The Boeing 777X, like most widebody long-haul aircraft, has crew rest areas for the pilots and cabin crew. These are important so that they can try and get some sleep on long sectors, reducing fatigue and ensuring alertness and safety during flights. These special areas are hidden away from the main passenger deck, usually above in the aircraft's crown or below in the cargo hold, accessed by a hidden door and a steep staircase.
