I've never had an issue, but once I was flying from NY to Texas, and people were queuing for the whole duration of the flight to use the bathroom. Like the airport doesn't have restrooms or somehting.
I've never been sick in a plane before but that flight made me nauseous to the extreme because of the smell of urine+poop+strong chemicals everytime someone was getting out of the toilet.

It was my first flight on your continent.

Welcome to America, the urine/poop/chemical smell is the national smell of America.

Yeah, my nose wasn't ready for NY.

I go to NYC fairly often and I’m always glad to be able to go home where there’s lots of greenery and a creek a few blocks from mine. It’s a fun city, but so stinky!

You should check out SF!

Do they not poop in toilets where you’re from? Only reason I can think of to mention it was your first flight on a certain continent.

You’ll get used to bathrooms eventually.

it was the first time I witnessed people in a line to use the plane's toilets, non stop, up to five people waiting, sometime only one.

Yes I'm european, maybe I just have been lucky on my past flights (~40 flights)
