Traveling Thai Airways Economy? Refresh With Fragrant Toilet Water!

It’s pretty normal for airlines to try to differentiate their onboard product, even if it’s in economy. For example, earlier today I wrote about how Air France’s new ad campaign focuses on how they offer free food, entertainment, and champagne in economy.

I’ve always enjoyed Thai Airways’ marketing. They used to suggest that those in their Royal First Class were in a higher social class, though it looks like they’ve since removed that marketing. It looks like their aspirational marketing isn’t limited to first class, though.

Even economy passengers enjoy special amenities, like… “fragrant toilet water” that is “available to refresh at any time.” Per Thai Airways’ economy amenities page:

Economy Class travelers on long distance regional and international flights are provided with a personal pillow and blanket for a more restful journey. Eye shades and ear plugs are also available on request.

Economy Class lavatories are located throughout the cabin and offer ample facilities for all travelers. Fragrant toilet water is also available to refresh with at any time.

Please keep in mind that some of us are allergic to fragrance, both on contact and respiratory. In fact, it causes migraines that can lead to strokes. The last thing we need is this practice in an enclosed space. I would be sick the whole flight. Please be considerate of your fellow passengers.

There’s nothing as politically current as a Privileged White American Male being stupid by making fun of another’s language.

Toilet water was the most common name for this, even in the US, right up until very recently. Eau de toilette didn’t start getting widely used until the 60s and didn’t beat out Toilet Water until the https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Toilet+water%2Ceau+de+toilette%2C&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2CToilet%20water%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Ceau%20de%20toilette%3B%2Cc0

Lucky, Do not appeal to our baser instincts ;) Most seasoned travelers here (including you hopefully!) know that eau de toilette will translate to toilet water. Yes, it is not a good (and it is a funny) translation.

I was hoping they use Hai Karate. (If you remember it and the self-defense instruction booklet that was included with every bottle, you're gray, just like me). Why is it that most blogs list "perfumes & colognes" as items Not to wear aboard airplanes? I can understand if someone showers with Aramis, but a discreet cologne is a feel-good item in my mind.
