Scared of flying? Start your trip here!

I just came across this unusual hostel and it immediately grabbed my attention!  It can simply be described as the placebo solution for your fear of flying…  Here you can spend the night onboard a real jumbo jet – on the ground!

Located at Arlanda (near Stockholm, Sweden), this retired 747 Jumbo Jet will definitely give you a memorable experience.  This 1976 vintage plane was creatively converted into a hostel, containing a total of 27 rooms and 76 beds. You can choose between a couple of en-suite rooms, budget dormitory, twin and three-bed combo rooms with shared shower and toilet in the corridor or the luxury suite in the converted cockpit with its panoramic view of the airport. (I would love to see that one!!)

Although marketed towards an adult and family audience, I’m sure everyone can have a good time here. At least it will be different!! 🙂

I NEVER sleep when I’m on an airplane, even if it is a 14 hours flight! ugh… so, I don’t know how I will respond to this one.  But I bet that if I get a comfy bed, I will have no problem sleeping here!!

Check it out… and check in!
