The $20,000 Residence on Etihad A380

There's nothing like The Residence in commercial air travel.
The Residence is above First Class; with a living room, separate bedroom and en-suite shower room, it is the only three-room suite on a commercial airline in the world. It is indeed the World's Premiere Flying Experience.
I hadn't flown The Residence in 2 years and I was very keen to re-live this fantastic experience, so I decided to dress up for the occasion. This flight was Etihad's inaugural A380 service from Abu Dhabi to Seoul Incheon.
On the return flight from Incheon to Abu Dhabi (next episode), I will be back in Economy to see the differences in travel experience on the same plane.
-------
Join me for my third, spectacular experience in Etihad Airway’s The Residence! The Residence is completely out of this world within the field of luxury, commercial passenger aviation, far surpassing any first class service that you might care to mention. It is unique in so many ways from providing the only, true double bed in a public, commercial aviation setting within your cabin to the provision of your own personal butler whilst in The Residence lounge and also whilst up in the air, trained in the prestigious Savoy Hotel in London.
I take the inaugural flight from Abu Dhabi international airport to Incheon Airport in Seoul, South Korea at the invitation of Etihad Airways, celebrating the launch of this new route in The Residence. I will be making the return journey in economy class in my next video guys, so watch out for that one!
If you’d like to see my first and second Residence experiences, you can see these in my videos here:
• Etihad A380 The Reside...
• Most Luxurious Flight ...
The Residence flying experience provides a home from home on the ground and then in the sky where any need or desire you could think of is expertly and carefully taken of. The Residence experience starts with being chauffeur driven in a luxury car (typically Audi, BMW or Mercedes) to the first class, VIP terminal of the airport where you are met by your personal luggage carrier, butler and chef.
Whilst waiting for your flight, you are housed in your own little palace with access to a spa (I opt to have an extremely relaxing and very nice and pleasant foot massage) and even a smoking room, lavishly decorated and stocked with the finest cigars, including Cuban, from around the world. Your own personal chef is on hand to deliver a Michelin Star level of dining experience, with each dish being hand crafted to your requirements and set in front of you with an explanation of each of the components of the dish before you begin eating. There are a wide variety of premium wines, spirits, beers and champagne to choose from.
Within your Residence lounge, there is a large, wall-mounted television and library. The Residence on the ground experience is absolutely sublime and a true masterpiece of comfort and service for the passenger.
At the gate to the aeroplane, I am met by the person who is to be my butler in the air. He introduces himself and up in the air, it’s clear that he cares - that’s what’s so great about Etihad Airway’s The Residence - the personal touch. They have researched my background before the day and present me with a number of aviation magazines to read and enjoy on the flight, as well as a framed photo of myself and a certificate to commemorate my travelling on this inaugural flight with Etihad in The Residence.
I am extremely impressed with the food I receive on the flight, with a delicious steak and chips being put before me as the main course and delicious little Asian sandwiches with succulent meat as a starter. I am also treated to Bellini Cipriani wine and a wonderful post-dinner digestif of Cellar 28 Remy Martin - greater opulence you couldn’t imagine, honestly!
After dinner, I can sprawl out on my double bed and watch TV in private, after taking a very relaxing and refreshing shower in my private bathroom on board. After sleeping, I rub my eyes to see my personal butler bringing a luxurious and mouth-watering breakfast of waffles and raspberries, served with champagne to get me in the mood to face a new day before we land.
Overall, I am once again bowled over by Etihad’s provision for me within The Residence class on board and I hold Etihad Airway’s The Residence in the highest regard. Would did you think of the whole fantastic experience? Let me know in the comments - as always, I am very pleased to share these gems of an aviation experience with you, my audience, and I thank you for watching.

[@SamChui]

This is not my first time flying The Residence. One of the main goal I have here is to make a better video to share the experience so I invested in better gears, with a professional videographer traveling with me. Unlike the first and second time which I paid my own Residence flight, this (3rd time!) is indeed an invite from Etihad like i mentioned early in the video. I asked to go one way in The Residence and return in economy to have a feel the differences.

Actually... No. Those that can indeed afford the residence flight probably have a high enough rate that, they either 1. don't care about the price at all, or 2. just need more "full power" time to make more money which worths way more than the extra few hours of luxury time.

I agree, it's just too much excess, practically a crime! We've got homeless people on the street who don't know if they can eat today, and then you have all this disgusting excess and too much food. Too much unbalance in this world. Just crazy!

Because of you, Sam, every time I see an Etihad butler, I only think of Leanne. She was so professional and set the standard very very high. You’re very lucky to have been served by her.

[@pc-1616]

Light York hey sorry it’s a typo and it’s changed now thanks so much

[@davitkhachikyan8979]

What happened with her??

[@Naganopl]

@Light York Well, in Polish you say "Chui" same as "Chuj" which mean - "Dick" :D Regarding Leanne. I remember her in first flight and in the second flight. She was eager and professional but last time her behavior was different. It was evident that she felt disgusted and embarrassed...
