World's ONLY 3-Room FIRST CLASS Suite (Etihad A380 Residence)

Watch this video to see what it’s like to fly in the most exclusive cabin in the sky: Etihad’s Residence on their Airbus A380!
This three room suite on the Etihad A380 is unlike anything else in the air. We flew from Abu Dhabi to London and experienced everything the Residence had to offer: From the luxurious living room to the opulent bedroom and even the super lux shower! This may just be the world's biggest First Class seat and so much more!!
In this video, you’ll see a complete Etihad Residence Tour, along with the First Class food, impressive inflight entertainment, incredible accommodation, and even the top-notch service from Eithad Airways.
Etihad Airways’ “Residence” is just about the most luxurious and over-the-top experience you can book on any commercial airline. I’ve dreamed of trying it for nearly a decade and can’t believe the opportunity finally came…and it’s all thanks to YOU! Because you watch our videos, we were able to share this unbelievable experience with you!
We’ll even show you how to book the flight for less using a trick a friend shared with us.
At the end, we’ll rate the entire experience using the JebScore and show you exactly how we bought our tickets and what we paid for this.

[@actionjaxxson1749]

I wonder if they “preserved” the experiences right before the 11:55 mark. That had me ROLLING!!! They’re discussing if they think the bed is too small or perfect for two… then it cuts to, “I don’t really need to shower, but we’ve reached the part of the flight where it JUST SEEMS RIGHT to do it.”

[@christopheraplin]

My favorite thing about you guys is that, even though you're incredibly priveledged, you share the same excitement as your viewers trying to put together enough points for a coach roundtrip to disneyland. I'll never stop watching as long as you keep being excited. I'm confident I'll never enjoy the 3 room experience -- but watching you, I know exactly how it would feel. Great work guys!

[@sainnt]

There are no words. As an av geek, this would be the Mount Rushmore of flight experiences on a commercial airliner. Nothing else in the world can top this, and as long as Etihad is still operating these planes, there's hope for a person of modest means as myself to someday cross this off the bucket list.

[@theuglywolf2536]

Except Mount Rushmore is small and generally unimpressive in person

[@sainnt]

@@theuglywolf2536 Yes, but it only has 4 faces on it. When people refer to Mount Rushmore, it's not for its size, but the exclusivity of the faces on it.

Jeb, you’re probably my favorite travel KZbinr because of how genuine you are and how I can relate to you. I’ve seen this experience documented before but similar to watching Doug DeMuro buy his carrera gt, it’s special watching you experience it because I can picture you as someone I’d hang out with. So glad Suzanne was able to go with you. Thanks for sharing with us!

YES!! SATURDAY IS HERE! A NEW VIDEO & *Ethihad RESIDENCE! WOAH!* 🤯 I’ll let you know the verdict once I finish but I’m sure it’ll be a *FABULOUS EXPERIENCE & VIDEO!* 🥂 *THE VERDICT: FABULOUS! Nothing more needs to be said! From the First Class Lounge 🤩to the PRIVATE CAR Transfer to the GLORIOUS A380 Residence Product! A SHOWER SUITE on a PLANE! ✈️ TRULY THIS HAS IT ALL!* I cannot wait to fly Etihad Airways 🇦🇪 someday! Although never in this amount of LUXURY unless I win the lottery!😂😂 At 5:25 *I wish Delta Airlines had taken up the Airbus A380! As a prominent Airbus fan in the post 1990s years when the A380 was first announced I think they would have really benefitted from the A380 especially since in the early 2000s they still also flew the B747-400s The A380 would’ve been a great replacement to upsize capacity on high demand Asia and Europe flights like JFK-CDG 🇫🇷 or AMS 🇳🇱 or even routes like DTW-NRT 🇯🇵 or SEA-ICN 🇰🇷 before they retired all the 747s from those routes!* Who knows! 😅 Also the food on Etihad Residence wow! 😮 It looked SPECTACULAR & ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 🤤 Cheers 🥂 my friend *WHAT A PRIVILEGE & PRICELESS MEMORY FOREVER TO BE SURE!* 😅 Well worth the wait! To fly and for us to watch it all! Also, thanks for sharing all your *FABULOUS* travel experiences over all the years with us here on your channel it has made my life richer and given me much more trips to look forward to! *Also is it just me or does anyone else remember the first time Jeb flew Etihad Airways in FIRST CLASS? I believe it was on the B787-9 from Abu Dhabi to Washington Dulles right??* Thanks again! -Caleb’s Aviation P.S. *HUGE CONGRATS 🎉🎊🍾 ON 737K Subscribers!* 🤯 Also I emailed you about possibly being on my podcast via a video interview plz let me know what you think when you can! 😉 Also I’d guess at 14:14 *MORE THAN 25 stars I’d say maybe 26 or 27! Korean First on the 747-8 was 25 so this has to be at least 25 it’s got to have had better service and a seat/bed I mean an actual bed and private bathroom has to be 7 of 5 stars just on its own! I guess 27 ⭐️ & I was right!* 😃
