Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel and to a great video about the hidden or secret bedrooms in airplanes. Have never wondered where the pretty flight attendants go to get some rest during a 12 hour flight for example? Or have you spotted those mysterious doors, very often with an electric locking mechanism but no placard letting you know what’s behind that door.
Well behind these doors is a very steep and narrow staircase leading into the crew rest compartment or better know as the bunk. And the come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Don’t expect a large king size bed but a small narrow space with a few cushions, a proper duvet/blanket and a few gadgets such as an oxygen mask, PBE (protective breathing equipment) and flash light. But most importantly the inter phone, with which other colleagues could call you in case of an emergency or wake you up once your rest time is over.
But see more within the video!
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

One time I was allowed to sleep on this bed back in 1996 or 1997, due to my heavy motion sickness, flight attendants guided me there. I appreciated the generosity of Singapore Airlines.
@Suphakanya Jantasuk Ha,ha. No, that is not my way, but I promised them to take for dinner if they would ever come around my city.

Are you sure it was Singapore Airlines? I flew Singapore Airlines and was never charged a separate price for food, ever.
@@annabelgrace1267 I am sorry the way I wrote was confusing. I meant the ticket price.
Vortexduraace yah the food was good also the flight attendants were nice also.
Were u sick
So there is small hidden capsule hotel built-in into airplane... Next you are going to say there is secret casino and undercargo market.

Well. There’s a shower and bar on most Emirates flights so I wouldn’t be surprised
LOL
You never know
😀they have better seats than we have....
Complaining about the small bed, but I'd take the bed over ANY seat I've ever sat in on an airplane, including first class.
Some first class seats turn into beds, and everything else is better and more comfortable in first class than the pilots or attendants get. May not be in some airlines, but some Arab, some southern Asian, probably a few European airlines have these types of first class.
We all know how cool you are now because we know you flew first class
I think he means the lame first class ones lol, the ones that are only slightly larger and cushioned than the normal ones
bruh all i needs is a vacant bathroom
Emirates?
Thank you for this video! I always wondered how the flight attendants and the pilot and copilot weren’t exhausted. I’m glad you have this in the airline industry. I appreciate all you for us all
I mean those bunks do look better than economy class seats.
INDIGO BLUEoO i can’t sleep during long flights because the seats are so uncomfortable ! and it bothers me so much, can I ask for a bed ? 😂
@@sweetboss4785 when i fly economy the easiest way for me to fall asleep is to put put my hands on the table and my head on top of them.
Its just that when you wake up you will be burping.
And business class seats
@@tnikoli40 I'm too tall for that to be comfortable or even possible depending on the flight and the pitch of the seats.

Am I the only one who thought they just sit in that chair all day?
Nope

This was never a question you asked though
ちゃんRED that’s the point
Zews enstenctz omg same
I have had the pleasure of a glimpse in to the sleeping quarters several times on different flights. As I have restless legs, I tend to stand at the rear of the plane a lot and get to talking to the crew. You'd be surprised how open they are about their work. So when I asked about their sleeping quarters (I knew the door led to them, but I honestly thought is was below deck...) they showed me the 'upstairs' (as noone was resting at the time). Just check out the last few rows of seats in the middle....some of the overhead lockers don't actually have handles, as they are fake :)
Idk why this is in my recommended and why I find this interesting but ok

I’m an MD. On a trans Atlantic flight i was called to attend to a fellow passenger who went into cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, he died. With this, 3 other passengers and myself pulled his body along the aisle to the front of the plane where we were told by the crew to place him in one of these berths where the crew would normally sleep. (This was on the same floor, directly behind the cockpit.) That is where the body remained for the remainder of the flight until we landed.
Thank you Doctor
This is an info I never knew I needed. I’m mind blown, I never knew there was actual bedrooms hidden away in aircrafts!
There is. But not for us steerage folks.

@Nguyên Trần Khôi First, Singapore Airlines hasnt operated the 747 in 2012. Secondly, the 747 does not have the range with passengers and cargo to fly from Singapore to anywhere over New York. Third, your comment is one of the most idiocratic statements I've ever seen, and judging by your name... I'm not surprised that 3rd world education produces dumber than rocks idiots like you. Before trying to comment or joke about aviation, try to find a little understanding the the topic you are talking about.
@@yrmendiratta4475 we have to enter a code to enter the cockpit
Forget business class, I would rather have my seat in the crew rest area
I’m a flight attendant. I was working a flight from LAX to Sydney on a 747.
When it was time for my break I climbed the stairs to the bunk room, and I heard loud yelling. Someone had left the door to the bunks unlocked, and a man was in one of the bunks. The flight attendants were pissed and yelling at him to leave. The guy said: Oh it’s Okay, I booked this bed months ago :)
what happened after?
Lol
I'd be mad too if I booked a bed and the crew took it! ;-)
Captain Joe let him know what the door was lmao.
@@RunaroundStar km
No wonder why pilots are well paid.
It involves so much responsibility, study, sacrifices and deprivation of sleep...
Not to mention the life risk (despite it not being so high these days as it was years ago).
They surely deserve to be well paid and respected.
Great video btw. God bless ya!
@@jenykoo
Sorry about your cynacalism but the demand for part-time jobs is high and if Pilots mess up their job multiple people can die
Konstantin Kuzminykh 400+ people’s lives aren’t on the line if a part time food service staff member messes up
@@jenykoo well not bashing those working at fast food places like McDonald's but they dont require anywhere near the skill of a pilot. There job is far more simple with much less skill required. Pilots have much more training. And there life is at more risk as one cockup and the entire plane could crash and not only killing the passengers but themself as well.
After student debt. Get paid less than bus driver.
@@jenykoo "pilots deserve good pay and respect" does not imply that other professions don't. Pushing past the snipe at globalism, all jobs have their difficult moments and acknowledging the difficulties of one that isn't your's seems like a mature thing to do. If you're anti-globalization, perhaps try bonding with your fellow worker.
Hmmm... l hope I'm not the only one, who can imagine other stuff going on there, not just sleeping...
Whoops.....
No god please no
Turbulent times my friend. Turbulent times. ;-)
Realisticlly, not worth it. Imagine being sleepy as hell and to engage into energy intensive enjoyment. With the little time you actually have to rest a bit. This is crazy and fastest way to collapse and get fired because you cant fullfill your job.

My girlfriend was a Flight Attendant for American. She flew from San Jose, Ca to Narita, Japan and back once a week 20 years ago. She told me of the rest bunks on the 777 above the wings. That was about a 12 hour flight depending on the winds. She used to brag that she walked across the Pacific every week. I used to brag that she was my high mileage girlfriend.

im terrified of planes, flying and heights, but this channel is making it so much easier to deal with constant worries o f "we're all gonna die" "what if this/that happens?" and just anxiety. so thank you for taking the time to explain more about your job!
There are around 10,000 flights in the world any given day. You should install flight radar and that’ll give you an idea of how many planes this looks like in the sky. It made me much happier to fly.
Just let me tell you that security in aircrafts it is very very high, you dont even imagine how many variables have to be checked and ok before an airplane takes off for making sure everything is going to be okay :)
Does worrying about it make it better? Or less likely to happen?
No. It only makes things worse.

On navy ships, those beds would be stacked 3 high instead of 2. They’re called ‘coffin racks’.
I discovered on of these on accident. I was flying and was gonna go to the bathroom but i wasnt familiar with that plane so i opened the wrong door, and for some reason it wasnt locked. When i opened it i saw a staircase and i was extremely surprised because it was a small airplane with only one floor, so out of curiousity i climbed a few steps to get a look and saw three beds close to eachother and some lights. Was certainly interesting. And i didnt get caught haha
Hahah lies

All of these occupational youtubers giving us a look into their professional "when I grow up I want to be" jobs, feels like a new version of take your child to work day.
I often fly from Dallas-Ft. Worth to Sydney and this is what I think I remember one of the Qantas flight attendants telling me of their schedule during the 16-17 hour flight: There are usually twice the number of staff on board then there would be on a much shorter flight. All flight attendants are on deck during the first two hours (takeoff phase) and the last two hours (landing phase) of flight. It is interesting to see so many of the flight crew during those times! In between those two phases the first shift will be on deck for the first 6-6.5 hours while the second shift is resting/sleeping, then they switch shifts at the halfway point of the trip.
Absolute cobblers !! no long haul airline in the world doubles up the crew config, just so half can sleep, think of all that weight of 16 extra Cabin crew, bags, suitcsase, food, etc etc, i should no, i did this job for 30+ years long haul, and 5 short haul, rest is divided by 3 or more, to give an extended Flight duty period
Joe could you please make a video about " how airports taking care of avoid bird strikes?"
It will be interesting!
They used a kill command
I can answer that one. You often have bird handlers with birds of prey around the airports or runways. However, that is not ideal for some airports, and you will have bird scarers, which are like a shot gun sound. You can never 100% stop a bird strike, however, it is very rare at an actual take off and landing. It is more common away from the airport, either coming in to land or after taking off. My source of information, myself. Ex Her Majesty's Royal Air Force operational flying base.
@@MarkNorville thank you for your valuable experience
@@MarkNorville That is the kind of source I like. Do the birds of pray just scare other birds away or do they hunt birds that are close to the airport?

Personally, I have known for a long time that there was a small bunk that the pilots could go into to get some sleep on long flights.
However, I didn't realize there were also bunks for the flight crews at the back of the plane.
Makes total sense of course.

Broooo what I literally flew LAX to Frankfurt I cant believe I didn’t notice the attendants switching out
That was my last flight too. I never paid attention to the attendants 🤔 I usually sleep for 5 mins and spend 9 hours 55 mins figuring out a comfortable position
Its enough space for the good pilot and pretty flight attendant to do quickie
But can you sleep together with a flight attendant? 😏
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Theres gonna be some turbulance...
Yes, yes you can ;-)
There's always space for one more ;)
The real question is if you can sleep with flight attendants;) The s is important;)
I used to clean these, I'd literally run to them on the JAL, Ana & Nippon planes because of how clean they were. Actually the Japanese planes were always so nice to clean. The beds I cleaned were much smaller than these.
I recall the room being right at the back, near where we'd have that rising truck with food. With a very narrow steep stairway, the room was more square than what was shown at the end. There was a very low ceiling, maybe 4 maybe 5ft high and 8 beds in a similar arrangement but with much less headroom as they were double /bunk beds. To clean you head to be on all fours.

Finally the video I've been waiting for! I knew about these already, but a decent video from the best pilot on the internet is so very welcome!
The crew on the A340's I flew on from S.F.O. to München back in the late 90's and in 2012 went down the stairs by the five lavatories and through a door with some sort of keypad. It looked like the crew rest was under the coach section. Always great flights; free booze, three meals, two movies, and all the snacks you could eat. Lufthansa rocks. Good times.

This is better than most of those stealth living videos that’s popped up on my TH-cam recommendations list lately
Hi Joe.
Can you make a video showing how you get around the 747 freighter, like coming in and going to the cockpit, what kind of crew you have for flights of different distances, how does rest and meals work, etc. Thanks!!
The video does appear to show the crew rest area of a B747F. Which is located aft on the upper deck.
@Sccratlanta don't know about freighters but some passenger airlines do not feed the flying crew neither pilots nor cabin crew
Some freight liner carry passengers too
What???? A pilot knocked out tired, getting 3 hours of sleep and being exhausted? Nooooooo that never happens, pilots never fly exhausted xD
:D Just the same like in truck and vessel transport business, whatever it is.. If it makes money by moving ,sleeping long becomes a luxury. But pilots are better off in general due to the huge responsibility
jackpot long haul pilots are usually awake and ready to fly for a while as they report to the airport for flights like this since they are aware of their responsibilities. Reason why Joe expected a 3 hour nap was that just before a minor disgrace by the senior KLM lead pilot at a place called Tenerife pilots were told to limit not only flight time to 10 hours but also time chilling waiting for airports to open and that was seen as a major factor involved when a landing gear was a bit low on takeoff and decapitated another 747 in cloudy weather. Also Joe once said they do get a 3 day holiday to run around LAX but he says the human body would need 8 to safely take off for their return flight.
I mean it’s 3 and a half hours in 12 hours that’s not that bad tbh
Well that's terrifying.
@@kristingallo2158 the long haul crews know what they are getting into. the point is not to hold the pilots into more than a 10 hour shift per 24 hours clock and under standards be considered tired before they hit the critical landing phase.
On some 767s and all narrowbody planes, longer flights generally will require several revenue seats be used as crew rest. In the case of United's Island Hopper route from Hawaii to Guam, the point A to B duration is 16 hours. Seats 1A & 1B in business/first class are reserved for a second set of pilots and seats 2A & 2B are blocked off to allow the pilots to have a lie-flat recline. Due to the remote locations served, the Island Hopper also has a Boeing 737 mechanic onboard seated in a extra legroom economy seat. As for the smaller wide body planes, several economy class seats are allocated as a FA crew rest & include a privacy curtain, and extra legroom / recline.
My ex who was an FA told me a lot of "stuff" goes on there 👌😉
Tj Javier maybe rhats why u dumped her
Good thing shes your ex.
Hence the "ex".
Coming from someone (me) who works those flights and airplanes a lot, no.
Probably depends on the airline.. Some probably have more strict rules than others.
Ive knew that crew compartment because my mom's friend works as a flight attendant and she tour us in a plane
That's where the Mile High Club meets while they are flying
All jokes aside I don't fucking get the joy of doing that like in 2016 I went to use the toilet on a flight now it had been a good 5 years since I had actually needed to do so on a flight so I had grown a bit but I open the door start to go inside and I'm like wtf are they taking the fucking piss here there's barely enough room for 1 person here never mind 2 Holy shit
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 gotta get it in where you can fit it in my guy
I’m glad to know you guys are comfy while in struggling in my little seat
"Where's the pretty flight attendant that served me earlier?" Ouch to the new one 🤣
I work for a company that builds crew rests both aft and forward. They are interesting the difference between overhead and lower deck. I wire them up and you can tell how much an airline cares about the staff by the amenities installed.
I’m just curious but would you mind sharing which airlines has the best amenities for their staff?
Oh man why do I feel tired after watching this
Captain joe your videos are always so informative & so calm you are. Really appreciate your job.
the design of your logo in the beginning of the video is genius!
I love Captain Joe. Always nice and friendly
Why don't long haul airlines offer bunks to passengers instead of seats? Not the reclining first class kind, I mean stacked bunks that have the same kind of density as seats in coach. I would much rather lie down for my flight than sit, assuming I have a tablet with stuff to watch/read when not sleeping.
Lets start an airline together!
Safety is a definite issue besides space and weight considerations.
@@sierraromeomike Yea that's what I was thinking. They want us all to be awake and alert during takeoff and landing, with eyes adjusted to outside lighting conditions. But I'm sure the airline that Joe and I are starting can engineer a solution to that ;) Maybe adjust interior lighting to match the outside and have live camera feeds play on all the monitors + a good PA system? The authorities can be convinced. Same thing with space and weight. It should be possible to engineer a comfortable bunk with a footprint similar to a seat in coach. Just look at all the extra space above your head that's unused.
@@p11111 and you must also be able to evacuate the plane in 90 sec . Even with proper lighting would be problematic in that configuration
Sergiu Calancea I still think we can overcome that. With proper communication (monitors, PA) and perhaps having the bunk covers be open for takeoff/landing, I think we can get the plane empty in 90 secs or less. Maybe even have inflatable cushions on the floor so people can jump straight out of their bunk. I totally agree that it's an engineering and logistics challenge, but not impossible!
I'm a merchant sailor and it always shocks me how close a pilot's cockpit is to a ships bridge, even down to the ranks and handovers.
@Daniel Leonard
All about tradition, after all they are both forms of "ships". Essentially the sky is an ocean of air, it's even blue too!
A secret room?! Where a pilot and stewardess thing happens. A turbulence!!
You have your own privat room. PilotAlexander has his privat room and the bar in the A380😛😂
If this is not a joke , can you provide a video link ?
@@thegreatujo Let me explain it to you so pilot Alexander has his own private room but the A380 has its own bar in first-class what jeize here is trying to say he has a room with no one else in it and a bar where he can go find a hook up I do hope this helps you understand
Wth lol "Privat'"
@@liamcollins6351 p
I've worked for an airline in the middle east. The secret doors to the crew quarters can be found at the last galley (kitchen like section) 😊
Nice video, it’s so good that you, as a pilot, can tell us passengers your side of the story.
Oh yeah yeah
Thatbf1nub oh yeah yeah
Not gonna lie they look so comfortable also can you do a video on how pilots entertain themselves on long flights?
touch there selves
MrKidFREAK 😂😂😂
Don't know how this ended up in my recommendations....but I found it very cool and interesting. Never thought about this before, but now I know. :)
Wow another awesome pilot/flight channel. I been watching Mentor pilot too. So much info
"Don't compare them to a 5 star hotel."
I'm a submarine veteran...your rest area may not be a 5 star hotel, but I can tell you, it's not lacking in volume, either. To me, that's a 5 star hotel right there. Almost a cruise ship! Lol!
And you have women! We have women on subs now but I'm from the days of yore.
Being 10,000 below sea in tight compartments....hmm, not much excitement there. I always have this fear of the sub flooding. Maybe from watching too much "Hunt for Red October".
@@shihlin1 fun thing i have phobia but still would want to sleep in a sub marine rather than an airplane, because i have trust issues lol
I definitely need that sticker on my pilot bag!!!!😍😍✈️✈️
VASAviation - nice to c u on this channel )
@therealvinceoffer me too about your english

buy SAS if there is
