I haven't seen Golden Compass.

You're right though. Passengers generally travelled in the gondola underneath, although I seem to recall some of them moved the passenger spaces into the "balloon" part but I can't find any mention of that.

You can't see the gondola very well in this view (it's sort of sticking down at the front). There's a better photo at the top of http://www.oldbeacon.com/beacon/airships/grafzep.htm (lots of good photos on the page) and you can see window at the "nose" but I don't how accessible they'd be to passengers.

This is a photo of obsevation windows on the Hindenburg, but that's inside the gondola http://www.garemaritime.com/item.php?id=636

Just for completeness, some interior plans of GZ http://balduin.wordpress.com/2006/10/22/graf-zeppelin-lz-127-plans/
