Have you ever dreamed of sleeping inside an airplane? No, in this case we are not talking about being able to fall asleep while in the air, despite the screams of children, the loud chatter of other passengers and more. The talk is quite different and is about being able to have the cockpit of an airplane to yourself, turned into a luxury accommodation.
In this article:
If you are intrigued by the concept, it is easy to assume that you have come across such news in the past. However, these are solutions abroad, which often involve long journeys. Finally, something is moving in Italy as well: here's where to sleep in an airplane in our country.
B&B in the cockpit of an airplane
For the first time in Italy, a hotel facility inside an aircraft has been opened. Therefore, even in our country it will be possible to sleep in an aircraft. This is a dream come true for many fans, who will have to travel to Brembate Sopra to experience this intriguing bed and breakfast.
The medium exploited for this initiative, which is already intriguing many online, is a Fokker 27, dating back to 1968. A piece of history that has long since exhausted its flight path. Instead of being dismantled or abandoned, it will have a chance to bring new smiles, while remaining firmly anchored on the ground.
The name of the structure is Natur Air Suite and it is the first glamping aircraft in Italy. The craft flew until 1975 for passenger transport. It was limited in size compared to today's models, with a maximum guest capacity of 44, excluding personnel. Later, having lost its usefulness in that capacity, it was converted into a cargo plane by Aeropostale, a French postal company. The last time it lifted off the ground was 2015. Once decommissioned, it was long abandoned in a hangar, only to be purchased at an auction in 2020.
Sleeping in an airplane: characteristics of B&B
Disassembled and reassembled after its purchase in 2020, it was then placed last year in the middle of the XXIV May Street municipal lawn, where the bed & breakfast was then set up. The idea behind it is to create a series of exclusive locations, so you can live in contact with nature, without having to give up comfort.
The whole thing is the brainchild of Gianpiero Bianchi, who explained how other facilities are in the province of Bergamo, from Piazza Brembana to Capriate San Gervasio, from Piazzatorre to Sant'Omobono Terme: "There will be more news soon."
Decorations and amenities are truly exhilarating, as are the services offered outside the plane. In the surrounding spaces there is a private spa for exclusive use. A way to leave behind the hustle and bustle of daily life. Customers can also take advantage of the infrared sauna, ideal for combating stress and purifying themselves. A rejuvenating bath that works on the joints and back. Finally, don't forget the whirlpool, for total relaxation.
