The aircraft further includes an overhead storage section positioned generally above the ceiling portion of the main passenger cabin. The overhead galley/crew rest system includes a galley cart storage area disposed in this overhead storage section, which is capable of storing multiple galley carts. This galley cart storage area defines a generally planar cart plane. A walkway is provided that generally extends through the overhead storage section. The walkway is generally positioned between the plurality of storage binds and generally below the generally planar cart plane. A stairway interconnects the main passenger cabin and the walkway. Similarly, a cart lift mechanism interconnects the main passenger cabin to the overhead storage section for individually raising and lowering the plurality of galley carts. Furthermore, a plurality of sleeping berths and pursuer's's station may be included within this overhead storage section.
