A recent Airbnb posting lists accommodations for up to four people via two bedrooms and three beds. We might as well mention the apartment is an actual freaking airplane.

Adweek's David Kiefaber reports KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is teaming up with Airbnb to offer an airplane apartment.

Head on over to the listing at Airbnb's website if this sounds like something that might still linger on your bucket list.

The website explains, "Spend one night in a real KLM airplane on Nov 28/29/30! To participate in this contest click 'CONTACT HOST' (NOT 'request to book'), pick any date and tell us why and with whom you would like to come (in English - max 100 words)."

Buzz60 explains a bit further:

Now hurry, because you have until Nov. 20 to explain why you absolutely need to stay in an airplane. If you win, you and some fortunate friends or family will be whisked away to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport where the plane is stationed.

The description explains a bit more on what you get with your free stay: "Inside the bright 366 (square meter) plane with 116 windows you will find a large living room, one master bedroom, two children's beds, two kitchens and eight small bathrooms. It comes with Wi-Fi, a toaster, a coffeemaker, comfortable first class chairs, a game console and a giant cockpit panorama window."

While it would seem obvious to many, Airbnb offered some humorous caveats to its contest. Unfortunately, there is no flying allowed on this airplane turned apartment and absolutely no "marshmallow roasting with the jet engines," so don't ask.

Also, consumption of alcohol on the airplane is prohibited, so wait until you disembark to tie one on.

Previously we brought you a story of a Stockholm hostel crafted from a retired plane. However, in that case, you would have to share with visitors who might take up 27 rooms.

As for the retired KLM plane, you get it all to yourself. Just please leave the marshmallows and whiskey at home.
