[BITList] Flight Attendants and Pilots Secret Places in a Plane

Mon Jun 20 15:07:51 BST 2016

From a correspondent…

  Example of the concealed stairway. 

  Even sneakier, some planes have a secret hatch that looks like one of the bins where you store your luggage. 

  This is a sign that actually tells passengers about this ‘secret’ bedroom, but who reads those? 

  Although they have no windows and they’re cramped, there are still  beds so the flight attendants can get some rest. This is a Boeing  Dreamliner. 

  On the Boeing , the overhead can fit up to  bunks, and even has personal storage space for the crew. 

  Pilots are lucky enough to have their own sleeping area, with two roomy beds and two business-class seats.

  Speaking of separation, there’s as sign that strictly prohibits more than one person per bunk… so no mile-high action here…. *wink wink* 

  Usually the bunks come with blankets, pillows and sometimes lucky crew members can score some pajamas. Some even have entertainment systems. 

  This one inside Air Canada’s Boeing  Dreamliner has a flat, open sleeping area. 

  Some airlines (the American Airlines Boeing  for example) have beds on each side of an aisle, kind of like a cruise ship. 

  Others have bunk beds, like summer camp. 

  Singapore’s Airbus A380 gets even fancier with silk pillows. This makes those overnight flights seem even worse, knowing the attendants are cozy upstairs while you’re in the middle seat trying not to bump arms with the stranger next to you. 

The secret compartments where cabin crew rest on board long-haul flights have been revealed in photos online.
