Business class toilets are for business class passengers

End of story!

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.....

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.

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.

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

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.
