Per the New York Post, the plane once owned by Pablo Escobar is now owned by businessman Johnny Palmer, who had to file for consent to list it under Airbnb with the Bristol City Council. Reflecting on his decisions, he said, per the outlet:

"It was built in 1968 for Japan Airlines and in 1981 it got converted into a private jet. It had a series of owners. Eventually it could not fly anymore and in 2012 it was decommissioned. There is a bit of a roll play cosplay thing going on there – people enjoy that experience and living that fantasy for a little while and then living their normal lives. The contrast – billionaire and real life – is actually really healthy to people.”

This Airbnb has two double bedrooms with toilets and showers, as well as convertible seats that transform into beds. The cheapest it goes for is £250, though on some nights, it soars as high as £850.
