"This week, the Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a new rule requiring airlines to make bathrooms more accessible for disabled people. All new single-aisle aircraft will be fitted with fully-accessible lavatories.
Most flights inside the United States are single-aisle and as technology has improved, they are used more frequently for long flights, including coast-to-coast trips that can last as long as six hours. Double-aisle plans are already subject to the regulation but are primarily used for international flights.
Out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg announced the new regulations, saying, “Traveling can be stressful enough without worrying about being able to access a restroom; yet today, millions of wheelchair users are forced to choose between dehydrating themselves before boarding a plane or avoiding air travel altogether.” ...
The secretary has made it a priority to improve service on airlines during his tenure. In 2022, six airlines were forced to pay millions of dollars in refunds to hundreds of thousands of customers and were also fined millions for causing the issues. The department’s firm stance on the side of customers has continued through this year after multiple companies have had meltdowns, stranding thousands of travelers.
All planes delivered to airlines starting in 2026 must include several upgrades. Planes already in service will not need to be retrofitted unless the plane is renovated.
“These aircraft must have at least one lavatory of sufficient size to permit a passenger with a disability (with the help of an assistant, if necessary) to approach, enter, and maneuver within the aircraft lavatory, to use all lavatory facilities, and leave by means of the aircraft’s onboard wheelchair if necessary,” the DOT said in a statement.
Accessible faucets and controls, grab bars, accessible call buttons and door locks, minimum obstruction to the passage of an onboard wheelchair, and an available visual barrier for privacy are also required upgrades."

Wayyyyyyy fucking overdue but I'll take it!! Also, very nice curb cut effect: We all get to be less miserable on airplanes, and older people don't have to worry as much about airplane bathroom fall risks.

The last photo I took of Yankee Air Museum’s B-17 Yankee Lady taking flight at Thunder Over Michigan in 2022. In light of recent news regarding the grounding of all B17′s regarding a wing spar flaw, the Air Venture season for taking a flight on Yankee Lady is cancelled for 2023. It is unclear if we’ll ever see Yankee Lady fly again. This issue spans all current airworthy B17′s and may be the end of an 80 year era. I personally hope this issue can be mended for all current airworthy B17′s including Yankee Lady as they stand as ambassadors for the legacy of WWII, Aviation, and the men and women who volunteer to maintain these historic machines. Here’s hoping we’ll hear the iconic sound of four props rumbling the skies again someday.  Cheers Yankee Lady, maybe i’ll visit you soon at the museum.
