JUMBO JET HOTEL - JUMBO STAY STOCKHOLM ARLANDA AIRPORT

I'm old enough to remember when these big birds flew in the sky. I was fortunate enough to travel around the world in them. Now most have been scrapped or turned into cargo planes, but not this one. This former Singapore Airlines / Pan Am jumbo is a hotel/hostel, and I stay in one of the engines for an unforgetable overnight visit at Arlanda Airport, Stockholm. #stockholm #arlanda #jumbostay

A very unusual stay Scott and you gave it a really honest assessment. BTW, not serving decent coffee is sacrilege - the irony that a Jumbo couldn't get you up to cruising altitude!

We were over in the UK September/ October from NZ. In the end, Wetherspoons, became our eating place of choice. Reasonable prices and staff were friendly! One thing I’d like to say is, we were there for about five weeks and didn’t find one obnoxious person. I think that says something!

I'm biased, but a Singapore Airlines Livery would have broken me. I might have flown on that plane in the 80's. BTW- there is no way that I'm staying at the top. I looked it up and couldn't find the engine room

@ozgirl45 5 ай бұрын

This was interesting. The accommodations seem a bit contrived and the lack of any sort of bathroom would deter anyone but the young. But what was cute were the tables and chairs on the wing so maybe it’s more doable in the summer. The photo of Pan Am brought back nice memories.

@ohheyitskevinc 5 ай бұрын

Excellent! Always wanted to stay there. 2500 SEK or £187 ish is pretty good for the cockpit when it’s available (had a quick look and there is some availability). Not sure I could have stayed in the engine room to be honest - looked a little claustrophobic even on a GoPro. When you got on the easyJet at the end there - I saw you give the engine a glance and was thinking “yep, he’s tired and now thinks of those things as a place to sleep” 😅

My first ever flight was a school trip on a JAL jumbo jet from London Heathrow to Paris Orly. Short flight of 50 minutes. In those days, the flight to Tokyo made a stop at either Paris or Rome. The same on the way back. Great experience. We kids sneaked onto the top deck before the stewardess told us to leave. We also got a jumbo back to LHR a few days later.Btw I would have paid a little more to get a cabin on board the plane.

Looks cool. I want to go to Sweden at some point and I almost feel tempted to stay there. Unfortunately this seems pretty far from the city. I also really wouldn't like to go out in the dark and cold for a shower or toilet during winter :o

Scandinavia is still on my "to do" list, but I have never been there. But probably it will happen one time. Not by plane though: I always travel by train, ferry and local public transport. And when that is not possible I won't go.... This room in an engine compartment? What a creative idea to use a plane that way.

A Big thumbs for a direct and honest review of JumboStay. (been there a couple of times. It has a somewhat of a novelty. at least first)Looking forward to see more from your KZfaq channel. Lastly. Love that Northern kind of sense of humour. Scotts are some of the friendliest and honest people i have come across when i travelled the British isles). Your friendly Swede working at Arlanda airport.

Hi Scott, Last year I'd pre-booked eight months in advance the cockpit at Jumb Stay. Unfortunately, a week before my departure, BA decided to cancel my flight, and that was the end of my plans! Stockhom is one of my favourite places. The locals are truly some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet.

Terminal 4 and 5 at Arlanda are connected with a big corridor with moving sidewalks. So it really is one terminal. The security control at T5 is best because you dont have to take out your laptop and liquids. The you can just walk to T4.

You do have a mild glasgowean scottish dialect which is easy to understand for a swede. I have a friend from Glasgow that has a really hard glasgowean scottish dialect, and he speaks very fast. I need to ask him several times to repeat what he says. Its almost like Rab. C. Nesbitt. Fortunately that series on DVD has english subtitles.

That was a brave challenge to take on Scott. It seems surreal to sleep in a converted jet engine. However I'll bet there'll be others lining up for the opportunity.

Great that you kept the camera rolling after you checked out and showed us your trip back to Glasgow. I find your on screen comments very funny 🤣 Looking forward to your next video already 👍🙂

Would you stay in the Jumbo Jet Hotel again but in the cock pit next time ? The engine cabin could have been improved if they had cut into a window into it or installed cameras so guests could watch the planes coming and going. The Toilet situation should also be improved. The cafe could be improved immensely if they added a microwave or 2 and let guests know to bring their own food to heat up. It was basic backpacker style accommodation for aviation nuts.
