A MAN has revealed how he makes £850 a day after transforming a Boeing 727 "once owned by Pablo Escobar" into an ultimate Airbnb with a hot tub and a sauna. Johnny Palmer, founder of PYTCH, bought the 57-year-old aircraft in mid-2020 after it had been scrapped but its fuselage preserved.

Now, after turning it into an Airbnb, the entrepreneur makes up to £850 a day when the property is rented out. He said: "Some people have been saying it's the most expensive accommodation in Bristol. "It goes up to £850 for Christmas Day which is bloody expensive for four people.".

Johnny said while some stay over at the property, others will just use it for a party and go home at the end of the night. The kitted out 727 comes with a sauna and a hot tub as well as space for four guests and a full kitchen. Johnny added that the transformed aircraft is very popular both with visitors and locals.

The businessman said: "It's got a lot of support. "People in the area like it because it makes a s****y industrial estate quite an interesting part of town.". The property is available for hire on Christmas day and comes with "a bit of Christmas décor" alongside a few Santa hats.

"People can have a Christmas dinner in a billionaire's private jet, 32 feet from the ground," he said. "With the cost of living crisis, you might not be able to afford getting away but you can stay on a private jet and have your Christmas dinner in the air.".
