First class hotel - PHOTO

Calling all high-flying couples looking for a first class weekend away, this is a luxury hotel suite built into an airplane.Complete with its own sauna, hot tub and three flat screen TVs, the features on this disused 1960s plane is a far cry from some budget airlines.The Airplane Suite, at Teuge Airport in the Netherlands, will even let customers play pilot and stewardess with an in-built flight simulator.For those who want to take to the skies for real, you can also book helicopter tours, flying lessons, parachute jumps and a ride in a stunt plane.Guests can book their stay on board the lavish 40-metre long aircraft with prices starting from around £300 per night.Steve Dobson, Co-Founder of UnusualHotelsoftheWorld.com, said: 'This is a luxurious single suite in an authentic plane, situated in Teuge Airport.'The facilities are fantastic. It's got a rainfall shower, sauna and an untouched flight deck for playing pilot and stewardess.'It's a favourite for romantic celebrations and offers a truly unique experience so you'll need to book well in advance to come on board.'Passengers can also enjoy some 'in-flight' entertainment with a selection of Blu Rays and DVDs on board, as well as helping themselves to drinks from the mini bar - though perhaps not before taking to the controls.The Ilyushin 18 plane was built in 1960 and in its first years served as a government plane for German diplomats. From 1964 to 1986 it was used as a tourist plane taking up to 120 passengers to countries such as Cuba and Russia, before being transformed into a restaurant for 15 years.Eventually it was bought by Hotelsuites.nl in 2007 before being turned into the luxury accommodation it is today.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
