• New: Virgin and NASA's supersonic space tourism plane
  • Experience: This is how it is to travel in a private jet for 5,000 euros per hour

It is a true five star hotel in the heights. That is why the B747-8, with an area of ​​450 square meters and six meters wide by 72 meters long, is considered the most expensive and luxurious private jet in the world. Translated into euros, the price figure is around 370 million euros on the market.

In the case of the model in question, the most VIP of its category, put up for sale by the royal family of Qatar, the price (although it has not been officially announced) could reach 500 million euros, since its interior is full of luxury objects and services.

Its value increases even more considering that Boeing, the company that manufactures this type of device, has announced that it will stop manufacturing it. The aircraft is adapted for 89 passengers to enjoy it, although it has a capacity for 450 people.

Three years to decorate it in Switzerland

However, the owners preferred to reduce the capacity and have the space, divided into three floors, to their liking. To do this, the device spent three years in Switzerland, where it was remodeled to suit its capricious owners. In the city of Basel in particular, they adapted it to accommodate 10 opulent suites equipped with the latest technology with their corresponding bathrooms to which nine more must be added for the crew , made up of 14 employees in total.

This Boeing model has an area of ​​450 square meters.

The luxurious equipment continues with seven kitchens distributed on the three levels, two meeting rooms , several libraries, a dining room with capacity for 14 people, 33 television monitors and tablets, a full-length decorated bar with comfortable armchairs, as well as an exclusive catering service that varies in each tour depending on the preferences of its users.

A fleet of 12 aircraft

This B474-8 does not lack neither an infirmary in case of any mishaps on board nor a wide seating area for first and business class passengers . Even so, the only ones who have used this five-star flyer operated by Qatar Airways have been members of the royal family or high-ranking rulers of the Persian Gulf country .

The plane has two meeting rooms like this one.

It is not his only whim in the air. They have more than a dozen luxury private jets similar to this B747-8, which came into their hands in 2012. Since then, no more than 1,000 hours have been used . Perhaps that is why they have now decided to get rid of him, as they did with their twin in the summer of two years ago. The Turkish government was bought it.
