  "account": "Johor Bahru, August 28 — Adventurous travelers now have the opportunity to spend the night inside a repurposed Boeing 747 aircraft at the 1975 Avenue & Hotel, a newly opened aviation-themed resort in the city. The complex, spread across 14.9 acres in Kempas, houses 18 luxury cockpit suites within two decommissioned wide-body jetliners, Bove and Bey.\n\nOriginally operated by Pan Am and Japan Airlines, respectively, these aircraft were decommissioned and later resold to become part of this unique hospitality experience. The 1975 Avenue & Hotel, developed by Tiong Nam Group, is accessible within a 20-minute drive from the city centre.\n\nUpon arrival, guests are greeted by the resort’s retro, orange-hued design, which elegantly merges elements of hospitality, dining, retail, and leisure activities. In addition to the 18 aviation-themed suites, the complex offers 20 hotel rooms decorated in the style of various countries, providing a broader range of accommodation options.\n\nBeyond the distinctive aircraft suites, the 1975 Avenue & Hotel boasts a range of amenities. These include a lagoon pool surrounded by resort gardens, a cantilevered pool, a sunken Jacuzzi, a fitness center, a spa, a sauna, and a playground for children. The rooms are designed to accommodate up to three people and feature amenities such as a king-sized bed, a separate bathtub, a rain shower bathroom, and a private living area. The nightly rates for these unique accommodations range from RM1,706 to RM2,786, depending on the chosen room type.",
