Want an extraordinary experience? According to TF1 infos, in Bristol, England, a Boeing 727 that belonged to Pablo Escobar, one of the most famous drug traffickers in history, has been transformed into a luxury Airbnb. Let yourself be tempted by a night in this emblematic plane, provided you pay the price and accept a setting that is atypical to say the least.
Built in 1968 for Japan Air, this Boeing 727 was later transformed into a private jet by Pablo Escobar at the height of his reign over the Medellín cartel. After decades of inactivity, the plane was recovered by a British businessman, who rehabilitated it into a unique rental on Airbnb.
For one night, you will have to pay the tidy sum of 950 euros in high season. And be careful: this price does not include a flight above the clouds, since the plane is now grounded in an industrial area of Bristol.
Outside, the Boeing does not go unnoticed. Completely repainted, it features bright colors as well as a stylized portrait of a woman. But it is above all the interior that attracts attention: the original layout has been carefully recreated to offer an immersion in the luxury of the 1980s.
Travelers will find two comfortable bedrooms, a spacious lounge equipped with a bar and even access to the cockpit to admire the period controls. Everything is designed to combine the authenticity of the plane’s history with modern comfort.
-However, the experience is not without some concessions. The plane is not located in an airport or picturesque setting, but rests in an industrial area, which may contrast with the luxury offered on board.
Despite this small drawback, this unusual place already attracts lovers of curiosities and history fans. Sleeping in the private jet of a figure as legendary as controversial like Pablo Escobar is an experience which, although expensive, is sure to leave its mark.
