What It's Like in Etihad Airways' Ultra-Luxurious, Three-Room $32,000 USD Residence Suite
You have your own butler, for starters.
Firmly in the territory of luxuries you can only dream about is Etihad Airways’ premium cabin option that goes several steps beyond first class — the Residence suite aboard its brand new Airbus A380 jumbo jet. While it is far beyond the financial means of everyone except the world’s richest, Brian Kelly, who otherwise goes by The Points Guy, was able to grab the $32,000 USD, three-room suite for himself for free on the A380’s inaugural flight from New York to Abu Dhabi using his wealth of air miles.
Cue 13 hours of the best in airborne luxury, from being picked up by two chauffeurs at your apartment (one car for you and the other for your luggage), to a private apartment at the Etihad lounge; a personal Savoy Academy-trained butler who greets you as you board; drinks engraved with your name and flight details; the ability to request any meal you wish; an onboard shower; and a full-length bed. Taking opulence to a new level, watch the video above, and for a hotel to stay at your destination, check out the Versace hotel in Dubai.
