When a jumbo jet dies (and plenty of them do these days), it’s usually sold for scrap or sent to bake in the desert until the end of time. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios has a better idea for the 30-year-old junker he bought — turn it into a hostel.

Turning an old plane into a place to spend the night is cool. But turning it into a place where we can afford to spend the night is even cooler. It would have been easy for Dios to trick out his plane with ten luxury suites, tow it into downtown Stockholm and sell it as an overpriced boutique hotel for the beautiful people. But instead, he chose to leave it at the airport, and keep it accessible to the masses.

This is so bad-ass. I wish I had a trip to Sweden in my future so I could stay there.
