The Residence by Etihad will make you rethink every exclusive experience you’ve ever had

A living room, a double bedroom and an en suite bathroom at 38,000 ft—that’s the crux of this ultra-luxe experience in the sky. The Residence by Etihad (on the Airbus A380) is currently the most indulgent way to fly commercial. A private transfer brings you to a separate entrance at the airport, where check-in is a breeze. A butler (trained at The Savoy, London) will tend to you on-board, appearing with champagne before you’ve even fastened your seat belt.

After you’ve gorged on a Michelin star worthy meal, and watched a film on your 32-inch flat-screen TV, it’s time for bed; literally, as there’s a double bed with plump pillows and fine Egyptian cotton sheets a few steps away. Luckily, you won’t need to worry about bed head; you’ve got a full-height shower (with Acqua di Parma products) at your disposal.

The dining experience at The Residence by Etihad includes custom made Vera Wang glassware and Bernardaud porcelain
