Check seating and sleeping layouts.
A typical heavy cabin runs 35 to 42 feet, six-and-a-half feet of stand-up height, and divides into two or three zones — forward club, mid dining, aft berth or stateroom. Stand-up galley with full crew, dual lavatories, vanity room, full Wi-Fi with Ka-band streaming. Most types carry a flight attendant standard.
