The A350's upstairs crew rest
is located in the very back of the plane.
If you're sitting anywhere
from row 40 back to the last row, the crew are sleeping right above you.
At rows 40 through to 44 on
the Qatar Airbus A350 there are no overhead luggage bins – it's just a solid
moulding.
This is what Airbus is
improving for the new A350-1000 model.
Flight attendants who go
to take time out, punch the combination code on a discrete locked door and
climb up into a hidden loft equipped with beds.
There are six bunks, with one
set aside for the most senior crew member – here labelled as the Chief Purser,
although the title is equivalent to Cabin Service Manager (CSM) and
similar.
Each bunk is seperated from
the others by curtains.

Airbus A350's secret loft where cabin crew relax and sleep” published in Australian
Business Traveller.

ReplyDeleteAs long as they are not asleep some 40 rows in front of me I won't mind!
