The little-known hidden rooms inside every plane and the reason why you'll never see them

Long haul-flights can be some of the most uncomfortable and gruelling experiences of your life - maybe I'm being dramatic, but it can feel like that when you get stuck with the middle seat between two snorers.

All passengers want to do on their travels is to have a nice lie down, stretch their legs and have two whole arm rests to themselves.

Is it too much to ask for?

You might think so, but it turns out that these desired rooms do actually exist, and it's everything you could have dreamed of.

There is a world where you aren't crammed into a cabin like a bunch of economy sardines waiting to be let out in a few hours, and it's not called business class.

A flight attendant recently revealed that they themselves have their own 'secret' rooms so that they can get some time away from the chaos on a long-haul flight, and explained why people like me and you will never come within touching distance of them.

It's a bizarre one, but there is actually a good reason behind it.

These dorms are fully equipped with mattresses, linens, lights, air conditioning, the works - this is news to me.

In fact, newer models feature bedrooms above the main cabin but older planes will have the rooms closer to the hold.

United Airlines flight attendant Susannah Carr revealed all to CNN, as she revealed that the rooms are very well hidden from others on aircrafts.

Carr, who regularly flies on Boeing 767, 777 and 787 aircrafts, revealed: “It’s a little bit like Disney – we keep the magic behind closed doors.”

Calling the rooms 'secure', she didn't detail how they would access it, but shared that passengers have tried to get in: “Occasionally we have people that think it’s a bathroom door and they try to open it, but we just show them the way to the actual restroom instead.”

Apparently the rooms are comfortable, as long as you're below six foot, and it turns out that some aircrafts don't even have full beds, instead featuring a lowly recliner with a thick curtain that blocks out any noise or light from the cabin.

“We’ve had passengers open the curtains, looking for something or thinking they’d be going into the galley, so it’s not necessarily the best rest,” she admitted.

Finnair flight attendant Karoliina Åman also spoke to CNN, revealing that on any flight over six hours, 10 percent of the time is dedicated to resting, which is crucial.

Flight attendants do nothing in this time, as they need to be on the go when they're on call.

Karoliina revealed that it is hard to shut off completely, often listening to an audiobook or reading to rest before getting back on shift, with sleeping not being a go-to option for her.

Carr also detailed that in terms of time slots, it's all dependant on seniority - but it's not just that aspect, apparently seniority takes priority on every step of the way in the aviation industry.

So next time you fly long-haul, look up. That's where a flight attendant is probably snoozing away, lying on a 180 degree bed. Sigh.
