in the latrine. Likewise the connecting flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta. My punishment for getting careless about what I ate my last day in India.

Airplane bathrooms may not be all that clean but when ya gotta go ya gotta go.

We just flew to from Baltimore to Las Vegas and back on SW. Our plane coming home from Vegas was gross. Plus, there was an air handler issue and it was FREEZING cold. Everyone was complaining. My husband, who is immunocompromised, was masked the whole time but still got a nasty cold from flying. My bet is that it was the germy bathroom.
