Jumbo Stay
I bet you didn’t know a plane hostel existed in this wonderful world. Well, it does, and you can sleep in your choice of 76 beds in shared dorm rooms, standard rooms and suites all aboard a jumbo jet. It’s also possible to add flight lessons if you’re interested in flying a plane instead of just sleeping in one.

Helicopter fans can enjoy a stay inside a refurbished 1968 Sikorsky Sea King HH3F “Pelican,” located inside a cottage in rural Connecticut. The rotor blades are embedded in the ceiling, making this a truly one-of-a-kind experience as you can admire the chopper from your bed. It’s got all the original features, too, like pilot seats, switches and gauges, while the cottage you’re sleeping in has all the comforts you’d expect, like a Jacuzzi, rainfall steam shower, a Bose stereo system, flatscreen TV, Wi-Fi, Nespresso coffee and a wood-burning stove.

Blackberry Wood, Campsite, Treehouses and Glamping
This campground offers a converted 1965 Westland Wessex Royal Navy search-and-rescue helicopter, nicknamed the “Holicopter.” The chopper can accommodate up to four people and comes with an outside kitchen with a fridge, cooker, toaster, cookware and dishes — since this is a campsite, however, you’ll have to bring your own bedding, pillows and towels.

Both suites can sleep up to four people and come with kitchenettes and en suite bathrooms. The property is large and rural, making this a great place to rest and recharge.
