See where flight attendants sleep on long-haul flights (pics)

They need to take breaks and get some rest. But, where do they sleep?

Newsroom June 1 08:23

On long-haul flights both flight attends and pilots need to take breaks and get some rest. But, where do they sleep?

Most Boeing 777 and 787 airliners have a secret stairway that leads to a tiny set of windowless bedrooms for the cabin crew. Usually crew rest areas are hidden behind the cockpit, above first class and the aisle is so low that you have to duck to walk through it.
