The Mile High Club has never been more comfortable or private.

Dude I can’t even imagine flying in this residence , it’s definitely a rare experience, thanks for bringing it to us , cheers man 🍻.

They were like "why do we force people to join the mile high club in the washrooms? Let's give them a private bed"

Dayum. 4100 including the residence? I would say all in all that is a fantastic price. Ok so the flight is only 7 hours so not the longest where you actually "need" the bedroom but still with your own lavatory , bedroom and a comfy livingroom on a plane is quite insane for the price. Thanks alot for showing us everything in this flight.

Oh God, that was a fantastic trip report. You're right, 7 hours is not enough to fully appreciate the residence, which is the best 1st class in the sky to my opinion 😊

Etihad A380 the Residence is by far the most luxurious air travel out there... If I am gonna be indulging on air, this will be it...

I think Emirates First Class has got The Residence beat in elegance.

Great stuff. It just boggles my mind sometimes what people can build nowadays. It's amazing

Another great review. Loved the details of your videos. I have flown the Apartments before COVID from LHR-AUH-BOM, and this brought back good memories. But being able to try the Residence is next level! Glad you got to experience it!

Your video of the residence has the best production values and best elucidation of all aspects of the service of all the ones I have viewed.

Outstanding review! you covered all the important parts fully and clearly - look forward to the experience myself.

I’ve been through the new terminal (Terminal A, it’s called, for some reason) in December and will go back through in a few days, with business lounge access (flying Etihad business back from Bangkok to Oslo). It’s a very nice new terminal. Comfortable, bright and has everything I like about airports - high ceilings, large windows, open spaces. Not so many shops yet but they’ll come slowly in the coming months I’m sure. The residence looks wonderful. Glad to see you enjoyed it!

Wow cool vlog! That residence in the sky is absolutely amazing. It’s unbelievable that you have 3 rooms and that huge bed plus a private lounge on the ground, and for only $4,200 !!

Honestly, I think I Patrick is the most comprehensive flight reviewer on RU-vid! Every detail covered... Which is what we want to see if any of us ever want to book, or dream of booking such flights

Great video, I applaud you for taking the time to fly on all these planes and bring us great trip reports. I hope to one day go on this plane/seat and maybe a longer flight. Again great job and thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks for sharing the adventure. I liked the shots out the windows, too. I had no idea that they had planes like this.

You got this flight at a steal. Good job!

Patrick, you are killing it with your recent videos! Fantastic job!

That was incredible! I would love to get to try the residence. Thank you for sharing!!!

Patrick, thank you for taking us along on your trip. I think if I, was getting waited on like that. I wouldn’t want to get off the plane. Truly amazing experience.

Another good job Patrick! Enjoyed your review.

You didn't fasten your seatbelt while you were in bed, you fastened your BED-belt 😀 Amazing stuff as always. One can only dream about experiencing this uber-luxury. Amazing content, the secret room, the plane, the service and attention to detail, just incredible. Great job!

Cost: $4,200.....says it all

Great video as always! If this flight was on Oct 31st you were doing some serious back to back flying time to go around the world! Oct 29: SFO-MNL inaugural United flight Oct 31: MNL-KUL | KUL-AUH | AUH-LHR | LHR-SFO At least you were in the lap of luxury for most of it!

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

I already know this is a fantastic video to watch while eating. Keep up the great work, love the detail!

Cool video, thanks for sharing. You definitely got a really good deal on the price of the ticket.

Very Classy Patrick!!! Nice review!

I've watched a dozen YTubers review the Residence over the years....yours was the best review by far!

I used to fly every other year to uk from SA. My best flight was Ethihad, my last trip in 2016. Brilliant. A380. Top tourist upgraded . Real food, leather seats, metal fighting irons, so good. I told steward I was ex BA in the good old days and after pax left he gave me a guided tour of upstairs. Brill crew, a wonderful experience.

That was amazing! Great job with the video❤️✈️

about the coffee, if i understand correctly there was the liquid in the cup and at the bottom of it there was something lke mud? that's how that coffee is(you dont drink the mud haha). We have it also in Greece.

The powder is part of the Turkish coffee experience! I love that stuff, but it's brutally strong.

What an incredible experience. That makes flying fun. Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊

This is wildddd. Respect ✌️

Excellent video, and one of my favorite bucket list items: The Residence. You gained a new follower, and I love your narrating. Your voice made the video much more enjoyable.

Amazing. . unbelievable caring by staff.

The best part of this video tour is your commentary. I really enjoyed your honesty, past experiences, and open mindedness to whatever comes nest. This is the way Vlogs need to be done. One small request for future videos: Every f***g video of a take off and landing is out the window. If you have an opportunity to showcase a plane taking off/landing video via the landing gear or tail cam -- why not? Enjoyed every second of your video and thank you for the time taken to film, edit, and post for all of us to enjoy.

The Residence looks so royal!!! Thank you for the video 🙏🏽Emirates will always be my favorite airline 😃

I Love The Out Doors Camers On Airbus Wide Body AirCraft.Great Trip Report

This would come in handy for my flights from PHL to MCO.

Thank you for sharing your world travels. It most likely will be the only way I see some places. I enjoy your vids for the content as they provide tons of information.

Thank you for your sharing

Amazing!

I Am Speechless, I Am 65 And My Studio In San Diego Is Not Much Bigger. Not Complaining!! The Plane Is Beautiful And The Food As Always Looked Delicious. I Agree The Lounge Looked Like It Had Seen Better Days. Happy Travels!! ✈️ Love Your Channel.

I'd play it up when being escorted. Baseball cap, and sunglasses. The whole 9 yards. Just for the fun of it. lol

What an amazing place in the sky! I can't even imagine how freaking cool this must have been. Thanks for sharing it with us. I bet the ME emirs and such are why these airlines really go wild with these opportunities, if they aren't flying privately I guess! Pretty amazing for the $4k for this, but hey, what an experience!!!

this is wild. gorgeous.

Amazing, truly amazing! Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever be able to enjoy that service but at least, I have you to show us the way....thanks for all your hard work....it was a pleasure!

The best part of this video is when you say BA forgot to load the second meal🤣To BA it's not surprising but it's so funny with the context here

Seriously your review is so detailed and well-explained, one of the best I’ve watched. Thanks for sharing your experience! So cool ✈️ 😎 🧳

Turkish coffee is amazing and indeed has the coffee grounds IN the cup.

Fascinating.

Living a high life , Pat!🎉

I'm literally speechless ....what an incredible suite in the sky.....once again you're a lucky bloke Patrick...another hit video review...cheers

Great job as always Patrick - a window into a very rarefied world.

Nicely done video. You made me feel like I was almost there.

Wow! Great video. We recently flew from Perth to Heathrow with Qatar. It was very good, but when we arrived at Heathrow it was terrible. Transfer from T4 to T5 took an hour. Mostly because nobody knew what was going on.

Agreed...WOW...that was a lot of fun to watch and a good reminder for North American based carriers to do more to excel in service, spaces, amenities, food and beverages. Regrettably, the airlines based in the Emirates are not aligned with One World, SkyTeam or Star Alliance. Your narration is great and I appreciate you add some humour now and again...Thanks Patrick!

Thank you for another amazing video. I just love all the detail and you have a nice voice too 🙂. Looking forward to more amazing videos from you.

I wonder how good the sound proofing is in the bedroom? Not for people going to sleep. ☺ great video 2x👍

Great comprehensive review Patrick. Covered such detail. Thanks for taking us along

There can never be a dull moment when you fly this way..Dude are you lucky or are you lucky..thanks for the video😀

I’ve flown on the Emirates A380 and I thought that was the best it gets. This is another level. Need to definitely do it.

Patrick that was the experience of a lifetime. So happy for you that you got to put this feather in your cap. Thanks for taking us along.

All those villa estates right under the take-off of such large airplanes.

Now this is luxury flying

Well done video. Thank you.

Wow. That's amazing

That's like Emirates and Singapore first class had a baby lol you sure got a steal under 5k for such an amazing experience. I can definitely understand that being in the 5 digits price tag. That lounge and escort access definitely says VVIP. Thanks for sharing

Image being in the class before the resident and you wake up from a nap and you randomly hear clapping but you don’t see the flight attendants or other passengers clapping their hands and the clapping is on going

Very nice!

Fantastic review the flight. Emirates might win an award for the most beautiful plate ware - the gold rimmed tea saucers were something special. Guinness Book of World Records for being the first person to do push-ups on the Residence Lounge floor? 😀

I’m with you about the lack of California wines, but I’m actually surprised there were any at all.

I've flown in many planes from DC3, Britannia, Comet, VC10, 727, 737 most Airbuses and the Embraer and a few I've missed. (Some military). But of all the planes the A380 is the best by far. So many wanted to write it off prematurely, so I'm glad this wonderful plane is back in service.

Great Video as always, the price was much affordable than before, looking forward to see your next video departs from the new AUH terminal. Beside, how ridiculous of BA forgot to load the second meal for a long haul flight from their home base.

So good man. Appreciate the pricing.

What an experience!!! Being in New York I would love that option from JFK to Sao Paulo or JFK to Honolulu. Longer haul would make all that opulence more worth it to me. 👍👍👍

Nice. Please provide a link to where you purchased your steel suitcase I saw under the bed. Thanks.

You lucky dog. that looks amazing.

Great review. Your self effacing humour is refreshing. And I thought Singapore's suites were extravagant -- not even close to The Residence. And.... NordVPN rocks. Glad you've hooked up with them for some sponsorship.

Hey! What brand and model is your carry-on bag? Looks the part!👌😎

Great review Patrick, an amazing flight. I got the impression you had cabin fever in that first lounge it was kind of strange, I think I would have preferred a first class or business lounge where you could at least talk to people if you wanted to. The residence is amazing but so over the top. I think it's a bit of an experiment that isn't going to age well as it's too expensive especially for a mid haul flight. But you never know it is still cheaper than a private jet but offers the same sort of service.

I know the residence used to come with your own private Butler at the airport and on the plane itself and your own private chef. I'm guessing post covid they must have got rid of those things but it is still a very awesome product

Patrick, you're an outstanding creator and narrator, very impressed with your detailed descriptive free-flowing video! Is this what your degree is in? I look forward to future videos!

Fantastic find for the cost. Hopefully if the Emirates A380 refit goes thru, more will be similar, or maybe better. I've booked 1st class back in 1984 on United believe it or not for around $10k, where we did have beluga, and carved roast, but no where near the space (being 747).

I see so much cheap labor being abused by these gulf countries. The clock is ticking till the oil runs out

lol. I believe Turkish coffee is unfiltered so the "powder" was coffee grinds. Definitely part of the experience. A friend of mine from middle east when I asked about filters, he said "that's what teeth are for."

I was really surprised that it cost only $4,200, which was such a great deal. Was thinking it might cost at least over $10K! Thanks so much for sharing the experience, all the lounge and inflight details and mosty importantly the cost. Fantastic video and Great Job 🙏

Living vicariously through your great video! Plus, thanks for repping the 49er's. We won today!

I came home from my Christmas vacation in First Class. But this flight you had makes my experience look like coach in comparison due to everything you got. Though I still thought it was the best flight I ever took.

I like how some airlines exude culture, food and service eminating from where they are based. For example, when I was on a Board of an American non-profit I almost always flew Delta and Iiked the accents of the FA's and the southern hospitality (they also had a very reasonable FFY fare that would land you in the front cabin). United Airlines (polaris service) is based in Chicago and I find that city hospitable as well...tho' brasher. I fly Air Canada alot and flight crews based in the Montreal and Vancouver hubs often are more fun and appear to be having a good time...Montreal is its headquarters and as a Western Canadian i enjoy the je sais quoi quality and servicer (it's fun for me to speak french with the Montreal staff) particularly in the front cabin (their Montreal-based Sommelier Veronique is pretty good). The airlines based in the UAE are way over the top in luxury which kinda is the brand of their cities. And then we have Singapore Airlines, great airline, distinctive FA colourful and /or tight uniforms...thanks for the advice on Viet Nam I will be applying for the e-visa well in advance and will travel there from Singapore on their SA airline and even have one leg to get back from Danang to Singapore with Viet Nam Airlines...so intrigued with the culture I'll find with them...thanks Patrick!

Half powder is part of the experience of Turkish coffee 😅

Hi Patrick. Thanks a lot for sharing this fantastic trip with us. I have one question: for this 3-room first class apartment, can I fly with two persons by paying the extra fees for one more person? Or I can only fly by myself? Thanks.

What a steal

I wouldn't sleep either gotta enjoy every minute on that plane!!!

Wow in 10-20 years the experience will be even better , so that even the longest flying time around the globe won‘t be enough to enjoy …

I will soon have the opportunity to fly business class on Emirates. Can't wait.

Thank you for letting us experience this. What an eye opening experience. I think comforts like this make travel fun. Is the price per person or for the suite?. It seems to fit two people.
