First imagine in your mind the Airplane bathroom, one of the worst places to be. It is tiny, cramped, small and very uncomfortable, a claustrophobic passenger’s worst nightmare. It is like an upright coffin with a build-in pooping facility! You would not want to be a claustrophobic person on a long fourteen-hour flight when you need to use the facilities.
