"Parked at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, a retired 747 was converted into Jumbo Stay, a 33-room hostel where guests could book the “Cockpit Suite” and literally sleep beneath the instrument panel — a striking example of repurposing a commercial jet into accommodation — though the operation shuttered and filed for bankruptcy in early 2025." - Scott Campbell
"A converted 1976 Boeing 747-212B serves as the lodging, with single, double, and dorm-style rooms available inside the aircraft for guests seeking an immersive, retro aviation stay right at the airport." - Blane Bachelor
"In Stockholm, Sweden, a hotelier transformed a 747 plane into a hostel named JumboStay. Located a 15-minute walk from the city’s international airport, it features a café in the former first-class cabin and dorm-style rooms, including a twin suite in the cockpit with views and original controls."
"If you need to be by the airport, I think Jumbo Stay STF/IYHF is super awesome: it's a converted 747 with singles, doubles, and 2–4 bed dorms, and the standout is the cockpit suite with a private bathroom (starting at 1,850 SEK). It's open 24 hours, has an on-site restaurant and bar, towels and linens are included, and the smaller dorms (2–4 beds) mean you won't be overly crowded." - Matthew Kepnes
"A novelty accommodation constructed inside a decommissioned Boeing 747 near Arlanda Airport, with the fuselage converted into dormitories, the cockpit transformed into an ensuite double room, and additional cabins housed in former engine areas; the plane dates from 1976 (registration 9V-SQE)." - SilverKris
