The Dutch airline KLM is offering visitors to Amsterdam the chance to spend the night on board a converted plane.

The unique accommodation is being offered for just three nights on the website Airbnb.

It sleeps four guests in two bedrooms, while guests can access the cockpit, where they can enjoy panoramic views of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

There's no shortage of places to spend a penny, of course – with "eight small bathrooms", according to the listing.

Other features include a library (copies of KLM's in-flight magazine are certain to feature), Wi-Fi, a coffee-making facilities, a games console and a home cinema system (Snakes on a Plane, The Aviator, Top Gun or Disney's Planes are among the films on offer).

"House rules" include "no flying", "don't use the inflatable emergency slide", and "no marshmallow roasting with the jet engines".

Runway views: The plane is located right beside Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport.
