Recentemente entrato a far parte del circuito di Hostelsclub, Il Jumbo Hostel è stato definito uno degli ostelli più cool del mondo. Perché è incredibile come cambi la prospettiva quando l’aereo non diventa un mezzo di trasporto ma una “casa”. Gli spazi si trasformano, e senza i sedili per i passeggeri l’effetto è spiazzante. E affascinante. Come Tom Hanks in The Terminal, solo che q
ui si può uscire, e rientrare a dormire dopo una serata di divertimento nell’elettrica capitale svedese.

Parcheggiato nell’aeroporto di Arlanda, il principale della città di Stoccolma, l’aeroplano che ospita l’ostello è un modello dismesso 747-200, costruito nel 1976 e che ha volato negli ultimi anni per la compagnia svedese Transjet. Era stato realizzato in origine per la Singapore Airlines e ha successivamente volato per la leggendaria Pan Am.
A really very special way to spend a night in Stockholm! From the mid of January, hostel guests are, for the first time ever, able to spend the night in a real, seasoned Jumbo Jet – on the ground! This is the perfect way to start your trip abroad. The plane is a used out jumbo jet model 747-200 made in 1976 for Singapore Airlines and later served with the legendary Pan Am.

It has been awarded a brand new, modern
interior decoration, offering night guests an experience apart. It’s exciting for aviation enthusiasts and families with children as well as for business people. This exhilarating experience leaves no-one indifferent, I promise!
In December 2007, Sigtuna authorities granted a building permit for establishing Jumbo Hostel at the entrance to Arlanda airport. In January 2008, the aircraft was moved to a construction site parking where the first phase of the conversion has begun with the dismantling of the old interior, new paint and new decorations for the rooms. 450 seats are taken out and the plane is sanitized in its entirety. The hostel is built like any house, subjected to the same demands on climate control and isolation. It adheres to all common energy standards. Heating is achieved with an air-air inverter.
