since 2008, san francisco-based company airbnb has been building up a marketplace of accommodations in more than 35,000 cities and 190 countries. the community-driving hospitality company’s aim is all about offering a platform in which individuals can monetize their extra space and present it to a larger global audience. in doing so, airbnb connect individuals with unique travel experiences across the globe — whether it be a just a short stay in a marrakech apartment, a week in a giraffe manor, or a month in a hut in tropical malaysia.

the diverse and impressive range of more than 800,000 lodgings offered by its hosts, satisfying all types of excursions abroad, is what fueled airbnb to initiate the ‘night at…’. the campaign is airbnb’s way of giving back to its network, by offering people from all over the world the chance to spend a night in unusual and unexpected places. having previously put forth the opportunity to win a stay at france’s historic and spectacular chenonceau châteaux, airbnb now takes its offerings to new heights by giving away three nights (for 2-4 persons each) inside a KLM plane.

but, this is not just any aircraft, it is the dutch airline company’s characteristic three-engined MD-11 (mcdonnell-douglas) airbus, which took its last commercial passenger flight this fall, ending an 80-year-long cooperation between KLM and mcdonell-douglas. to acknowledge the departure of the airplane from its fleet, KLM has partnered with airbnb to commission amsterdam-based interior design and branding firm TANK to refurbish the MD-11’s internal cabin and transform it into a loft space, equipped with all the amenities you need to feel right at home.

this opportunity to experience an aircraft in a rare way requires little effort. the revamped KLM airliner is set to be posted on airbnb.com, and through its listing, you will be able to enter the competition. all you need to do is tell airbnb ‘WHY’ you should be the one to spend a night on a plane and you could see yourself flying high on either the nights of november 28, 29 or 30th.
