Its a literal poop deck . An airplane passenger blew minds after revealing the unique location of the lavatory on a Lufthansa flight , which he detailed in a TikTok video with nearly 5 million views . The content creator was flabbergasted at the lavatorys location . How cool is that ? exclaims the content creator , who flings open one of the doors to reveal the lavatory , which is of a fairly standard airplane size , despite its quirky location.
The lower - level lavatories are located in the middle of the cabin and feature a dog barrier - like gate to keep passengers from toppling down the stairs . Its reportedly the only commercial plane whose loos are located on a lower level . Needless to say , TikTok users were amazed by the unique lavatory layout with one commenting : This looks luxury to me!
Some wits joked that the secluded loo location presented the perfect opportunity to join the mile - high club . Uniquely - situated lavatories are nt the only noteworthy feature of the A340 - 600 , which , at 247 feet from nose to tail , is the second - longest passenger plane in service after the 747 - 8 . Interestingly , the model was suspended from skies during the pandemic and was even slated to be retired . However , Lufthansa brought back a handful of them to handle the unprecedented resurgence of air passenger traffic after COVID - era restrictions were lifted.
In the accompanying footage , the flyer is seen standing in the aisle as he reveals : This is a normal commercial airplane , its not a double - deckerbut the bathroom is downstairs . He later revealed that he was on one of Lufthansas special fleet of Airbus A340 - 600s , which , as the flyer discovered , put their bathrooms in the cargo hold . The area has five restrooms.
Others joked that this secluded loo location presented the perfect opportunity to join the mile - high club . Yes . I do nt want to smell the bathroom anywhere near my seat ! ! exclaimed another . What s crazy is being in socks walking around , wrote a third , referencing the trend of travelers strolling about planes sans shoes . Interestingly , the model was suspended from skies during the pandemic and was even slated to be retired . However , Lufthansa brought back a handful of them to handle the unprecedented resurgence of air passenger traffic after COVID - era restrictions were lifted.
