The swanky pods where Emirates crew members rest in flight

While perhaps not as luxuriant as the luxury carrier’s first-class accommodations, these napping cabins nonetheless had viewers green with envy.

“That’s a whole secret hallway,” exclaimed one commenter, while another wrote, “That is better than my seat.”

“I’d fall asleep and not wake up for the rest of the shift,” quipped a third.

Interestingly, most Boeing 777 and 787 planes have a secret staircase that leads to a tiny set of windowless bedrooms for the cabin crew, including concealed quarters for pilots.

Few people know these exist as passengers can’t access them under any circumstance and they’re well hidden from view.

“On long flights, there’s most likely flight attendants who are sleeping below you or above you,” flight attendant Kat Kamalani told Insider.

That’s because on long-haul flights — defined as those that exceed 7 hours in flight time — the crew gets split in half, so that one half works while the other half rests.

While airlines have a say in crew rest area configuration when they purchase a plane, the main parameters are set by regulators such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The regulatory agency mandates, for example, that the crew rest areas should be “in a location where intrusive noise, odors and vibration have minimum effect on sleep,” and that they must be temperature-controlled and allow the crew to adjust lighting, according to CNN Travel.
