JUMBO JET HOTEL - JUMBO STAY STOCKHOLM ARLANDA AIRPORT

I'm old enough to remember when these big birds flew in the sky. I was fortunate enough to travel around the world in them. Now most have been scrapped or turned into cargo planes, but not this one. This former Singapore Airlines / Pan Am jumbo is a hotel/hostel, and I stay in one of the engines for an unforgetable overnight visit at Arlanda Airport, Stockholm. #stockholm #arlanda #jumbostay

    Excellent! Always wanted to stay there. 2500 SEK or £187 ish is pretty good for the cockpit when it’s available (had a quick look and there is some availability). Not sure I could have stayed in the engine room to be honest - looked a little claustrophobic even on a GoPro. When you got on the easyJet at the end there - I saw you give the engine a glance and was thinking “yep, he’s tired and now thinks of those things as a place to sleep” 😅

    This was interesting. The accommodations seem a bit contrived and the lack of any sort of bathroom would deter anyone but the young. But what was cute were the tables and chairs on the wing so maybe it’s more doable in the summer. The photo of Pan Am brought back nice memories.

    My first ever flight was a school trip on a JAL jumbo jet from London Heathrow to Paris Orly. Short flight of 50 minutes. In those days, the flight to Tokyo made a stop at either Paris or Rome. The same on the way back. Great experience. We kids sneaked onto the top deck before the stewardess told us to leave. We also got a jumbo back to LHR a few days later.Btw I would have paid a little more to get a cabin on board the plane.

    Scandinavia is still on my "to do" list, but I have never been there. But probably it will happen one time. Not by plane though: I always travel by train, ferry and local public transport. And when that is not possible I won't go.... This room in an engine compartment? What a creative idea to use a plane that way.

    Would you stay in the Jumbo Jet Hotel again but in the cock pit next time ? The engine cabin could have been improved if they had cut into a window into it or installed cameras so guests could watch the planes coming and going. The Toilet situation should also be improved. The cafe could be improved immensely if they added a microwave or 2 and let guests know to bring their own food to heat up. It was basic backpacker style accommodation for aviation nuts.
