Airport Restrooms
Not too long ago I flew to Seattle for a short 30 hour trip to visit the University of Washington campus. I noticed that the Seattle Airport (or SeaTac rather), actually had bathroom stalls in the baggage claim area in which the door opened outward (away from the toilet). Finally, someone had the common sense to think about how difficult it is to use a stall with luggage when the door opens inward into the stall.
But then I returned back to the airport and noticed that the stalls in a bathroom in the terminal have doors that open inward. Perhaps they were thinking that travelers would have fewer items to carry in the terminal vs. the baggage claim area.
But why not just make them all open outward?
