A sneak peek inside the rest space of an Emirates plane

Have you ever wondered how flight attendants manage on long-haul flights? Crew members take it in turns to go on shifts on long flights. Now, perhaps the first time, we have a sneak peek inside the rest space of an Emirates plane. Big carriers like Emirates provide luxurious rest spaces for their crews, and today we have a guided tour of one such space. Normally these rest spaces are located above the main cabin, and include bunks where crew members can sleep.
Open the door and step up the stairs into a narrow space where there are eight bunks, televisions and air conditioning. This is the crew rest space.

The wealthier carriers, like Emirates, adopt the strategy of having better equipment when the plane is first made. For example, as we can see in the video, some crew rest spaces have televisions and even a solo space for each person.
An airplane will have two rest spaces, one for pilots and another for crew.

Usually the rest space is in the rear of the plane. For example, we see that sometimes it’s by the kitchen or facing the kitchen. There’s a little trapdoor, which is usually not opened by normal travelers. The position on a Boeing 747 is usually next to the washrooms, so it’s more easily opened.
The rest space is well hidden to allow the crew to rest properly. It’s often above the main cabin, and the door might be mistaken for a toilet or a storeroom. But in fact it’s leading to the crew’s hideaway.

Most of the airplanes in use in Taiwan were manufactured quite some time ago. So normally they don’t have such high-end facilities as this.
This might be the first time viewers have seen into this secret but vital part of a plane. Airplane crews remind viewers that these spaces are secret for a good reason – next time you’re on a flight, don’t go barging in, or the whole plane will suffer!

比頭等艙還舒服! 阿聯酋航空機艙神秘空間曝光
2024-06-13
執行長程航班勤務，飛行員和空服員一定要輪班休息，才能保障乘客飛行安全，有阿聯酋航空的空服員，為大家揭密機組員休息空間，裡面不僅有柔軟的床墊、枕頭、棉被，還有電視機、空調等設備，讓網友直呼，看起來比頭等艙還舒服。
打開門，沿著樓梯往上走，狹小空間內竟設有8張床鋪，還有電視機、空調等設備，這裡是機組人員的休息室。

“如果比較有錢的，像是阿聯酋航空，他們所採取的策略就是，一開始出廠的時候，它配備的東西就比較好，像我們在影片中看到，有的組員休息室，它是有電視的，甚至就是讓你每一個人，有一個獨立的空間”
據了解，一架飛機會有2間機組人員休息室，分別提供機師和機組員使用。

“(休息室)都是在機尾會比較多，像我們看到的話，有的話會是在廚房，面對廚房的時候，有一個小小的暗門，那個的話，就比較不會被一般的旅客所打開。如果說像747以前位置的話，大部分都是在洗手間旁邊，所以這就比較容易被打開”
為了讓空服員好好休息，休息室的空間都十分隱密，通常位在主機艙上方，入口可能被誤以為是洗手間或儲藏室的門，實際上後方是通往休息室的樓梯。

“大部分在台灣的機型，畢竟出廠的時間已經比較早了，所以通常來說的話，都不會有這麼高級的配備”
飛機神秘空間大揭密，帶觀眾一探究竟，不過提醒民眾，休息室只提供飛行員和空服員使用，乘客可別因為一時好奇而擅自闖入。
