If you want to do Long-Haul DON'T join EK

We are the only 777 operator who's put the pilots crew rest in the back of the A/C and its crap, the others all have the proper rest facility in the front behind the flight deck. Very nice.

It's cramped, noisy and in the ceiling at the very back of the A/C, ten bunks, two for pilots, eight for the crew. They get progressively smaller as you go forward and ours are at the very end, the smallest of them all. you can't even sit up in them, no joke, it's crap.

I joined EK to do Long-Haul, now I don't bother. I've not been to most of our destinations because of the appalling crew rest. My dogs at home have more sleeping space!!!
