Sleep In The Cockpit Of A 747

Filed under: Journeys, Wings


Usually you sleep on a plane because you are en route to a destination. But now you can sleep on a plane that is going nowhere. The Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is home to the Jumbo Hostel, the world's first jet to hostel conversion. The hostel is located in an old Boeing 747 which has been renovated to offer 25 rooms includes four inside the original engines that hang off the wings. The flight deck is a private suite and the plane's lounge area and cafe will remain open. The hostel opens on January 16 and a night will cost 110 euros for basic rooms while the cockpit suite will run you 500 euros.
