Boeing introduced a large cabin crew rest area and a smaller rest area for pilots.
The Boeing 747-8 features both a pilot rest area near the flight deck and a larger crew rest area in the rear.
KEY POINTS
- Lufthansa's 747-8 crew rest area includes a front room with lockers, a phone, and ten beds.
- The Airbus A380 offers more advanced crew rest areas, including beds with doors and in some cases entertainment screens.
- FAA regulations require different classes of rest areas depending on crew duty, with quadjets using class one bunks.
- Some widebodies like the Boeing 767 improvise crew rest with modified passenger seats instead of dedicated bunks.
