flag Airlines ask passengers to avoid airplane restrooms during takeoff, landing, and taxiing for safety.

flag Using the airplane toilet just before takeoff or during critical flight phases is discouraged by American Airlines pilot Steve, a TikTok influencer with over 400,000 followers. flag He explains that during taxiing, takeoff, and landing, flight attendants must stay alert and ready to respond to emergencies, and a passenger using the restroom could delay evacuation or disrupt crew readiness. flag The cockpit may also lack awareness of passenger locations, affecting emergency procedures. flag Pilots and crew urge passengers to use the bathroom before boarding or during cruising altitude when the seatbelt sign is off. flag While inconvenient, following this rule helps maintain safety and efficiency during vulnerable flight stages.
