What's Behind One of the 'Private' Doors in a British Airways 747

Ever wondered where your flight attendants sleep on long-hauls? The hidden cubby holes on a plane have always fascinated us (especially when we see things like this—so we couldn’t have been more thrilled when a rogue FA left the door open to their digs on our recent British Airways flight from Heathrow to JFK.

Right at the back of the 747-400, behind row 50-something and beside the bathrooms, the “staff only” door was ajar and revealing...steps! And a little ladder! Rarely have we seen something so enticing.

Since we’re not ones for being wrestled to the ground as terrorists, we didn’t dare climb up, but we’re totally hoping that up those stairs, something cozy like this is what was lurking.

Oh to be a jetsetting, cubby-sleeping flight attendant. Sigh.

Emirates Qatar et al

Actually Emirates, Qatar have these in their long haul 777 & A380. Steps going up in 747 or A380 is kind of believable but I found steps going up in 777 on Emirates & Qatar !! Also, in Emirates they clear out about 10 middle rows in the back of the plane and have a built a room for cabin rest area.
