Staying the night in a jumbo jet, and having to go outside in the middle of the night to find a loo? No thanks, Scott, not at my age! You're a braver man than I am! Thanks for taking us along to share your experience though! Amazing.
A very unusual stay Scott and you gave it a really honest assessment. BTW, not serving decent coffee is sacrilege - the irony that a Jumbo couldn't get you up to cruising altitude!
The best review I’ve seen on this hotel mate. And cheers for the bonus trip home! I fancy trying the cockpit room but the engine would be a step too far for me 😂
Well done Scott for sleeping in the engine! But it looked horrible actually - if it had been been me, I'd have been running across the road to the Radisson!
We were over in the UK September/ October from NZ. In the end, Wetherspoons, became our eating place of choice. Reasonable prices and staff were friendly! One thing I’d like to say is, we were there for about five weeks and didn’t find one obnoxious person. I think that says something!
I'm biased, but a Singapore Airlines Livery would have broken me. I might have flown on that plane in the 80's. BTW- there is no way that I'm staying at the top. I looked it up and couldn't find the engine room
This was interesting. The accommodations seem a bit contrived and the lack of any sort of bathroom would deter anyone but the young. But what was cute were the tables and chairs on the wing so maybe it’s more doable in the summer. The photo of Pan Am brought back nice memories.
Excellent! Always wanted to stay there. 2500 SEK or £187 ish is pretty good for the cockpit when it’s available (had a quick look and there is some availability). Not sure I could have stayed in the engine room to be honest - looked a little claustrophobic even on a GoPro. When you got on the easyJet at the end there - I saw you give the engine a glance and was thinking “yep, he’s tired and now thinks of those things as a place to sleep” 😅
Looks cool. I want to go to Sweden at some point and I almost feel tempted to stay there. Unfortunately this seems pretty far from the city. I also really wouldn't like to go out in the dark and cold for a shower or toilet during winter :o
I enjoy your style as you show the unglamorous parts of travel like the departure areas, cafes, waiting... The mundane bits... Also the cold!! I'm in Singapore so it's nice chilly video.
The Jumbo has been on my bucket list to stay at for years and have now seen a few videos from a few RUclipsrs who have stayed there. The only time I visited Stockholm I was interrailing, but maybe one day
Scandinavia is still on my "to do" list, but I have never been there. But probably it will happen one time. Not by plane though: I always travel by train, ferry and local public transport. And when that is not possible I won't go.... This room in an engine compartment? What a creative idea to use a plane that way.
Fascinating way to spend a night. I'd want more room but I think I could have just got away with it once 😂 Cheers Scott, very entertaining and chucklesome as ever mate.
Hello Scott, I was just watching your video where you stepped into the Baltic Sea (I'm slowly but surely catching up with your older videos) and noticed that you reached the 50,000 subscriber mark. Congratulation and now lets get another 50k
Thanks Scott that was an excellent video I’m originally from Glasgow and you flying into Glasgow airport in the middle of winter brought back lots of memories 👍
My first ever flight was a school trip on a JAL jumbo jet from London Heathrow to Paris Orly. Short flight of 50 minutes. In those days, the flight to Tokyo made a stop at either Paris or Rome. The same on the way back. Great experience. We kids sneaked onto the top deck before the stewardess told us to leave. We also got a jumbo back to LHR a few days later.Btw I would have paid a little more to get a cabin on board the plane.
Sweden is firmly on our bucket list already but now we have a new place to add to the specifics! Man, watching RUclips can be expensive! We watched Walk With Me Tim visit here a while back. Next week's video sounds intriguing....!
That was awesome, who ever thought there would be a Jumbo available to sleep in as a hotel, I would love to try that, but I would be sleeping in the cockpit of the aircraft for sure 👍✈️
Another interesting video. The various views made me shiver though. The cold came through clearly. H&S wise - I was really bothered about the snow/frost covered stairs! You did well to stay on your feet. Thank you for enduring the trip - and the coffee!
Your vlogs just keep getting better and better, there's a few aviation vlogger out there that we used to follow and they seem to be loosing the plot, always love your subtitles, they crack us up.
A Big thumbs for a direct and honest review of JumboStay. (been there a couple of times. It has a somewhat of a novelty. at least first)Looking forward to see more from your RUclips channel. Lastly. Love that Northern kind of sense of humour. Scotts are some of the friendliest and honest people i have come across when i travelled the British isles). Your friendly Swede working at Arlanda airport.
That was a brave challenge to take on Scott. It seems surreal to sleep in a converted jet engine. However I'll bet there'll be others lining up for the opportunity. Not me though, maybe I am just a big Wuss. We certainly get a good range of variety from your vids. Keep them coming. Safe travelling.
I've seen photos of this "hotel" before but yours is the first video I've watched of someone actually staying there. I could stay in the plane itself but no way in the engine pod. Way too claustrophobic for me and I want the "mod coms" handy! BTW, we're still waiting for you to create some "cruising altitude" coffee-themed merch :)
Hi Scott, Last year I'd pre-booked eight months in advance the cockpit at Jumb Stay. Unfortunately, a week before my departure, BA decided to cancel my flight, and that was the end of my plans! Stockhom is one of my favourite places. The locals are truly some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet.
Brilliant video as ever Scott 👍🙂 Had to be worth a stay but the toilet/shower being in the main part of the plane meaning a walk in the cold from your engine room (see what I did there 😉) at night would probably put me off. Great that you kept the camera rolling after you checked out and showed us your trip back to Glasgow. I find your on screen comments very funny 🤣 Looking forward to your next video already 👍🙂
Loved the video ...but not your choice of accommodation! I would have failed at check in ...those icy steps .. No insude toilet .....Ill pass but gkad you showed us all - Bravo 😊
Very cool, but I think I’d try to stay in a room in the fuselage - assuming I could afford it, maybe, maybe not. It looks so cold in Sweden in January (duh!), I think you need one of those arctic hats!
Great Video Scott. The jumbo stay is on my bucket list to stay at hopefully in the next year or so. Hope you are well. Looking forward to the next video
A great video the hotel was certainly different. I've had long stopovers at Stansted and I started to go in to Bishops Stortford for a few hours it passed the time well.
Sounds like the hotel was great in concept but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of execution. And I wouldn’t fancy those stairs to the engine pod in the night if there is snow/ice on them…
No loo? Dealbreaker. Don't fancy getting dressed in the middle of the night, then grabbing a torch to treck through the freezing snow and ice and get inside to find some other guest has already nabbed it for a nice 30min long shower.... Staying inside may be worth the extra cash. Brilliant video ❤😊
Really like your videos Scott. Seen a recent video from another traveller recently who had that cabin in the flight deck. Maybe worth trying that next time.
I stayed there almost 2 years ago in the cockpit suit for 3 nights & it was an experience to remember! Yeah ignore the Jumbo Stay website when it comes to info of how to get there as it is outdated, which I learned while I was there in April 2022.
I spent my 18th birthday here in 2015, I've been again in 2018 & 2022, staying in the fuselage on all three times. Would love to go back in 2025 and stay in the cockpit, worth the money from my view- but wish me luck!
I couldn't cope with no bathroom in those temperatures, well done for doing that Scott. A recommendation for you (or your followers), try Langholmen Hostel/Hotel which is based in an old prison. On my visit many years ago the hostel rooms were in the prison museum and the bathroom at the end of the corridor. The lights were on a timer and if you weren't quick enough you would bump into one of the wax work prisoners or prison guards - very spooky. There were 2 metal bunks in a solitary confinement cell. Sad to report the rooms have been upgraded to ensuite these days for around £50 per night. Love the idea of the plane, but next time I am in Stockholm, I think I will return to the prison.
Hi Scott I believe one of the other carriers that operated that aircraft was tower air out of jfk of which my late brother was a Captain. Enjoyed the video thanks paul Rhode Island USA
Staying the night in a jumbo jet, and having to go outside in the middle of the night to find a loo? No thanks, Scott, not at my age! You're a braver man than I am! Thanks for taking us along to share your experience though! Amazing.
Feel's like camping day's when you have to go to the toilet block 😂
Bacon buttie
There are choices of rooms , most are inside.....
A very unusual stay Scott and you gave it a really honest assessment. BTW, not serving decent coffee is sacrilege - the irony that a Jumbo couldn't get you up to cruising altitude!
I've grown to love the cheeky cruising altitude coffee moments!
Brilliant comment :D
Thats brilliant. I may have to steal that one for future use sometime.
The best review I’ve seen on this hotel mate. And cheers for the bonus trip home! I fancy trying the cockpit room but the engine would be a step too far for me 😂
Well done Scott for sleeping in the engine! But it looked horrible actually - if it had been been me, I'd have been running across the road to the Radisson!
Outside and through the snow in the night for the bathroom. You, sir, are a hearty soul. Fun video.
That Jumbo engine compartment looked a dreadfully-claustrophobic place to stay!
Give me a hotel room with an en-suite any night!
Loved it. Glad you stayed in the 747 Jet so I do not need to! Thanks.
We were over in the UK September/ October from NZ. In the end, Wetherspoons, became our eating place of choice. Reasonable prices and staff were friendly! One thing I’d like to say is, we were there for about five weeks and didn’t find one obnoxious person. I think that says something!
There may be some snobbishness about Greggs and Wetherspoons but I don't care. They are great.
Leroy sounded like a cool guy. You are right a table a hook would be an easy modification to the engine cabin.
I’ve slept on a jumbo jet at 35000 feet and I didn’t have to go outside for the toilet.
Brave man, that Jumbo hotel was novel but hard work
Scott I hope you get to go over 50k subscribers with this video.
Your 100.000th subscriber here! Congratulations! Love the content!
What a brill experience barring the toilet issue
It would look fantastic in Pan Am colours
But it would have to be the livery that would have been used on the plane when built and if operated by PanAm then.
I'm biased, but a Singapore Airlines Livery would have broken me. I might have flown on that plane in the 80's. BTW- there is no way that I'm staying at the top. I looked it up and couldn't find the engine room
A bucket list destination for me. Maybe in the summer though!
Lovely video Scott.
Really, no Star Trek joke in the comments yet? I mean: Scott(y) staying in the engine room! Great video!
Ye cannae change the laws of physics!
This was interesting. The accommodations seem a bit contrived and the lack of any sort of bathroom would deter anyone but the young. But what was cute were the tables and chairs on the wing so maybe it’s more doable in the summer.
The photo of Pan Am brought back nice memories.
Well they do advertise it as a hostel, not a hotel, so ...
But I assume even hostels have indoor plumbing, especially in that climate 🤷🏻♀️
Excellent! Always wanted to stay there. 2500 SEK or £187 ish is pretty good for the cockpit when it’s available (had a quick look and there is some availability).

Oh my, I think y ou found the strangest "hotel" I've ever seen! Thank you for tomenting yourself for us!
Very interesting one, loved it,
Fantastic.....
This is an experience I would love to have. ❄❄❄❄🌨❄❄❄🛬 ❄
Brilliant Scott. Thanks for taking us along. Definitely a bucket list check-off.
49.9k subscibers!!!!! Lets get to 50k+
Love the longer videos. Keep them coming.
Surely I'm not the only one to see the delightful wonder of Scott(y) in the engine room aboard a flying vessel?
What a great vlog. And staying in an engine housing as well! Such a unique experience. Thanks for posting. Safe travels. Cheers

Staying in an engine... what a (jet)blast !
Ha!
Scandinavia is still on my "to do" list, but I have never been there. But probably it will happen one time. Not by plane though: I always travel by train, ferry and local public transport.

This is such an amazing place to stay.
Ive seen those automatic coffee machines having a paleery and giving out dish water. Im having a wee coffee watching your video :)
What a unique experience
Thanks Scott that was an excellent video I’m originally from Glasgow and you flying into Glasgow airport in the middle of winter brought back lots of memories 👍
A very unique accommodation. I'd love to sleep in the cockpit!
Great video

Great video! I love the bonus videos. Would love more of them. Thanks!
Great vlog as usual
Bucket list 1 item less
Bet biggest issue on return was bus into paisley at that time
Stay safe scott
Hi Scott. Absolutely loved this video. Thank you and have a good week.
well done, brave man, nice video . more please . from mick in the uk.
A Big thumbs for a direct and honest review of JumboStay. (been there a couple of times. It has a somewhat of a novelty. at least first)Looking forward to see more from your RUclips channel. Lastly.

Really enjoying your videos scott,, v enlightening, hours better tv your vids.

Hi Robbie, many thanks for your support. It's greatly appreciated.
I've seen photos of this "hotel" before but yours is the first video I've watched of someone actually staying there. I could stay in the plane itself but no way in the engine pod. Way too claustrophobic for me and I want the "mod coms" handy! BTW, we're still waiting for you to create some "cruising altitude" coffee-themed merch :)
Easily the oddest stay I’ve seen. Cheers from Minneapolis (-13 C lows for a few days coming up).
15:30 Pretty sure the colours aren't faded at the top but just covered in snow.
Defo one of my favourite RUclipsrs !
Very interesting video, 😊
Hi Scott, Last year I'd pre-booked eight months in advance the cockpit at Jumb Stay. Unfortunately, a week before my departure, BA decided to cancel my flight, and that was the end of my plans! Stockhom is one of my favourite places. The locals are truly some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet.
Nice video
Loved this video! Great job 👏👏👏👏
Awesome video buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy 👍 😊
Great stuff scott and I was shocked supprised how can get cheap flights ✈️ that's amazing thanks enjoyed a lot too this video thanks
Just choose your time. I once did Stansted - Västerås for less than the price of two cups of coffee, £5.95.
Hi Scott, wow that was really different, a hotel room in a 747 jet engine cowling couldn’t get much more unique. Thanks for that and all the tips 😀
At 9:33 notice the Satellite dish which is literally pointing down at the equator given how far north Stockholm is.
Great video Scott.Thx
Class 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hired a car from Arlanda last May and passed this plane, what an amazing place to stay!
Brilliant video as ever Scott 👍🙂 Had to be worth a stay but the toilet/shower being in the main part of the plane meaning a walk in the cold from your engine room (see what I did there 😉) at night would probably put me off.
Great that you kept the camera rolling after you checked out and showed us your trip back to Glasgow. I find your on screen comments very funny 🤣 Looking forward to your next video already 👍🙂
Great but cold video, anxtious to the next one, I enjoyed it as always, like your light ironic way of vlogging.
Loved the video ...but not your choice of accommodation! I would have failed at check in ...those icy steps .. No insude toilet .....Ill pass but gkad you showed us all - Bravo 😊
Can't wait for next week xx
- You slept in WHAT? 😁 Thanks for a great video, have to subscribe!
Loving your videos Scott
Very cool, but I think I’d try to stay in a room in the fuselage - assuming I could afford it, maybe, maybe not. It looks so cold in Sweden in January (duh!), I think you need one of those arctic hats!
Great Video Scott. The jumbo stay is on my bucket list to stay at hopefully in the next year or so. Hope you are well. Looking forward to the next video
What a fun trip
Finally finished the book thoroughly enjoyed it ❤❤❤
A great video the hotel was certainly different. I've had long stopovers at Stansted and I started to go in to Bishops Stortford for a few hours it passed the time well.
Always a proper full strength brew
👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 🇦🇺
Definitely it would be better getting a room inside the aircraft
Sounds like the hotel was great in concept but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of execution.
And I wouldn’t fancy those stairs to the engine pod in the night if there is snow/ice on them…
Brilliant ❤
No loo? Dealbreaker. Don't fancy getting dressed in the middle of the night, then grabbing a torch to treck through the freezing snow and ice and get inside to find some other guest has already nabbed it for a nice 30min long shower.... Staying inside may be worth the extra cash. Brilliant video ❤😊
Or change the colour of the snow.
Great video.... different and bizarre accommodation. Maybe ok if your not claustrophobic.
Really like your videos Scott. Seen a recent video from another traveller recently who had that cabin in the flight deck. Maybe worth trying that next time.
Impressive .
I stayed there almost 2 years ago in the cockpit suit for 3 nights & it was an experience to remember! Yeah ignore the Jumbo Stay website when it comes to info of how to get there as it is outdated, which I learned while I was there in April 2022.
Stayed there last year we stayed in the black box suite and cockpit suite. It was bad with snow then 😂😂
I spent my 18th birthday here in 2015, I've been again in 2018 & 2022, staying in the fuselage on all three times. Would love to go back in 2025 and stay in the cockpit, worth the money from my view- but wish me luck!
Nice vid, you look a bit like David Moyes
