A Frontier Airlines Airbus A321-200N, registration N688FR performing flight F9-3566 from Denver,CO to Detroit,MI (USA), was enroute at FL330 about 150nm west of Chicago when the crew decided to divert to Chicago after a leak in the forward lavatory caused water to flood the cabin and run down the aisle. The aircraft landed on O'Hare's runway 10C about 25 minutes later.

The airline reported the forward lavatory "sprung a leak" and caused water to flow along the aircraft floor.

A replacement A321-200N registration N655FR reached Detroit with a delay of about 4.5 hours.
