The Secret Compartment Passengers Aren't Aware of

While most airplanes seem claustrophobic, most Boeing 777 and 787 aircrafts have a secret compartment dedicated to small bedrooms for the crew. On long-haul flights, the crew splits the duration of the flight in half. This way, while one half gets time to sleep, the other half works. The sleeping area is usually small but comfortable and is commonly bunk beds stacked on top of each other or a flat open space of cushions.

While this may not seem luxurious, it's a life savior. After all, flight attendants are humans too, and just like everyone else, they need to sleep on long-haul flights.
