Airbus Bathroom in the Sky to Become Smaller
Do you ever feel like Roy Hibbert in an airplane bathroom?
If you aren’t sure what that looks like, check out these pics the Indiana Pacers player posted last summer, writing, “I’m not one to take selfies but I know y’all were wondering how I fit in an airplane bathroom and the answer is … I don’t. #crampedlife

We’re not positive which airline he was flying, but most would agree airplane bathrooms are pretty cramped spaces, even if you’re not 7-foot-2.
Enter Airbus, which seems to be toying with our emotions. Two years ago, the company moved the bathrooms of its A320 plane from either side of the aisle to the back of the plane in order to add six more seats. And the new bathrooms were bigger.
But now it will make one of those bigger bathrooms smaller. It turns out the relocated bathrooms are taking space away from the food prep area.
The new plan, which will roll out in 2016, is to shrink the width of one of the bathrooms, according to the Los Angeles Times. Just how much, the company will not say. A rep told the Los Angeles Times only that it will be “equivalent’’ in size to the previous bathroom before the redesign two years ago. Looks like the line to the untouched bathroom will be a long one!
No congregating in the aisles, please.
The good news? The overhead bins have been made bigger. So at least your luggage can breathe.
