Can passengers visit the flight attendants' sleeping quarters?
On modern airplanes cabin crew apparently have their own sleeping quarters. See this Youtube Video. Can you peek inside these cabins as a passenger or is that off-limits?
Best Answer
The crew rest areas are out of bounds to anyone other than operating crew. I have worked for two of the largest UK scheduled airlines and that was the case with both of them. No offence, but this is the only place crew can go to have a rest from passengers and there's no way I'd agree to letting a passenger 'have a peek', even if it was permitted. It's the crew's private space and that should be respected - you wouldn't go into a shop or any other public place and expect to have a peek in their staff room.
