The planes hide a secret room where the hostesses of the air rest during the flights

THE
Air hostesses and
stewards The main role of ensuring impeccable quality of service for customers of an airline. However, these agents are not robots and also need to rest. During long-haul flights, the navigating staff in planes must take turns to take breaks, including, and above all, the drivers.

However, no passenger never sees a pilot or a hostess of the air sleep on the plane. For good reason, hostesses, pilots and stewards do not take their breaks in the parties reserved for travelers. Aircraft generally hide rest areas dedicated to them.

Here is the secret room where the hostesses of the air sleep during the flights

This media journalist Insider took a 12 -hour flight with
Air New Zealandin part to test the company. On board the plane, a Boeing 777-300er, she noticed that the navigating staff rested in secret parts in the eyes of passengers. Curious, she went to see what it is.

Probably thanks to his Journalist statusshe was entitled to access these secret pieces. The plane is made up of two separate rest areas. A two -bed room is prepared for pilots. Another room made up of eight beds is reserved for air hostesses and stewards. She noticed that the two rest areas are narrow. On the other hand, the pilots have more comfort than hostesses and stewards.

Airlines impose breaks on their navigating staff

These areas for pilots, air hostesses and stewards are designed for one purpose: to rest. Air hostesses and pilots indeed take breaks during long-haul flights to fill up with energy and recharge your batteries. Besides, this is not an option. These breaks are imposed by airlines themselves.

In some countries, the law also requires Navigating staff to take breaks. It is therefore necessary for planes to contain these rest areas. The breaks generally last two hours and carried out by rolling, explained an Air New Zealand representative in Insider. Thus, there are always pilots present in the cockpit and air hostesses or stewards in service.

These areas are inaccessible for passengers

These rest areas also have two leather seats and two beds. By exploring the two pieces, the journalist forInsider noticed that they are strictly prohibited to passengers. In addition, the two rest rooms are located just above the passengers. On the Air New Zealand plane, the access door is located near the cockpit, not far from business class.

After this door, A hidden staircase leads to a room above the economy class. Access to the rest room for pilots is, however, separate. The doors of each area are however identical and have in common to be well hidden. This allows you to protect yourself from unwanted visitors, said an Air New Zealand Air Hostess. Access to the two rooms also requires an access code.
