Lily Airways opened to the public earlier this month with France and US-themed courses in Wuhan, a central China megacity of 20 million.
Menu prices vary from $25 to $60, and the 20 dinner tables inside the converted cabin can host up to 200 guests per day. To keep the airline vibe, overhead bins are conveniently used to keep guests' personal belongings and staff are dressed in flight attendant uniforms. Nothing has been dramatically changed except for seating area, apparently, to be much much more humane and friendly on the knees.

"Flying is uncomfortable because not everybody gets to fly in business class," said Li Lang, mastermind behind the $5 million investment. "Here we will completely subvert the onboard dining experience," Li told BuzzFeed News in a telephone interview.

Foodies lucky enough to cut the long line will get the full flying experience — without the actual flight. Everyone gets a boarding pass, waits in the waiting room, goes through the gate via a jet bridge onto the airplane.
Considering the money you pay for the experience, it's kind of a shame you don't actually go anywhere after all that.
