SPECIAL STORY

Fi connection and extra levels of comfort and convenience make it easy
for business travellers to remain productive and in touch.
First Apartments take luxury to new heights with nine private spaces,
each equipped with designer tableware, a spacious leather lounge chair,
and a separate ottoman that transforms into an 80” lie-flat bed. First-
class guests can enjoy personal vanity units and access to the exclusive
First-class shower room.
The Residence
At the pinnacle of luxury is The Residence, the world’s only three-
room suite in the sky. Accommodating up to two guests, The Residence
features a private living room, bedroom, and ensuite bathroom, complete
with a shower at 40,000 feet. A dedicated team of Etihad cabin crew
ensures unparalleled service.
Guests in The Residence can indulge in a culinary journey with an à la
carte menu, served on designer tableware in the private living room, or
even opt for breakfast in bed. From gourmet cuisine to champagne and
caviar, The Residence Signature High Tea offers a range of lavish options.
“We want to ensure guests arrive in the Big Apple feeling refreshed
and at ease. This commitment is crucial for all our travellers, not least our
corporate clients who rely on us for business travel, and we have timed
our A380 services, so customers arrive in New York or Abu Dhabi in time
to make good use of the business day, or for their onward connections,”
says Neves.
Introducing the A380 to the popular New York route aligns with
Etihad’s strategy to meet increasing customer demand and expand its
network.
The increase in capacity will also make it easier to attract a greater
number of visitors eager to explore the dynamic attractions of Abu Dhabi
and savour the premium leisure experience on offer from Etihad.
