75 Airplanovations

From At-Home Airplane Lounges to Super-Luxe Jets

— June 1, 2009 — Autos
These airplane innovations showcase just how much flight has impacted popular culture. From super-luxurious jet cabins for international flights to homes and cars that fly, we've collected some of the best examples of high-flying creativity in the world.

If you'd rather stay on the ground, check out the home decor options created from old airplane parts, or the Jumbo Hostel, pictured to the right. Swank!

Implications - The travel, tourism and transpiration industries are ones that recognize the importance of creating luxury options that are innovative and creative for those consumers wanting a customizable travel experience. Personal airplane televisions, 5-star meals and personal cabins are all innovations that follow the pattern of making the travel experience unique in a world where every product is the same and personal flavor is lost on the buyer.
