14 Pictures of the Secret Airplane Compartments of Flight Attendants
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.

Image Source: David Parker Brown 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.
