An Etihad Airways plane has been transformed into a stylish, luxurious summer home with bedrooms in its own fuselage, which you can rent for a holiday this year.
A video tour of the impressive air lodge in Tenby, West Wales, has gone viral on TikTok from the owners’ Apple Camping UK account, garnering more than 800,000 views.
The Airbus A320, which flies from Cardiff Airport, looks the same from the outside, but the interior has been completely changed.
The open lounge area was built inside the original fuselage, which is the large outer shell that surrounds the fuselage or cabin of the aircraft.
What does a home plane include?
A functional kitchen has been installed in the galley area, the cabin doors are fully functional, guests will discover Etihad Airways and Air France branded storage spaces, as well as runway trolleys, and Wi-Fi is available.
The toilet has been converted to include a shower, while the living room has plenty of light thanks to 26 windows (equipped with retractable blinds), as well as cabin lights.
There’s also an outdoor seating area called “Arabian Nights” with a desert mural, as reported by What’sTheJam.
Describing the unique stay, the owner of Apple Camping said: “Welcome to our amazing Airbus experience, where the heritage of the former Etihad A320 merges with the innovations of modern living to deliver an Airbnb retreat unlike any other.”
“This marvel of aviation has been thoughtfully transformed into a self-contained retreat that retains the magical allure of air travel while providing the comforts and luxuries of a stay that is anything but ordinary.”
“As you enter, you are greeted by a single living space, cleverly created within the original fuselage. Here, two single beds and a sofa bed provide comfortable sleeping, complemented by the warm atmosphere of the space which has new carpets and is fully insulated – ensuring warmth and comfort whatever the season.” “, as stated in the description.
“The interior features a fully equipped galley, cleverly integrating original aircraft features such as functional cabin doors, storage spaces and Etihad Airways and Air France branded aisle trolleys, combining culinary convenience with a touch of innovation.
“Airbus extends its charm to the toilets, one of which has been converted into a modern hot-water shower, while the other retains its original purpose, with charming details such as Arabic signage, a nod to its globalized past.”
The listing concludes: “The living room invites you to relax with a coffee table and TV, all under the soft glow of the renovated apartment’s lighting.”
How much does it cost to stay overnight on board?
The accommodation is available for overnight stays from £199 per night and can sleep up to four guests, with three beds made inside.
