Even our daily commute to school or the office has been reduced to walking from the bedroom into the living room. This new restricted way of life has put an understandable strain on our collective mental health and has left us dreaming about the day our travels will extend beyond a trip to the grocery store. The prospect of arriving at an airport and boarding a plane, once a mundane and unpleasant task, now fills the average person with wanderlust and longing.
While travel may still be largely restricted, Swedes can once again experience travel by booking a reservation at Jumbo Stay. Located at Arlanda Airport in Sweden, Jumbo Stay is a one-of-a-kind hotel that doubles as a Boeing 747-212B Jumbo Jet from 1976. Complete with modernised interiors and a café and bar, this plane-hotel hybrid offers 33 rooms containing 76 beds , one of which is located in the cockpit with sweeping views of the airport.
Guests may choose between staying in a dorm room, standard room or suite, and prices range from 450 SEK per night to 1895 SEK per night. Don’t feel like staying overnight? No problem. Jumbo Jet still invites you to visit their airplane café where you can enjoy a variety of meals and drinks including breakfast, coffee, cookies, ice cream, sandwiches and hot meals!
Although Jumbo Stay has been open and operating since January 2009, this unique hotel could not be more relevant given the restrictive times that we are living in. Whether you want to get away alone, with a partner or even rent the whole plane out for a large group of friends, Jumbo Stay has got you covered. For a quirky all-season vacation, head to Jumbo Stay’s
