An abandoned Boeing 737 that once belonged to the now-defunct Mandala Airlines is being converted into a private vacation villa in Indonesia and you don’t even need a boarding pass to enter.
Currently under construction, the retired aircraft is located 500 feet above the beach of Nyang Nyang in Bali.
If the refit jet is completed within the next few months, it will cost roughly $7,300 a night to rent.

Felix Demin, a successful entrepreneur and travel lover, is collaborating with investor Alexander Lebedev on this project.
He already has three hotel establishments in Bali, demonstrating his knowledge of the field.
Following approval from local authorities, it took approximately a week to move the plane from one location to another and reconstruct it on-site.
As Demin stated in his conversation with Business Insider, “on the outside and inside alike, this is what you call a luxury jetliner converted into a hotel”.
All of the airliner’s seats and flying equipment had to be removed to make room for accommodations.
Except for the shell (and the portholes), there’s nothing to remind you that you’re on a plane. It is also possible to achieve this with the minimalist design scheme.
The former cockpit of the jet-turned-villa has been transformed into a stylish bathroom, complete with a circular stone bathtub.
Additionally, there is a kitchen, a dining nook, a bathroom and two bedrooms.

Outside, one of the wings appears to have been converted into a terrace where you and your friends can enjoy the views.
The adjacent infinity pool and loungers offer spectacular views of the ocean.
There is even a helipad, so you can bring your helicopter on holiday, and guests will have free self-parking, free Wi-Fi, and 24-hour front desk service.
