For jet-setters, a new way to get a restful night

Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hotel to prove it.

Dios says it is the world’s first jumbo jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at’ Sweden’s main airport outside Stockholm which has been converted into a 25-robin guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.

“I learned abo0t this plane that was-standing abandoned at Arlanda airport and I’ve been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings,” he told reporters. “I thought, ‘Why not a plane?’”

Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as cozy.

“The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull -- it’s just really, really tight.”

The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002.

One thing the hostel has. going for it is price-a room starts al 35.0 Swedish crowns (about $4.1% which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports.

Another feature: customers can get married on the wing of the plane and reside in the plane’s more luxurious honeymoon room situated in the cockpit.

Instead of walking down the aisle, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hotel calls the “wing walk,” where they can be joined in bliss at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.

But in some respects, this hostel remains a plane-most clients have to share the jet’s nine  bathrooms and staff only wear air steward and stewardess outfits. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.

68. Why does Oscar Dios make jet plane hotel?

A. Because he is fond of plane very much.

B. Because he is very curious

C. Because he wants to earn more money.

D. Because he likes trying the concept of hotel in many different things.

69. Which of the following statement is not true about the plane?

A. The plane was in service before 2002 .

B. Now the plane as hostel is at Arlanda airport.

C. The plane was first produced for Singapore Airline.

D. The metal of the plane is very hard.

70. For the customers who get married on the plane, _________.

A. they can live in the room situated in the cockpit.

B. They will have their own bathroom

C. They can walk down the aisle

D. The wedding ceremony will be performed by the person prepared by the hotel.

71. Which of the following is the disadvantage of the Jumbo Hotel?

A. It’s price is too high.

B. It hasn’t enough rooms.

C. Sleeping on it is not comfortable.

D. Most clients don’t have their own bathroom.
