Etihad\u2019s The Residence goes above and beyond: it\u2019s a deliberately superlative super-suite created to out-luxe rivals such as Emirates and Singapore Airlines during a hyper-competitive time in the air travel landscape. After all, which other commercial jets let you enjoy a private lounge room and a bedroom with a cosy double bed and your very own shower suite?<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Etihad has since cut back on its last-decade extravagances, removing not only the Resident\u2019s dedicated butler and the A380s themselves, until \u201ca surge in demand for air travel across the airline\u2019s network\u201d set the stage for the superjumbo\u2019s return. And as result, Etihad Airways\u2019 A380 superjumbo will soar once more on July 22 on the busy Abu Dhabi-London Heathrow route, specifically as flights EY11\/EY12. By early December, the A380 will feature on three of Etihad\u2019s four daily Abu Dhabi-London Heathrow flights: the ones to look for are EY11\/EY12, EY17\/EY18 and EY19\/EY20.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re travelling in first class, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to claim The Residence as an upgrade to your first class booking for what Etihad describes as \u201can optional extra for guests to further enhance their First experience\u201d to the \u201cultimate flying experience with exclusivity, privacy and comfort.\u201d An option to upgrade from Etihad\u2019s A380 first class to The Residence is now beginning to appear on the Etihad website during the \u2018seat selection\u2019 stage of the booking process.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s understood this same rate applies to either a single passenger or a two-person booking \u2013 and The Residence was intended to be comfortably shared by two \u2013 making this two-person upgrade an exceptionally appealing proposition. <br><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph
