It didn't take much on the Israeli team's part, but it meant the world to the Kenyan team. Hell, the Kenyan team could've ended up with long-term, perhaps permanent, injuries due to their shoes.

"Flight attendant reveals 'secret' bedroom on long-haul flights"

I'd rather have the flight crew sleep comfortably in shifts in beds than together at the controls tyvm! Long haul flights can cause unnecessary complacency/hypnosis, and it's a Long. Way. Down.

As many trips to Fiji as I've made over the years, 10 1/2 hours non-stop from Los Angeles, I never gave that a thought. Just figured the 2nd crew was seated somewhere, waiting for their shift to start.

 

When I went to Australia I went 'downstairs' and played some euchre (they needed a 4th) while many of the crew was sleeping. 90% of the passengers were out, and there was only one attendant walking the aisles (and another posted in first class)

 

The galleys are awesome on Quantas, they are set up as self serve for all but alcohol and meals. All the fresh fruit,.drinks and snacks you just got yourself.

And there was probably more than one room, I only saw flight attendants where I was, no actual flight crew.

 

A comedian friend of mine has been flown first class, flat bed a few times. His seat folds flat in front of a TV, they origami up walls, and give him pajamas and blankets. Only 5-10x co$t

 

Here ya go mate, sorry best I can do....

I hate the 787-9's myself, 747-400's were much nicer, IMO.
