Taking long flights can be a tiring experience no matter how
comfortable the plane is. If it is uncomfortable for a passenger imagine what it would be for a flight attendant or a pilot. They have to stay vigilant all through the journey and mind the needs of passengers. Long-haul flights take more than eight hours to reach destination. Long-haul non-stop flights fly without breaks, which means a very long working day.


To make things better for the crew most of the long-haul plane manufacturers build secret rooms and bedrooms where the crew can rest. They are usually built behind the cockpit and can only be accessed by the crew.

Different planes have different type of layout and interiors. Some are of dorm-room style with all the beds placed side by side and a little partition separating them.

Boeing 773 adopts an aisle-style compartment.The beds are on either side of the aisle separated by partitions and curtains.

The quarters are windowless and usually very cramped. They are meant to serve as temporary retreats for a quick nap or break.

The signs near the entrance give details about the capacity and instructions for usage.

Some interiors are made to look lively with pops of bright colored pillows so that the lack of space is less noticeable, like this Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Or this Boeing 777, which also has storage space for the attendants.

While this Canada’s Boeing plane has a very function-oriented bland look.

The whole experience of being in such cramped spaces can be claustrophobic. But since they are temporary sanctuaries to get
some shut-eye they serve their purpose well.

The entrances are hidden away from the view of passengers. They sometimes are small doors with a compact stairway up to the rooms, while some are ceiling trap doors that look just like the luggage bins above passengers.

Boeing 777 also has a compartment overhead with two business class chairs and a washing area.

very nice info. But seriously, I didn't know about this before. Thanks for this wounderful forum and the lovely people we have here.

I love this....front page please..

c.c: lala come ooo

Nice one...

The attendants also need some rest, I don't like that bland canadian one, seems it's made like that to discourage them from sleeping.

Mere looking at the pictures alone makes me claustrophobic...

If I mistakenly sleep in any of those, I'd be sure to dream about the judgement day

Good for them.

I miss being a cabin crew.it was a fantastic experience.
These pictures brought back beautiful memories.I wish I could relive those days.
Doing long haul flights to new places,meeting people,the exposure,the knowledge garnered from different experiences!!
Great great I tell you.

I envy those ladies up there
