Japan’s All Nippon Airways, which has asked passengers to visit the toilet before boarding to help the environment, said Tuesday it will fit its jets with a women-only lavatory(厕所).
ANA will introduce one female-only toilet per aircraft on international flights next month after a survey of women fliers identified(确认) it was the second most attractive service they wished for after being offered desserts. The rest of the toilets onboard will be for men and women as usual.
“We received many comments that having a women-only lavatory would be a factor in differentiating our airline from others,” said an NAN spokesman.
“Many women said that they feel uncomfortable taking their time in the lavatory knowing that a male is waiting just behind them in line,” he said. The spokesman denied that the new service was introduced following complaints about men soiling(弄脏) the bathrooms, telling reporters: “Those opinions may exist, but we do not have that data on hand”.
Since 2006 ANA has pursued (开展) a one – month awareness campaign each year in which it asks fliers on 38 domestic flights and four international flights to visit the bathroom before boarding to reduce their body weight and therefore cut he plane’s carbon-dioxide emissions.
The airline is also planning to install “washlets” in it’s aircraft-electric toilet seats with water sprays for washing-a common sight in Japan and generally a source of amusement for first-time visitors and users.
The “washlets” will be installed in the Boeing777-300ER,due to begin operating in April, and the Boeing 787 fleet set to start flying this year.

The world suffered another “September 11 ” on October 12 , when terrorists left bombs outside two busy nightclubs in the resort of Kuta Beach , Bali.
After the bombs exploded , flames rushed through the buildings, pulling legs , arms and heads off the people who lay in its path. Many of the people in the club that night now lie under plastic sheets in Bali, black and unidentifiable (无法确认的) even to their closest family members.
After news of the attack reached them, many parents flew out to Bali to look for their loved ones. One British girl was only identifiable to her parents because they recognized her belt buckle (皮带扣) .
Bomb survivor , Richard Hechnier , a 29-year-old Australian said , “I saw people on fire, people carrying others. Most were bleeding. It was chaos. It was dark except for the flames.
The victims were mainly westerners and many of them were Australians. For many young people in Australia, a trip to Bali is the first place they would visit without their parents, either after their school exams or in the case of Kingsley, to celebrate the end of the sporting season.
