You mean like this?  "Irish budget airline Ryanair has said it is 
considering charging passengers for using the toilet while flying."

Dunno.  We fly Alaska Air almost exclusively.  The only time we don't is 
when we've traveled outside of the continental US.  The last time we 
took a domestic airline other than Alaska was when someone gave us 2 
tickets to New Orleans, and then they were stand-bye type tickets given 
to retired employees (Delta in this case).  This was well before Katrina 
I might add, and we'll never do it again even at that price.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

       Title: White Rose Toilet Soap
  Categories: Cookbook, Crafts, Herbs
       Yield: 1 Batch

       1 lb Hydrogenated vegetable oil
            .  or lard
       2 oz Coconut oil
       4 oz Commercial lye; dissolved
            .  in cold water
       1 oz Baking soda
       1 tb Salt
       1 oz Glycerine
       3 dr Essential oil of rose

   Place the water, lye and grease into a large kettle on a medium flame.
   Stir continuously with a large wooden spoon.

   The water will evaporate as the mixture thickens. The mixture will
   thicken and spit up like gravy, indicating that sponification has
   taken place.

   Remove the mixture from the stove, stir it to help it cool evenly. It
   is important to stir the hot soap while it is heating to prevent it
   from scorching on the bottom of the pan.

   Add the remaining ingredients, except for the perfume. Add color if
   desired.

   Add perfume. Pour into molds.

   NOTE:  Saturated fats usually give a better performance in soap
   making, which is why lard and tallow were once used exclusively in
   this process. Hydrogenated vegetable oils, however, which are solid
   at room temperature, can be excellent substitutes for lard or tallow
   and are generally preferred by vegetarians. Liquid vegetable oils can
   be used, but you might need to reheat several times to get a hard
   soap. Unless you like the smell of peanuts, avoid using peanut oil.
