I went inside the secret airplane rooms where flight attendants and pilots sleep. I'd much rather be a pilot.

For years, I boarded long-haul flights without thinking twice about whether pilots and flight attendants rest during the ride. Where they would rest never crossed my mind.
Then, I learned that airline workers have required breaks on long-haul flights, and the aircraft are designed with hidden rooms for these much-needed rest periods.
In 2021, I saw the rooms firsthand when I boarded Air New Zealand's Boeing 777-300ER.
I explored two rooms — one where pilots rest and another for flight attendants. Perhaps the difference shouldn't have surprised me. Co-pilots, who make a median salary of $120,700, had more amenities. Meanwhile, flight attendants, who make closer to $85,500, had a much more basic room. Take a look.
