The present invention is a system and apparatus, system, and method for providing reservations for restroom use and access to the most conveniently available restroom. In one embodiment, a passenger on an airplane may submit a reservation request to the system for restroom use. The system controller processes the request, assigns a reservation number, determines whether the restroom is available and notifies the passenger when a restroom becomes available. The system seeks to direct the passenger to the restroom closest in proximity to the location of the requesting passenger's seat. The system improves airline safety by minimizing the time passengers spent standing while an airplane is in flight.
