We’re always told that one of the best ways to cut our impact on the environment is to reduce, reuse, recycle. So, when British Airways began retiring its aging fleet of Boeing 747s, one eco-minded events manager saw an opportunity to do their bit and reuse an old plane as an events space.
In the 14 months since the 747 arrived at Cotswold Airport, the economy section of the plane has been stripped out to make space for a plush new events space. The plane’s old galley has also been reworked into a bar, while the cockpit and first class area remain untouched. “The makeover has cost nearly £500,000 ($671,000). However, Harvey points out that around £200,000 ($268,000) of that was spent on putting in a new concrete pad, and £80,000 ($107,000) on rewiring costs.”
To recoup some of these costs, renting the space won’t come cheap.

I see some overhead bins are still there
Party plane?
Can you imagine going up and down boarding stairs in high heels...after taking in a snoot full of alcohol?
Does it include a TSA full cavity search?
Otherwise what fun is that.

I don’t usually wear high heels, but if it were to happen, I’d need more than a snoot full.
It needs sound effects of engines revving up for take-off, a bit of jiggling motion, and the aileron thump.
It won’t exactly be the mile high club but sooner or later its gonna happen.
Tee hee. Thanks for the laugh!
I thought Jeffrey Epstein was dead !
It would be neat if there were cocktail waitresses dressed up like the old TWA stewardesses.
The Cotswolds region has become a very posh part of England, popular with those who want a rural or semi-rural lifestyle and with those looking for weekend getaways. So, I’m guessing there will be takers despite the high fees.
Hope no one crashes the party.
That’s to put the people who are passed out. We used to do that on buses back in my Drum Corps days.
I'm 78...I can't believe I wore one...with matching underwear besides. OMG...LOL
As another poster brought up, what are the toilets going to be like? Hopefully, those are not authentic.
😂

It could be touch & go at times.

Then a masked hijacker, like DB Cooper.
Like the train robbers at Knott’s Berry Farm.
