An aircraft comprising:

• an airframe including a fuselage, the fuselage comprising:
• a passenger cabin area formed within the fuselage, the passenger cabin area having a plurality of spaced apart seats;
• a floor defining a portion of the passenger cabin area;
• a crew rest module disposed within the passenger cabin area of the fuselage, the crew rest module comprising:
• an entrance module defined by at least two entrance module peripheral walls and having a seat supported on a floor portion of the entrance module, the floor portion being elevated above the floor of the passenger cabin area by a predetermined height;
• and
• a bunk module being separate from, but adjacent to, the entrance module, the bunk module defined by at least three bunk module peripheral walls,
• wherein the entrance module peripheral walls and the bunk module peripheral walls are sized to fit through a passenger door of the aircraft leading to the passenger cabin area of the aircraft when the aircraft is substantially assembled.

An aircraft comprising:

• a crew rest module disposed within a passenger cabin area of a fuselage of the aircraft, the crew rest module comprising:
• an entrance module defined by at least two entrance module peripheral walls and having first and second seats supported on a floor portion of the entrance module, the floor portion being elevated above a floor of the passenger cabin area by a predetermined height to enable placement of a galley cart underneath the floor portion of the entrance module;
• a first stairway for assisting with ingress and egress between the floor of the passenger cabin area and the entrance module;
• the first and second seats being secured to the floor portion of the entrance module in opposite facing directions and being laterally offset from one another;
• a moveable privacy curtain positioned between the first and second seats;
• a bunk module being separate from, but adjacent to, the entrance module, the bunk module defined by at least three bunk module peripheral walls;
• the bunk module further having a floor portion that is disposed elevationally above a floor portion of the entrance module, the bunk module having dimensions permitting a crew member to repose therein;
• a second stairway disposed adjacent the bunk module for assisting a crew member with ingress and egress between the entrance module and the bunk module;
• an alternate egress opening forming in the floor portion of the bunk module;
• and
• the entrance module peripheral walls and the bunk module peripheral walls being sized to fit through a passenger cabin door of the aircraft that leads to the passenger cabin area of the aircraft, when the aircraft is substantially assembled.
