• For a wedding with a wanderlust theme: small planes as table decoration or table scatter – and the excitement about the honeymoon joins you at the table.
• In a travel agency or shop window: several sizes hung at different heights. The display tells of the next holiday without a single word.
• As a garland for a child's bedroom: thread several silhouettes onto a string. A small squadron of planes flies past above the bed.

Good to know about the Jumbo Jet

"Jumbo Jet" is the nickname of the Boeing 747. This wide-body aircraft made travel affordable for many people from 1970 onwards. It is still seen as a symbol of wanderlust today. That is why the silhouette suits travel-themed parties and farewell parties so well. It is also a nice way to wrap a travel voucher.
