Jumbo jet hotel is perfect for people who just love being on airplanes

jumbo_hostel_1.jpgYou know, so many people just love flying so much that they don't want to get off the plane when they land. The cramped space! The rude people! The dry air! The terrible food! So it only makes sense that someone would make a hotel out of a jumbo jet, allowing people to go from one plane to another when they land somewhere.

The Jumbo Hostel is opening near the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport on January 15th. Built out of a Boeing 747, it will feature 25 rooms, four of which are actually inside the original engines hanging off the wings. OK then! The flight deck will be a private suite, and the original lounge and café will remain intact. One night is gonna cost you about $170 and a solid chunk of your sanity.

Who ever pitched this goober to the investors must be the greatest salesman on Earth. I salute him.
