Cabin Crew Reveals What Really Happens When Flying

Can the cockpit be accessed from outside the plane?

The door to the cockpit is always closed and locked from within. However, the door can be opened with a unique code that only the flight crew and pilots know. That way, in the event of an emergency, a flight attendant would be able to access the room. There is also a camera inside which allows the pilot to see who is at the door prior to letting them enter.
