As the summer draws nearer, thoughts are turning towards holidays and breaks whether in the sun or some idyllic location. One of the major considerations when booking a holiday is the accommodation, both for the desired destination as well as the potential journey. Airport hotel facilities have grown immeasurably in recent times, as many commercial flights tend to be at times that are considered off-peak, such as very early morning, the allure of a pleasant night's sleep within the confines of an airport hotel has certainly grown in popularity and as such the options available have also grown. One of the more usual forms of accommodation is a relatively new concept called the aeroplane hotel, which in essence is an aircraft that has been decommissioned and refurbished into accommodation. Both of these options are explained and discussed in detail within the pages of an informative and useful website, www.airporthotels.com. The benefits of staying at an airport hotel prior to a flight are well documented. From the obvious benefit of lack of tiredness, to the assurance of being close to the departure point for the impending vacation or break, which also puts the mind at ease. The growing trend for unusual experiences, has led to an innovative means of utilising aircraft that are no longer serviceable and therefore not in use. Although the aircraft may no longer be useful as a means of transport, some are being refurbished as aeroplane hotels, a concept and entrepreneurial opportunity that offers budget accommodation. The jumbo hostel, located at Arlanda airport in Sweden is an aeroplane hotel that has utilised and transformed and aged Boeing 747 into an impressive and stylish 25 room hotel. The concept has proven popular, with an ever-growing requirement for budget airport hotel accommodation, the idea takes recycling to another level. Alternative aeroplane hotel versions also exist in Costa Rica and Holland. With the advance of technology, the idea of a hotel that flies is not as far-fetched as it once was. There are even in fact several conceptual ideas for flying hotels currently being reviewed, such as the Manned cloud, which is in essence an airship which is the length of two football pitches and contains up to 20 bedrooms. In addition the flying hotel is expected to offer a restaurant, bar and a gymnasium as part of its package. However, tabled for launch around 2020, difficulties regarding the required technology are ensuring that it will be some time before it gets off the ground. An alternative is the Aeroscraft, which is expected to have a prototype as early as 2010. In essence a floating cruise ship, it will operate utilising electric engines, which are ideal from an ecological point of view, whilst also provides the means to take off and land vertically therefore not requiring any specific runway. There is no doubt, within the coming years alternative modes of transport will surface. With many now looking at ecological factors as well as comfort and ease of transport, new options will look to encompass all of these factors.
