Discover the hidden gem on the American 787 Dreamliner that passengers are typically unaware of. A video surfaced showcasing a secret compartment designed exclusively for the flight staff to take a break during long flights. This hidden room, accessible via a staircase, leads to a cozy crew rest area equipped with beds and emergency oxygen supplies.

Comments on the video reveal a mix of surprise and intrigue. One user humorously noted, "When the title said it was for crew to have a rest, I thought it was just going to be the closet." Another cheekily commented, "Rest and.... other things...."

Debates arose over whether this space should be considered 'hidden.' One user clarified, "It's not 'hidden,' we're just not allowed up there," while another added, "The fact that something isn't accessible to the general public doesn't make it 'secret' or 'hidden'."

Some commenters shared personal anecdotes, with one stating, "I joined the mile high club on a flight to Chicago last year. I enjoyed it so much, I hope to do it again soon, maybe with a partner next time."

The video also sparked some light-hearted remarks about the crew's activities, with one user quipping, "6x crew members in the crew rest. ‘I thought you were flying the plane?’"

For aviation enthusiasts, another comment provided additional insight: "There is a second crew rest above the forward galley space on the 787, and other widebody aircraft too. That way the pilots don't have to shuffle through the whole plane to catch some Zs."

This revelation about the hidden room on the American 787 Dreamliner offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes life of flight staff, providing them a much-needed sanctuary during long-haul flights.

It's not "hidden," we're just not allowed up there.
