I believe there were flight attendant jumpseats in some of the galleys (not the solo jumpseats near the exits) on the L1011's. I just saw a video of a L1011 cabin, and there was a large coat closet in the galley. Did the galley jumpseat fold into the wall to allow for the coat closet? Any help would be appreciated.

I flew on TF-ABV in 1997 at was seated at the 3rd door. Adjacent to this door was a galley which took up the width of the four seats in the centre section of seating. There was a rear facing fold up double bench seat at this location. Crew did not sit on this for take off or landing, but it was used during the flight for rests and I do remember watching a crew member do some paperwork sat there. Immediately above it was the coat rack, which ran into the ceiling.

At TWA our L10's had fold away jumpseats at service center 2 directly across from the elevators (L2/R2) and at service center 3 which was at L3/R3. There were also 2 jumpseats in the lower galley with fold down tables although they were never occupied for takeoff or landing.

Those jumpseats would have been used for extra, non-faa required F/As since the ones required to meet the 1:50 rule would be sitting at a jump seat adjacent to an exit. If an airline had more F/As than required and every door was already covered then an F/A would sit in a galley seat. This is rare today since most airlines have cut crew levels to the bare minimum even leaving some F/As on wide bodies responsible for two doors.

The double seat in the Mid-Galley was for the Galley Crew (the two FA's that worked the underfloor galley) as the two seats in the underfloor galley were not usable for takeoff and landing

The rack that held the coats retracted up into the crown of the fuselage out of the way to save space. I always wondered if any coats fell off and got stuck up there . Once they were out of the way the bench could fold down.

Not at all airlines. Our R4 was the galley person assisted by R2. At TWA the service center jumpseats where for the 3rd first class and 3rd buisness class flight attendants.

Thanks for all of the replies, I really appreciate it!
It's been over 15 years since I was in a L1011, but I seem to remember that the double jumpseats were not like the usual double jumpseats found in most aircraft types. Did the whole seat fold into the wall when not in use? Or was it always visible (like the 737, M80, etc)?

The whole seat folded away. It ended up flush with the wall.
I am sure one of the Tristars I flew on had a double jump seat between doors 4 . On the bulkhead in front of the rear toilets as well. I vaguely remember sitting there one day when we operated a charter with two crews on board. I must admit I only sat there for take off and landing, I went and hid in the underfloor galley the rest of the flight.

It was Lockheed intention to have two galley attendants work the underfloor galley, there are two seats in the underfloor galley for their use in case of turbulence. However, the underfloor galley seats could not be used for takeoff or landing, so for takeoff and landing they had to be in the main cabin. So the double jump seat was installed forward of the Mid Cabin Service Center, across the cross isle from the galley lift doors. Once we delivered the aircraft the operator was free to establish their own procedures, as long as they didn't violate any FAR's.
