Yes – you can rent a plane for the night.

Still want to get a night in that plane you always wanted? Well now you can! Recently KLM and Airbnb have partnered up to improve the experiences of their customers. Both are major worldwide transport and travel industries. In order to spread the word about this new innovative partnership, both economical giants decided to introduce it to the globe in a particular and mind-blowing way.  KLM has just retired one of their MD-11 planes, and with no better future for the plane they decided to get creative and re-model the plane into an apartment! Featuring full breakfast, yard (an airport parking space at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol), internet, kitchen, library, 3 bathrooms, kids’ rooms and several other features – including 12 meters of leg space, this plane is a beautiful place to spend a night in. What’s the best feature? It’s free! Before November 20th, you could’ve applied on http://airbnb.klm.com/ for a night on the plane completely free of charge, including the round-trip faire from your home to your temporary plane. Unfortunately, though – with all pros there are some limits. In this case, there are some rules of activities you can’t do on your plane, such as:

  • No flying.
  • Don’t use the inflatable emergency slide.
  • Smoking is not allowed when the non-smoking sign is on.
  • No marshmallow roasting with the jet engines.
  • Please water our plants and feed our fish.
  • The consumption of alcohol is not allowed.
  • Please treat our plane like you treat your own plane.

In conclusion, there are several great opportunities out there for aircraft geeks and lovers – therefore let’s hope there will be many more chances and creativity from major airline companies such as KLM to bring us some enjoyment and a break from the current reality, and take us above the clouds and beyond.
