Quoting od-bwh (Thread starter): I know this sounds a bit awkward, but is there a way passengers can use the crew rest area when it's not occupied? I sometimes get a desperate need to stretch out when traveling long distance in economy. |

Quoting A330 (Reply 7): Even the very thought about being allowed to use it is disrespectful to the crew. |
Quoting chrisp390 (Reply 8): The crew rest is a very cramped area with small bunks, it is by no means an area you could "stretch out". |
Quoting vv701 (Reply 15): My experience is limited to a very privileged if quick visit to view the overhead crew rest area on a BA772ER. It comprised four full sized bunks, two forward and two aft of the rest area entrance. There was more than adequate room to stretch out. |

Quoting smi0006 (Reply 14): Galley is the crews office. Perhaps not the best place for yoga. It's an aircraft not a gym. If you can't manage and conduct yourself appropriately book a stop over. |
Quoting airzim (Reply 24): but I had an old boss who was battling the flu on a TPAC flights on an Asian based carrier. He we sitting in Business Class upstairs and upon take off, snuck into the crew rest in the rear of the 744, crawled into a bunk and managed to get a few hours of sleep. |
Quoting etops1 (Reply 27): Great ! He goes into the crew bunks with the flu . Now the crew can't go in there to rest because this inconsiderate person has contaminated the bunks ! |
Quoting airzim (Reply 24): t might be insulting to crew members on this site, but I had an old boss who was battling the flu on a TPAC flights on an Asian based carrier.

I highly doubt this story. |
Quoting FlyHossD (Reply 29): Great - contaminate the crew rest area. Of course, going flying while experiencing the flu also exposes other passengers. Both are very inconsiderate things to do. |
Quoting Freshside3 (Reply 32): Some airlines had designated "crew rest seats" in Business Class, in the regular section but had a curtain hiding them. |

Quoting airzim (Reply 33): Not endorsing this behavior by any means. Just re-telling an experience. |
Quoting klm672 (Reply 5): Do yoga in the galley. |

Quoting canyonblue17 (Reply 43): Consider this, the cockpit, an area that is much more sensitive for many reasons, is often visited by those not flying the aircraft. |

Quoting tonystan (Reply 31): Please please please stop thinking galleys are spaces for you to stretch out in, they are NOT. They are the dedicated workspaces for the crew and should be kept as so. Of course pop your head in to grab a drink or a snack or to ask a crew member something but do not assume it's acceptable to just wander in and loiter or do your sweaty stretches. It's the equivalent of someone climbing on your office desk to do the same! |
Quoting Revo1059 (Reply 38): It does bring up an interesting point though. We all read about how you're supposed to get up and stretch/walk during long flights. Maybe long haul flights should provide a small space to do so. Just a thought. I've never considered the isle a good place to do it, but with no alternative it has to do. |
Quoting A320FlyGuy (Reply 48): I seem to recall when I was reading the TSB report on the Air France crash in Toronto back in 2005 that the flight was so oversold that there was a passenger sitting in the cockpit jumpseat as well as one or two passengers in the crew rest area.....but as a regular matter of business, no....no airline is going to let you into what is essentially a private, staff only area. |
