It is a GOOD idea. Have you ever polished off a soda, taken off in a jet, hit bad weather, only to have the crew tell you to remain seated, and the plane bounces like crazy, and your bladder is FULL, and you gotta pee so bad you can taste it ??? I will gladly whizz before I leave on a long flight.

LOL!
It's just the airline's lame marketing spin on their "commitment to sustainability" So much easier when they put it upon the customers, then they don't have to spend any money on anything but still look like they're trying...

lots of companies are pretending to, pardon the pun, "give a crap"...

How about sticking to the topic of the article. This isn't about having to hold your pee during a flight.

Right. And most people do use the restroom before boarding the plane, just because it's such a hassle once you're on the plane. But it's the concept behind the practice that's idiotic. Where does it end?

LOL, that's pretty funny. But who cares really, how many of you are boarding that airline? Is it costing you anything? Nope, just one more thing to prattle on about.
