The Residence by Etihad Airways Gives You Tons of Leg Room in the Sky
Laura McQuarrie — May 6, 2014 — Luxury
If you've got the cash and despise flying on cramped overseas flights, 'The Residence' is a new offering from Etihad Airways that will give you way more space than any first class ticket. The upper deck of Etihad's A380 aircraft is now transformed to hold a three-room apartment that includes a shower, a double bed, plus a butler to attend to your every need during the flight.
If a temporary in-air 125 square foot apartment is just a little out of your price range, or seems a little excessive, at one tier lower than The Residence, the Dubai airline also offers 'First Apartment class,' which are spacious seating cabins that include full beds, minibars, vanities and wardrobes for passengers.
