Airline Onboard Toilet Fees?


Remember coin-operated toilets? When you had to pay a dime to use them? Some still exist around the world, according to a recent senior traveler report of encountering them in New York City, England, France, and of all places, the Vatican.

Actually, the U.S. Congress may soon vote on a bill that will make charging passengers for toilet breaks while in flight illegal. Several years ago, Ryanair considered a toilet use fee of a Euro, equal to a bit more than $1 per visit, but overwhelming public disapproval killed the plan.

President Truman

Remember on that November 1948 morning after he won the election? President Harry Truman, a Democrat, held up a copy of the Chicago Tribune? He was laughing because the early edition headline of the Republican newspaper was an absolutely wrong DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.

Truman’s birthplace is a small six-room farmhouse in Lamar, Missouri, about 100 miles from Kansas City. The house was purchased in 1957 by the United Auto Workers to honor the President who was a strong advocate of unions. They had it restored as a museum and given to the State of Missouri as an Historic Site. The museum is at 1009 Truman Avenue, and open daily to the public.
