A retired Boeing 747-200 Jumbo has been transformed into a 74-bed hostel at Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden.
General manager Oscar Dios hopes the hostel will attract aviation enthusiasts, budget travellers, charter tourists and even day visitors.
Each of the Jumbo’s 25 rooms features a flat screen TV, and wireless internet.
Bathrooms are shared, apart from in the en suite luxury room.
An onboard restaurant - formerly the lounge bar - boasts garish orange seats and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Prices range from £30 per night for a bed, to £275 per night for the luxury Cockpit Suite - where flight controls and switches have been left in place. Day visitors can hire a former first class chair to relax in, priced £17 for five hours.
