Sleep in a Jumbo Jet @ Stockholm Airport
January 12, 2009
The Stockholm airport is about to launch the first-ever "hostel in a jet" later this week. It's called the Jumbo Hostel. The story goes like this: Rich businessman + airplane fetish = accommodations for 72 just outside the entrance to Swedish hub Arlanda Airport. For around $300 a night, you too can enjoy sleeping inside the renovated Boeing 747; if you're lucky you might score one of the four rooms located in the original engines hanging off the wings.
There are multiple options for aviation aficionados—hostel standard, with several beds in one room (cheapest); a private room option that has you sharing showers and toilets in the corridors; and the luxury cockpit suite, which has a private shower and toilet (that one costs $830 a night). All rooms come with free wifi. There’s rumor of $25 short stays for those with long layovers, but the website says nothing of the kind. No word on complimentary earplugs for all the surrounding airport noises—you know, like planes taking off and landing.
