Notes:

Originally built for Singapore Airlines in 1976, later flew for Pan Am and last flew for the Swedish company Transjet which went bankrupt in 2002. The plane sat collecting dust at Stockholm Arlanda airport until 2007 when the Sigtuna authorities granted a building permit to convert the plane into a hotel called Jumbo Stay. The conversion began in January 2008 and guests were able to stay overnight in the converted jumbo jet for the first time in January 2009. Since then the jumbo jet has served as an iconic landmark for the airport and a unique and thrilling experience for its guests.
