"The Residence" is the featured attraction on Etihad's new upper-deck cabin on its Airbus A380 aircraft. It includes a living room, separate double bedroom and en-suite shower. Passengers have access to a butler, for those times when a flight attendant simply won't do.
New standard for inflight luxury —

The Residence was designed for long-haul flights. Once reserved for private jets, the VIP suite has its own double bed, lounge and shower.

On the Airbus A380, first- and business-class fliers can chat with their moneyed counterparts in The Lobby, a serviced lounge located between the first and business cabins.

On its upgraded Boeing 787s, Etihad Airways will offer eight enhanced First Suites, with minibars and 26-inch-wide seats that convert to flat beds. Though few would scoff at one of these seats, private inflight suites aren't a new concept. Airlines such as rival Emirates offer similar first-class amenities.

The new Business Studio will be available on both the A380 and the B787. The A380 will have 70 of these seats, while Boeing 787 flights will offer 28.
