The World's Most Expensive Airplane Suite Comes With a Couch, Big-screen TV, and Shower — See Inside

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to fly with the most expensive plane ticket in the world, prepare to be amazed.

In a recent video, YouTuber Casey Neistat reviewed Etihad’s The Residence, available on an A380. It’s a veritable “apartment in the sky” that not only offers guests a seat on one of the airline’s long-haul flights, but provides a spacious living room built for two, a private bathroom, a secluded bedroom, butler service, and turn-down service.

Neistat stayed in The Residence on a flight from Abu Dhabi to New York City, a ticket that would cost anywhere between $31,000 and $41,000 for a one-way trip that lasts a little over 12 hours. According to the Daily Mail, a ticket on this flight could cost up to $68,000.

Obviously, prices can vary depending on the flight length and destinations. According to One Mile At A Time, a stay in The Residence on a flight from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi costs about $13,000. It’s certainly a lot of money, even for a long flight, but some people have managed to score deals on this high-priced home in the sky. For example, influencer Sam Huang managed to get the ticket for only $104 using frequent flier miles.

Neistat looks particularly blown away by The Residence’s amenities, and frankly, we’re right there with him.

First, Neistat checks out the living room, which offers a two-person sofa complete with footrest, a big-screen TV, a pull-out table for meals or drinks, personal drinks cooler, and of course, lots of space and privacy. And when we say space, think: the size of some New York City studio apartments. But on an airplane. This is also where four-course in-flight meals are served by the smartly dressed butlers.

Neistat also checks out the bathroom, located in the hallway of the suite (yes, there is a hallway), which came with not only a toilet and sink, but also a shower with 10 minutes of hot water and lots of complimentary toiletries. It even had a plush bathrobe. Neistat took full advantage of this private lavatory by taking a shower during his flight.

In the bedroom, Neistat’s video shows the turn-down service in action. He stretches out on the bed (again, big enough for two), and shows off the bedroom’s big-screen TV and full-sized mirror.

Overall, Neistat was psyched to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime (for most) experience. However, he notes that The Residence’s price is quite steep. “If you're looking to spend about the price of a new Toyota on one flight, what an experience,” he says in the video.
