WORLD'S BEST FIRST CLASS | Etihad Apartments (Surprising My Dad)

What is the worlds most expensive First Class? What is the worlds best First Class? These are two questions I see asked in the comments on every video and today we finally put this to rest. There are few airlines with a reputation like that of Etihad airways let alone any that offer a first class experience such as the Etihad Apartments. This is truly the world’s best, mostly highly rated, exclusive and expensive first class experience. This is easily one of the most special flight experiences I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. Not only do the Etihad Apartments offer the most incredible first class experience to every passenger but getting to experience all of this and share it with my father on his 60th birthday made all of the points collecting, learning, waiting and planning easily worth it. Stick around to see a full flight review, lounge review, in flight services, food / culinary review, how it stacks up against competitors such as Emirates, Singapore airlines and more. This surprise has been a long time in the works so if you enjoy the video leave a comment and subscribe for more videos just like this!

[@ELLIOTCHOY]

the audio mixing of your dad saying "it's a big room" is amazing hahahha

[@mikeb0918z01]

I love Ricky's creativity.

[@JamesBW]

Came here to say this. Amazing editing.

[@_Ricky]

Big praise from the king of fire edits! Thank you Elliot

[@cerealbawxtv]

Exactly what I came to the comment section for 😂😂 love it

[@PabloMartinez-zw9ed]

dad is so grateful and so wholesome, it shows how well he raised Ricky haha

[@chrisvoy10]

Wow, that's an amazing birthday gift. The bond between your dad and you is beautiful.

[@_Ricky]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@ramykhalil4283]

You’re an awesome son. The connection you have with your dad is so heartwarming.

[@_Ricky]

I appreciate that

[@KevinYang]

Being able to share these insane experiences with loved ones, especially (aging) parents just gives feelings on a whole nother level. I got to do so with my parents on a trip throughout Asia on SQ and ANA J and it's a feeling I'll remember forever. Your dad must be proud for all your success Ricky!

[@thetranquiltraveller]

What an amazing experience to be able to share with your dad on his 60th. And hearing him say how grateful he is and honoured. What a video!

[@thereisnoaddress]

This is the sweetest thing ever!! I was just saying to Rachel a few days ago that maybe the best gift from churning is the friendships and relationships we created along the way, and this is such a sweet thing for you to do for your dad and he is so grateful land appreciative 💛

[@kalihagenstede4485]

This and the KLM video with your Dad have been truly great. A lovely man and a great bond between the two of you, let’s hope he features again!

[@_Ricky]

Thank you very much!

[@brandondixon3049]

I love that you and you’re dad were able to experience this moment together. Watching his reactions to the service and amenities was so wholesome

[@fluttergrrl]

This video brought me so much joy. I took my mother to Vatican City on her birthday. It’s so heartwarming when we can exceed our parent’s expectations and treat them to something spectacular. The space and ambiance on the plane was breathtaking. I giggled when you tried to open the shower door.

[@swimtothemoon11]

I’d love to hear a full-length “over a couple of drinks” conversation with you and your Dad! Not even to do with travel or points. Just about life and whatever comes to mind. I’d watch the heck out of that :)

[@xXheartszXx]

wow your dad is so young! happy birthday uncle & hope you enjoyed the experience

[@fry888chip]

I loved watching this video. You should do more videos with your dad! Beautiful relationship. He looks like he's so grateful to be on this flight

[@paulkazzer]

A lovely review. What a special experience to share with your father. Hard to tell who was the more proud of each other.

[@Newfoundtravel]

What an awesome gift birthday gift for your Dad. As we would say in Newfoundland , You are the spit of your Dad.

[@richardfelixgoncalves1641]

Look, Rick, congratulations to your dad and may God always bless his life and also your flight, which was the best of your life and couldn't be more different on this special day and more than that it gives him guidance until the day that God wants, but everything will be good for him, congratulations to your dad. Thank you.

[@estheticsguru]

This is an amazing video!!! What an awesome way to honor your father. You are a very good son!!

[@samsanjeevan2096]

Wonderful to see another fellow arsenal fan enjoying flying!!

[@katherinefangirling]

Loooove!! What an incredible experience 🥰 I beamed the whole time and loved his commentary and happiness. Thank you for spoiling him and sharing with us!

[@nicolemoehling1353]

You should try the Etihad residence on the A380

[@biscuitsandgroovy576]

My darling son made me 😢. What a wonderful day.

[@henniebogan1966]

What an incredible opportunity for both of you to spend a very special time and experience together. Thank You for bringing us along and for allowing us to share it with you.

[@dr1ft3r07]

Its an awesome surprise for your dad. Cheers!

[@neilcarr9340]

What a wonderful birthday present for your dad, Ricky! Really enjoyed the video, particularly your dad's reactions. I'm booked in business on an A380 Ethihad flight to JFK in August. After watching your video, I'm now tempted to upgrade to first.

[@Rboy23]

The ‘yea, it’s a big room’ reverb edit is killing me bro 😂. Well done G

[@mikeb0918z01]

Thanks for sharing, Ricky! Always watch your videos to the end.

[@jayzee316]

Amazing stuff, Your dad seems so happy, definitely worth it!

[@narenbio]

“yea…it’s a big room” S-tier sample

[@ZoeAkiko]

Amazing video!! I need try this flight out 😍

[@sumitkar8146]

Great video - super cool dad and a great bday experience

[@mikeshashimi1405]

Boomer dads will literally watch the news in every TV any where in the world but their own home :D

[@_Ricky]

Seriously 😂

[@dyhppyx]

Asian viewers really appreciate what it means for you to take your parent on this flight

[@_Ricky]

Filial piety just hits different

[@jocelyn-r]

I enjoy your videos, but this one with your father took it to a whole other level. You're a good son +

[@jeraldb2868]

What a great experience….the shot of your dad passed out sleeping…brilliant 😂

[@Andrewclaridge]

so special for you and also for your Father!!

[@user-pi2nl6iu2n]

Nice experience!

[@kokisuga2222]

Heart-warming video

[@PabloC49]

Amazing to be able to provide such an experience for your parent(s)

[@itsehsanh]

Great experience man. I flew Etihad Apartments twice in 2020. Best flights of my life. Better than ANA, Japan Airlines, Lufthansa all in first class. What an experience

[@BitesizeBriefly]

great video, keep it up

[@louiseleonard1992]

I have never flown with this airline before i am always a Emirates fan but happy birthday to your dad Ricky

[@patriciafuchs5970]

[@eddy67]

Traveling like a king!

[@daleschreyer1161]

Very cool Ricky

[@valsquyres]

What a cool experience! Happy birthday to your dad. I'll be 70 in a few days and doing a staycation.Looking forward to jacuzzi in my room. Almost as good as a shower on a p!ane. 😀 Excellent video, my new favorite!

[@dorothymarsh-aller3336]

Next try The Residence, you have a real bed .

[@suveersinghdugal2497]

“Yeah it’d a big room in the looping in the background music is hilllarious”

[@danwickramasinghe4744]

Well Done Ricky !!!

[@Xg78]

Great Video :)

[@ankurq7]

Goals!

[@CC-in4xr]

Pops is falling asleep because of all the champagne! 😂 What a great surprise for your dad! 💚

[@djbabygggudani7911]

Wow ,did your Dad know the tickets were 20grand each ??or did you use mileage points ..My dad would probably have a HEART ATTACK if I spent that much money on a ticket ..lol

[@_Ricky]

Asian dad wouldn’t be able to handle it 😅

[@redbuddha3482]

That Etihad flight took years off your dad!

[@BryceCo-m8p]

No way was this booked with points...how much did you actually pay?

[@_Ricky]

65,000 Aeroplan points per person

[@fremarperalta2235]

Very good son..

[@Molinski44]

PROTECT RICKY’S DAD AT ALL COSTS.

[@oZmarkHam]

More family travel ! .... Eh eh

[@leoprdsoul1]

The shower *seems* like a good idea, but ... according to former flight attendants' accounts and other accounts I follow, the water on airplanes is pretty bad. Like, you should never drink it. I wonder how "purified" the shower water is, if at all...? Yikes...!

[@PetriTemiseva]

Nothing wtong with the water. Some people are just concerned that it (some of it) may have been too many days in the tank. It is definitely better than the tab water in most of the countries.

[@pascalsauvage2275]

THANK YOU SAM CHUI!!!! ANOTHER TOP CLASS VIDEO FROM YOU.

[@willwang9936]

lolol

[@haryanvijaat1604]
