A former Etihad aeroplane has been converted into a luxurious staycation holiday rental, complete with fuselage bedrooms.

A video tour of the plane-ly impressive accommodation in Tenby, West Wales, has gone viral on TikTok, garnering 800,000 views.

The Airbus A320 - sourced from Cardiff Airport - looks unsuspecting from the outside, but the interior has been totally transformed.

The open-plan living space is crafted within the original fuselage - that's the large outer shell that surrounds the body or cabin of the plane. 

A functional kitchen has been installed in the galley area, the cabin doors are fully operational, and guests will discover Etihad and Air France branded storage, plus aisle dolly trolleys. There's Wi-Fi, too.
