Me: hesitating to ask for the full can of 7-up because they give you like 2 sips worth.

Which doesn't always work out. Many places with syrup and not bottles have a button with a programmed amount, so you get the same amount of coke regardless of ice or not.

Air travel: the most expensive way to feel poor.

[@DT-hp8de]

So, what I figured out by watching this video: If you are flying with a group of 4-6 people, everyone splits the price of the apartment or residence ticket and then buys just economy class tickets. Once airborne, everyone just meets in the apartment!

[@aquagamer1212]

Everyone should get premium or business and do this because you can’t share the food or bed in the apartment.

Yep, noticed same thing.I recently flew etihad apartment and was told off for fliming. Not pleseant. Seems they only let you film if you are a Sam Chui type or points guy person.

[@sirBrouwer]

@@nicotuoze the thing is people like Sam or the lads here will most likely ask permission from the company when booking. When granted you can film all you want. (it's not really that hard to get one).

[@sirBrouwer]

@@nicotuoze it has more to do with other fellow passengers. There can be people on board that absolutely don't want to be filmed for there security. When you request to be allowed to film they will make sure that a person likes that will be at the other side of the airplane or even take a different route.

[@sirBrouwer]

@@nicotuoze I read what you are saying but I am also trying to look in to the reason. even more if you say it's only at the apartments and residence. it's clear that there is a reason why. I don't know what the only thing is when you are filming (even if you only intend on filming yourself) your camera will also record stuff in the background. in the residence suites high officials also make use of them. if you per accident film them (not even knowing yourself who they are) and post that video online you may film someone that is not to be seen do to safety. The suites are the best for that because when you use those seats you don't see much who is in who unless shown but walking by when one of the door just go open may be enough for someone that does know to use it. when you ask permission those people that are sensitive to been seen will be notified before hand. they will ether fly a other plain or they will make sure that they are never outside there suite when your door is open or you are out.

I've flown with both etihad and Qatar! They're both amazing!

[@Bobrogers99]

For the price of the Residence you could have more than forty (40) of your closest friends fly in comfortable Economy seats and have quite decent-looking dinners. Even Business (Studio) Class would pay for ten Economy passengers. That Etihad finds it profitable to provide such opulence tells us something about the distribution of wealth in the world today.

[@evansahlstrom2602]

A more detailed understanding of the aviation industry demonstrates that without the high prices for luxury seats, the airlines would be unable to stay in business, let alone make a decent profit and remain stable. Everyone in economy barely pay for the over head it costs for their flight. As unfair as it may seem comparing these seats , remember that those expensive seats are what make an affordable flight possible.

[@Bobrogers99]

@@evansahlstrom2602 I agree that the expensive seats help to subsidize the cheap ones. The fact that there are enough people/corporations willing and able to pay for them says something about the structure of today's society.

[@charlieschneider5649]

I love these videos. Keep it up!

[@einsiol]

Few people are now paying for air travel, one way tickets, for the same price most people pay for their rent in a year. These ultra-luxury spaces on aeroplanes are a grotesque metaphor for the ever-increasing wealth inequality. And not only that, in a time when we need to see less air travel, fewer people and more wait are being transported by planes than ever before.
