See the secret airplane bedrooms where flight attendants sleep on long-haul flights
Flight attendants are humans too, and just like everyone else, they need to sleep on long-haul flights. Most Boeing 777 and 787 airliners have a secret stairway that leads to a tiny set of windowless bedrooms for the cabin crew — and few people know they even exist.

you must've thought the same thing I did, at first glance....I initially thought that sign said "8 persons per bunk"talk about getting crowded...but then maybe this is how the "MILE-HIGH" club got it's name? I know...sick mind here :-)
As I understand it, there are mandated guidelines for providing rest periods and accordingly suitable rest places and areas , both for cockpit crew and the cabin crew. Yes, guidelines differ for the two, the pilots and thee stews !
God bless those who make our respective lives comfortable during travel. On ground, on sea or in the air !

I once flew United from Detroit to Osaka Japan. Between the boarding time, the hour delay on the tarmac and a 13 hour flight, we were on the plane for just over 15 hours. I wondered where the attendants rested-all I saw for them was jump seats. This explains a lot, and if they got to rest a few hours while the plane was quiet and "asleep", that's great. No wonder they were all so chipper. After 15 hours on my feet I'd probably be cranky and annoyed with everyone. But they weren't!
United has never flown the DTW to Osaka route. Northwest used to here and there at times .
Perhaps it was a partner. I know that I got United miles for the trip.
