This is not a drill. We repeat: Not. A. Drill.
KLM, or the Royal Dutch Airlines, is nothing if not dramatic and after that much controversial and much adorable Sherlock ad, they are back in the news with a bang. This time with an airplane on rent. Listed on vacation rental site, www.airbnb.com, the airline has on offer a retired KLM MD-11, white and blue flight and completely refurbished like a plush hotel. Of course, it's a promotional stunt, but it's a pretty good one at that.
This is the airline's shout out to airplane aficionados, who are required to "Pick any date and tell us why and with whom you would like to stay in the Airplane Apartment!"
The winner(s) of this contest will be offered a chance to stay in the airplane apartment in all its glory for a night.
For those wondering - no, the plane is not located in the middle of an exotic island amid sparkling blue water and pink sunrises and sunsets, but is "located right beside the runway of Amsterdam's bustling Schiphol airport". But also for the record, the airplane has two bedrooms, eight bathrooms, library, kitchen, WiFi/internet, TV, air conditioning, a gaming console, and home theater with a stock of movies. So go figure.
This airplane comes with a few house rules which include:
1. No flying. (In case, you were planning on taking off in this airplane apartment.)
2. Don't use the inflatable emergency slide. (In case, you were planning on imitating Batman.)
3. Smoking is not allowed when the non-smoking sign is on.
4. No marshmallow roasting with the jet engines.
5. Please water the plants and feed the fish. (Yes, please do.)
6. The consumption of alcohol is not allowed. (No drinking and flying. Thanks.)
7. Please treat the plane like you would treat your own plane. (But don't get too attached. You have to return it the next day.)
Would you like to live in a plane for a day?
