Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Isn't paying for a restroom common policy in Europe therefore it might not appear to be so unwarranted. The last time I was on SW I actually was wondering why the airsick bags lacked advertisements!PeptoBismol could include a free coupon. I must have been really bored on that flight.
