So you plan on an airplane trip. Let's say the pilots show up sober and the flight crew is able to fight their way through the mob demanding more peanuts, seat upgrades, peace and quiet. And away you go! Or here you come.
Now, let's say you are landing here in Baltimore at the Baltimore/ Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. And I will say, welcome to Baltimore, hon, and have a looky-loo at the loo (men's or women's) because, ahem, BWI's new bathrooms are among the best in the nation!
I know, you're thinking of the standard pee palace where the soap dispenser actually laughs at you instead of handing you a little dollop of foam, the towel dispenser is empty because the sign says "We're fighting paper waste" and the hot air machine blows even less hot air than Sean Hannity. And some wise guy even scratched "Dry Hands On Pants" on the instructions. But B/WITMA has a chance to win the coveted "America's Best Bathroom" plaque for 2023.
It's all part of a $55 million facelift that I, as a Maryland taxpayer, was delighted to chip in for, because I feel that airline passengers deserve a nice Tinkletown. I just never dreamed we'd make "Architectural Digest."
IF YOU GO...look for restrooms gleaming white with a blue accent. Stalls have have full-length doors, equipped with red or green lights to let the world know you're in there. The urinals are spaced widely enough to allow room for a rolling bag to fit next to you. Sensors will alert custodians when the towel dispenser or the soap machine are running low.
And Natural Light comes in through honeycombed privacy windows.
I think that's really nice, to get a new beer while you're getting rid of the last one.
