These decommissioned airplane bar carts are being sold off by Australia-based airline Qantas to offer avid cocktail or travel enthusiasts with a way to integrate a touch of air travel design into their living space.
The bar carts are sourced from the airline's fleet of 747s that were decommissioned earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and come fully stocked with a range of wines as well as other in-flight goodies. The thousands of bar carts show the original signs of wear, which will help to further enhance the authentic nature of the air travel equipment.
The decommissioned airplane bar carts from Qantas are being sold from the airline in the form of the 747 Half Bar Cart and the 747 Full Size Bar Cart that are priced at $975 and $1,475, respectively.
