AirBnB in Mid Wales created from a 1970s private plane
Tamir Ali acquired half of a 1970s Hawker jet in December 2023, from an acquittance who deals with "unique features".
The plane had been used by an oil company to transport employees through the 1970's and 80's before being decommissioned.
It was cut in half with the wings removed for ease of transport.
The dad-of-four spent seven months and nearly £90k transforming the jet and turning it into a rental property in Dolgellau in Gwynedd.
The unique home is complete with two bedrooms - sleeps two adults and two children - and has a fully functioning kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and outdoor seating area.
The pet friendly property has only been on Airbnb for three weeks, but is already at 70 per cent occupancy.
Tamir, who restores classic cars, from Leicester, said: "It's awesome - when people walk in they say it's much bigger than it seems on the outside.
"It's almost like you're in a normal home.
"It's a unique experience, not many people get to sit in the cockpit of 70's private jet."
The plane was "a bit worse for wear" when Tamir first purchased it for an undisclosed amount in December 2023.
The 38-year-old spent seven months transforming the plane into a quirky holiday home.
The restoration and renovation process included replacing the carpets with wooden floors, rewiring the electrics, and getting a custom-made door fitted.
Tamir secured a location for the plane in Dolgellau and fitted a 16ft by 9ft cabin to it to make enough space for a double bed, kitchen and bathroom.
Tamir said: "I've always worked with eccentric people - people who deal with the weird and wonderful.
"I know a chap in Essex, who said he had something that was up my street.
"It was looking a bit worse for wear, the nose cone was hanging off and there was no door.
"There was lots of mould and moss inside - but I immediately envisioned what I wanted it to be."
The property is called "Alaya Airways" - named after Tamir's youngest daughter Alaya, five.
Alaya Airways - which is technically classified as a glamping pod - is available to rent for £170-a-night.
Tamir added: "It's a very, very cool experience.

Inside the most expensive Airbnb in the UK - where a night's stay is more than the average person's yearly rent
The UK's priciest Airbnb listings have been revealed - and topping the list is a luxury estate in Berkshire that'll set you back an eye-watering £20,000 for one night's stay. Harford Manor, a sprawling private estate that sleeps up to 14 guests, costs a jaw-dropping £20, 564 per night to rent. This means those who are looking to enjoy week-long stay during the height of summer will have to fork out no less than £143,951. The 40-acre estate features landscaped gardens, a private spa, a gym, and enough indoor and outdoor entertainment space to throw Gatsby-style parties. To put it into perspective, the average monthly rent for a new tenancy in the UK was £1,308 in June 2025 - meaning one night at Harford Manor is the same as more than 15 months' rent for average tenant. The estate features landscaped grounds, spa and fitness facilities, and extensive indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces. Another big-budget property on the list is The Artists House in London's Marylebone, which comes in at £121,170 for a week - enough to cover more than seven years of rent in the average UK home. The research, carried out by looked at the 20 most expensive Airbnb rentals currently available in the UK. Another big-budget property on the list is The Artists House in London's Marylebone, which comes in at £121,170 for a week The research, carried out by looked at the 20 most expensive Airbnb rentals currently available in the UK Prices per night range from £2,965 to £20,564, with the average nightly rate sitting at an eye-popping £7,249. For a seven-night stay, guests should expect to pay anywhere from £20,790 to £143,951 - with the average cost for the week tipping over £50,000. Unsurprisingly, London dominates the list, with 13 of the top 20 listings located in the capital, most notably in boroughs renowned for their opulent homes, such as Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Soho and Westminster. Other pricey stays are scattered across the Cotswolds, Dorset, Northern Ireland, Denbighshire and Buckinghamshire. Some of the properties are historic estates in the countryside, while others are are ultra-modern penthouses in the heart of the city. Either way, they all share a seriously high price tag. Even if they're only rented out for half the year, these properties could still generate substantial income through short-term rentals. Harford Manor could make around £3.7 million annually at just 50 per cent occupancy. At the other end of the list, a country estate near Windsor Castle - once owned by Spice Girl Geri Halliwell - could rake in over £540,000 a year. A CompareForexBrokers spokesman says: 'It is difficult to justify some of these costs in practical terms. A seven-night stay at Harford Manor is equivalent to 15 months of average rent in the UK. 'The properties are extraordinary, but the prices highlight just how disconnected parts of the short-term rental market have become from traditional measures of value. 'London's dominance is clear, but when you look outside the capital, the types of high-cost listings shift. In rural areas, the premium is driven by scale, history, or exclusivity. In cities, it is about location and finish.

The Key West stay that changed my mind about the Florida Keys
I'm not a Keys hater—I'm just not a Keys lover. Given the chance to travel anywhere in Florida, I'll always choose the west coast with its miles of sandy beaches and sprawling resorts. Key West is, well, the opposite. Accommodations are usually boutique-y, and going for a swim in the ocean means getting on a boat. Thanks, but no thanks—unless you're taking me to Lunara Bay. I quickly changed my tune about Keys life after a weekend in this new oceanfront development near Stock Island, just minutes from Key West proper. Bookable on Airbnb, the luxury homes are massive—upscale, newly built conch houses with state-of-the-art appliances, modern furnishings, and space for you and your closest friends. The spate of homes can host anywhere from eight to 20 guests—if you can believe it—ranging from four to eight bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. Plus, each home has its own private dock, saltwater pool and outdoor sitting area complete with a grill, sound system, wet bar and fire pit. Truly, a dream rental. We stayed in the Joyrise House, a three-story, 6-bedroom/6-bath beauty that looked straight out of a Crate & Barrel catalog. I can say this confidently after flipping over every vase and checking under every chair, rug, dresser and cushion for the maker—yes, I wanted inspo for my own home. I was that impressed. The chef in our group was equally dazzled by the Viking gas range, matching Viking fridge, and icemaker. Let's just say both of us considered extending our stay… permanently. More than an Airbnb Guests of Lunara Bay are assigned a Guest Experience Manager (GEM), basically a personal concierge to see to your every need before, during and after your stay. Our GEM checked in pre-arrival for a grocery list to stock our fridge, sent restaurant and sightseeing recs, and curated a thoughtful Key West itinerary. We texted throughout our stay, and our GEM always responded quickly. When we scrambled to meet our 10am checkout (honestly, the only downside), we left behind valuables, which housekeeping secured and our GEM safely shipped back. Brightwild operates Lunara Bay (and several other properties) plus an excursion arm with sandbar trips, snorkeling and blissfully chill booze cruises—which we took and loved. I half-expected a rowdy Duval Street crowd on the water, but our mid-afternoon ride was smooth and laid-back. After cruising for about an hour, we found our sandbar and spent another 90 minutes wading in shallow waters before heading back. The pontoon boat was pristine (yes, even the bathroom!) and beer, wine and a sandwich lunch were included. A definite upgrade from my past Keys experiences. Embrace Key West at Lunara Bay Key West is only as fun as your company, and Lunara Bay gives you the space to bring all your favorite people. As a home base, it's close enough for sightseeing, meals or a big night out on Duval Street—without racking up ridiculous Uber fares. Ensuite bathrooms make every room feel like a mini hotel, complete with Salt & Stone and Grown Alchemist body products. The spacious living room and outdoor space give everyone a place to hang out and daydream about life in a mansion this size. For now, we'll plan our next getaway.
