Entrepreneur Launches Hostel in Converted Airplane

(MoneyWatch)  Is there anything less refreshing than airplane sleep?

Oscar Dios, an entrepreneur in Sweden, thinks people will give his new hostel, which is built out of an abandoned jetliner, a try for the novelty and savings, reports Reuters.

• Dios says it is the world's first jumbo jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at Sweden's main airport outside Stockholm which has been converted into a 25-room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.
• "I learned about this plane that was standing abandoned at Arlanda airport and I've been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings," he told Reuters. "I thought, 'Why not a plane?'

The staff dresses like flight attendants and guests have to use airplane bathrooms.

If this hostel were in an airplane that actually went places, maybe then it would sound more like a winning idea.
