Talk to me when it has those fancy japanese toilets
I鈥檓 curious, do you know if the plants are real or fake?
I had assumed the foot wide gaps next to toilet doors was part of the US constitution - a right to peek into toilets
The first two I tried had broken lock mechanisms 馃槬
I think you might be right.
No bidets. Korea and Japan still winning with this near magical tech.
Just give me bidets and it will be perfect
Another delight: (colossal and spotless) floor-to-heaven mirrors for checking yourself out.
That's what the bathrooms looked like in Prey (2017)
Thss as t it has taken this long to get here and a many people still oppose it. Wants these everywhere in Canada too!!!
I think they do a poor job adequately preparing visitors from the rest of portland or even the rest of the country
We had the technology, we just needed the political will
They鈥檝e had these at FCO for almost a decade
these are down right *Japanese* in their excellence
seems like theres enough room for my carry on luggage too?
This is the way.
*twice* I鈥檝e been the only person in there somehow, and that represents peak bathroom for me
They redid the bathrooms at one of the middle schools in my town in this fashion (not as snazzy, but functionally the same) and ... it's the only middle school bathroom I have ever seen which wasn't absolutely vile.
Not only that, but everything at the airport is the same price it would be anywhere else in the city, by law. So many cities make their first or last impression by ripping you off, glad we don't do that here!
flying into pdx just to take a life-altering, canon event poop
I love shitting!!!!
These are incredible, but I can't help feel like something has been lost, efficiency-wise, by abandoning the urinal. There needs to be a separate room with a piss-trough.
The stalls are a *little* narrow for some folks - but I imagine there are larger ones?
Pfft. No bidet! (Just kidding - I was just there yesterday for the first time in a while, and those bathrooms were pretty nice!)
that鈥檚 what Buc-ee鈥檚 looks like in heaven
Useful handles so i can shit while doing a L sit
Sadly, u cannot drink the toilet water
Inclusive restrooms should have become the norm a decade ago. (This is a beautiful example.) It makes me want to scream when I see people debating which communal non-private restroom or locker room someone should have used. Those rooms should not exist!
Just like Reykjav铆c. So simple.
also nice they installed a pommel horse so you can practice gymnastics while waiting
How do they keep the poor people out?
Five bucks says that they're going to get a lot of complaints from boys about having to wait in line to go to the bathroom. ;-)

Wait it doesn鈥檛 have the sensor that auto flushes if you lean a bit forward?
That鈥檚 at PDX? Nice!

I don't like these new stalls. Sincerely, former Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID)
Lovely, but those stalls feel like coffins. I'd prefer the more traditional style that can breathe.
We have these now at SeaTac (less beautiful, but unisex, closed stalls etc), and they are glorious.
still no bidets tho smh
it鈥檚 such a great airport
Yeah but maga toilet monitors still won't use em because now they're too gay
Do they have urinals in the men鈥檚 room? And how can you tell if those private rooms are occupied or not without pushing on the door
