A340 Bunk

Just curious where this is located. accessed from the cockpit or cabin?

Is it fixed or retractable (like MD-11s)?

Anyone?

There is a permanent bunk behind the cockpit which is a double bunk. Cockpit crew use this one as in our case.

There is also a LDMCR Lower Deck Multi Crew Rest which is just behind the wingbox in the aft cargo hold which is inserted on longhaul. It basically a specially made Cargo container ( in basic terms, but very smart and modern) joined into a double unit and inserted first, into the cargo hold. It has I think space for 7 crew resting ( possibly 6, not able to count at that time of the night), very smart and a better place to fall a sleep.

Just don't climb in the one which is supposed to hold the dearly-departed.

Sounds like quite a pleasant way to travel!

Has anyone got any pics?

I don't think it is wise to discuss hiding places near to flight decks on Aeroplanes guys!

Think first!

No, but we can discuss every other detail such as range, speed, instruments, naviagation, equipment etc.!

Just because you don't see shadows doesn't mean they are not there!!
