And I’m sleeping on a jet plane?


jumbo_hostel1

 

Getting stranded in an airport overnight is a real drag (trust me, it just happened to me recently) but imagine if this airport also offered some seriously interesting sleeping accommodations right next door, not so bad anymore?  Well, that is exactly what has happened at Stockholm’s Arlanda airport.  Parked directly in front of the airport is the Jumbo Hostel, the world’s first hostel on a plane.  The double-decker 1976 Boeing 747-200 comes fashioned with a lounge, cafe, and 25 rooms to sleep in -ranging from your usual hostel-style bunk beds to a “fancy” private cockpit suite.
