Boeing Backpackers?

Print This Post Print This Post       Written by Eva Holland

I’ve stayed in a few unusual hostels in my day: a couple of lighthouses, and an old prison.

But a hostel in a Boeing 747? Who’d have thought?

That’s just what a Swedish entrepreneur has in mind, and he’s even got an old plane in place near the Arlanda airport in Stockholm. If all goes well, the hostel could be open by December.
