I think the interior looks sleek. Nothing tacky in that outfit.Cheers

Wouldn't be such a bad trip being able to sleep on board that beauty!

I often wonder what the point is of having a regular bed on an aircraft (other than sex); I mean you can't be sure of an undisturbed night's sleep, given the possible inset of turbulence. How do you strap down in bed? What if you're just dozing off when an attendant wakes you to tell you you have to get up and strap yourself into a seat?

The size is about right. I can still set up my FSX there on the table, ha!

I think that would be hilarious to have an FSX setup in there. The pilot is flying from LAX to Honolulu and the guy in the back is flying from LAX to Honolulu in FSX using PMDG's NGX-700 to see if he can do better... :( At least it would give him something to do for the flight, but a bit of a challenge on landing when he is trying to land a PMDG NGX in FSX inside of a real 737-700. The motion would allow realism, especially during landing and takeoff.Cheers

From what I understand and have seen in other pics is there is usually a large "strap" that runs across the bed to snuggle you to the bed in case of that turbulence. Doesn't seem very comfortable though to have that heavy down comforter on top of you then a nylon strap over that.
