The American multinational company, like many fast food chains, tends to remind us of the standardization of experiences. But beyond the usual drive-throughs and golden arches, some McDonald’s outlets worldwide offer truly unique dining experiences. One such extraordinary location is in New Zealand, where a McDonald’s in Taupo is housed inside an aeroplane.
