All Qantas 747-400′s Have windows in the ‘A zone’ Lav’s.
The A zone being the main deck nose cabin (First Class) or in the case of the two-class ‘Frankfurt’ configuration busines Class.

Sometimes mid-flight, you go in there and someone has lowered the shade -who the hell do they think is out there to peek at 30,000 feet? Hilarious.

This window electronically ‘frosts’ opaque when the aircraft is stationary, so the modest can, uhh, rest easy.

John M – Unfortunately I didn’t have the chance to head into the flight deck. For some strange reason, I didn’t even ask and that was quite dumb on my part. Oh well.

Albert – Please post your impressions as a comment here! Feel free to link back to a full report if you post it elsewhere.

Thank you so much for resising the urge to shmooze with the hoi-palloi, and instead displaying some journalistic integrity and doing a thorough report for your readers.

If only you could have gotten some pics of the flight deck!

SkyWest’s EMB 120s with the forward lav have a full size window. Right over the toilet.
