Will be flying Etihad Business Class from MEL to CDG later this year. Last time my wife and I did (4 years ago), we were able up upgrade to First for not much more cash. Hopefully we can again, because this version of First is far better than the previous. Great video. Thanks.
+HyperaktivníSuperIQCZECHREPUBLICmanvofullHD He In my opinion, Etihad has the best First Class suite, Emirates has the best shower room, and Qatar has the best onboard lounge on the A380.
Thanks- I appreciate that. Most people like the music, but there are always a few that don't. Can't please everyone, but maybe I'll try something different for the next one.
I really like how you interact with your viewers! You have a new sub. This looks super fancy. However, I was expecting something else from this video because I read somewhere that Etihad released a completely private section for passengers with a butler etc. Let me see if I can get details on that. Nevertheless, great video and I hope I can get there one day!
Thanks. You are referring to The Residence, which is in the very front of the same plane. There's only one of those, and it contains a living room, bedroom, and bathroom with shower.
Thanks- and yes, there is The Residence on Etihad which can fit up to 2 people and contains a living room, bedroom with double bed, and its own bathroom with shower.
Great video!!, I (well wife and me) flow this route 3 weeks ago, may I ask you why you didn't use the First Class Lounge located after immigration? lat the beginning of Terminal 3. The only bad about this red eye is the Dining menu is a reduced version of the daylight flight, but starting June this year both flights will be operated by a A380 ;-)
That first class lounge is new, and when I made this video, the opening was delayed so it wasn't open yet. And yes, I would rather have the First Apartment and a reduced menu, rather than fly the 777 with the older style suites, In actuality however, on my flight the menu wasn't that reduced, and they were still offering two complimentary treatments at the lounge (now it's one). The budget cuts have kicked in. Thanks for your comment.
LOL- I've never heard the term "Jetihad". I am familiar w/ EY 100/101, but for some reason when I searched JFK flights the other day, it wasn't showing up in the listings so I thought they moved to one flight a day for now, but that turns out to not be the case. I've almost flown the "Jetihad" flight a few times when heading from Asia to the UAE.
very good video even if i would prefer the feel the real "life" of the plane and apt through their proper sound and noise ..I truly like Etihad product..
Thanks for your comment. Next time, I will try to dial down the music so that you can hear more of the plane, or maybe I'll try without music, but if I do that, I'll get comments that there should be music. Can't please everyone : (
Track 1: Fearless by Reaktor Productions, Track 2: Green Fever by Flash Fluharty, Track 3: Golden Skies by Liam Aiden. I have licensed all music for use in my video.
music a little too intense for the subject matter... maybe something calmer next time haha. this track is better suited to some sort of gopro adventure!
This was the Premium Lounge w/ separate First Class seating. The dedicated First lounge officially opened on May 30th, 2016, so it wasn't ready yet when I recorded the video footage. It was supposed to open a while back, but Etihad kept delaying.
I've heard it's pretty nice, although my favorite is the Qatar Airways Al Safwa First Class lounge. There's nothing like it in the world. Even Etihad doesn't have the space right now to match what they've done. I'll be putting up a video of it in the near future. Enjoy, and let me know how you like the Etihad first lounge.
Thanks for the tip. Most of the viewers seem to like the music, so I'll have to stick w/ the majority. I'll dial it down further next time though so that more of the background sound comes through.
+cincpac1c Was supposed to be this month, but they've been delaying. That's okay- I got to visit Qatar Airways' Al Safwa First Class lounge recently, which is my absolute favorite. I'll catch the EY First lounge on my next go-around- cheers.
Yes, they make the bed for you, and they also put everything away if you want them to. Sometimes I leave the bed down so that I can take another nap later in the flight or just relax with a movie and the covers on. If I'm in business class and it's empty, I'll use the bed at another seat and keep mine as a dining area/ work station.
Someone should really buy an A380 and make it into a luxury private jet. Oh yes, and the budget to customise the interior should be around one billion dollars.

First Class on their other aircraft is the first suite and is different from the First Apartment on the A380. What you're thinking of is The Residence with the separate bedroom.
Pretty sure this is one of the nicest first class videos i have seen for an a380!
Thank you : )
This is a big dream of mine, I'm confident I'll be there one day too! Thanks for the video :)
I have found that the only way to dream is to dream BIG. Glad you enjoyed the video : )
Juliet Cleary same man apreciate you thnx for the video

Great video. Thanks.
Yes, the A380 version is far better. I hope the upgrade works out for you. I'll be flying them again soon.
I would put this on my bucket list if i ever won the lottery. The video and music along with written description made it a great video. Thanks
Appreciate your comments! Time to start picking those lotto numbers : )
Thank you for sharing your trip. Such a beautiful aircraft, I enjoyed this very much.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video. There's more to come...
Really enjoyed your video. Good tunes too. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for viewing and for your comment.
Love the tail camera views and your presentation of this flight. Bravo!
Thank you!
i love it man!!really nice video
Much appreciated!!
I think that Etihad has the best first class :). Like , Greetings from Czech Republic.
+HyperaktivníSuperIQCZECHREPUBLICmanvofullHD He In my opinion, Etihad has the best First Class suite, Emirates has the best shower room, and Qatar has the best onboard lounge on the A380.
Wow this set a new live goal for me.. once flying Etihad first class!
I hope you reach your goal!
This airplane suite is nicer than any hotel I've been in and this suite is TINY! Wowzers
Wowzers!
Currently imagining myself on that flight lol! It looks so beautiful, and you're so lucky to have experienced it!
Thank you! Don't imagine- make it happen : )
awesome video mate...would be better if we could here some background sound rather than music.
just a suggestion mate
nice work.:)
+Rock WoLf Thanks. I dialed down the DB on the music a bit, but I guess it wasn't enough. Will keep it in mind for the next video- cheers.
V. v. good video. It uses us to understand the quality of some brands.
Thanks!
Jet Set Oligarch
Except for the music, it was a good video and thanks for showing your food/beverage service.
No prob.
Simply perfect. Hope to see some more videos soon !!
Thanks! I'm about 5 videos behind since I'm actively traveling and working on other projects, but yes, the next one is coming...
great video !! :)
+Claudia Mihalcea Thanks :-)
Thats.. Amazing I have been Madrid-Los Angeles in business class but never on first
Congratulations thats amazing!
On what airline, and how was it?
Iberia,in an airbus a340 in september 2014 it was amazing.
nice video with nice music...thanks for uploading...
Thanks for your comment.
Top of the line, amazing. More than five star, wow!!!
Thank you very much!!!
Good job! I like it (incl. the music ;) )
Thanks- I appreciate that. Most people like the music, but there are always a few that don't. Can't please everyone, but maybe I'll try something different for the next one.

+Jet Set Oligarch Yes! I noticed shortly after writing my first comment. It's relatively underwhelming in my opinion.
What was the music in the beginning great video BTW two thumbs up from me :)
Thanks. See comment below for audio track titles...
great video ! thanks for sharing. Etihad apartment is really a dream product, hope I make it one day :)
Thanks for watching! I have no doubt that you will make it : )
wow it amazing video man. I just love it.
Thank you!
Super! merci pour cette belle présentation.
Merci beaucoup : )
you have a perfect vedio shooting skills...
Thanks.
First class etihad
+Beneluxflights Absolutely!!! I'm about 10 videos behind on my trip reports, but I'll get there.
Great man will watch every update ;)
Amazing video!
Thanks!
wow, your video is amazing! I wonder if there any bigger first class apartments for families or people travelling in groups
Thanks- and yes, there is The Residence on Etihad which can fit up to 2 people and contains a living room, bedroom with double bed, and its own bathroom with shower.
Wow Etihad Airways are so rich Apple Computer,Bar,Foods I love this Airways
Me too!

AAA THATS TRAVELLING GOOD VIDEO
+Atsilk m3 Thanks!
All that great and different option, but then you eat even more and better food on the plan. Crazy. Looks great.
Yes, I definitely eat (and drink) more when I travel : )
Super video!
Thank you!!!
nice video you have surely had great fun . can you keep all the things they give you on the plane
You get to keep the amenities and pajamas.
great video, hopefully one day
Thanks, and yes... one day for sure.
One of the best videos! I guess you guys love Hermes too. :-)
For sure : )
I believe this is EY's only flight to JFK. They claim to have 2 daily but one is a code share on Jet Airways (9W 6403/6404).
As of right now, I believe only EY 103 is operating to JFK from Abu Dhabi.
+Jet Set Oligarch EY 100/101 is the code share on Jet Airways. Apparently the service isn't as good and some have called this flight "Jetihad."
LOL- I've never heard the term "Jetihad". I am familiar w/ EY 100/101, but for some reason when I searched JFK flights the other day, it wasn't showing up in the listings so I thought they moved to one flight a day for now, but that turns out to not be the case. I've almost flown the "Jetihad" flight a few times when heading from Asia to the UAE.
From June 1, 2017 they are going to fly A380 on both flights to JFK :)
Thanks for the update : )
I have no idea that there was an apartment , thank you for sharing this footage
Thanks for watching- hope you enjoyed it.
This is really a five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ seet
Yes it is. Thanks for your comment.
The music at the start was a bit intense 😂️😂️ still a great video
Thanks
It's awesome man...U are so lucky
Thanks!
Very good video) Thanks!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching!

you right..the quality is perfect and u can't pls everyone . i't's me that i'm an aircraft "noise" addicted :-)
Great report! Hope one day I'll be on their 1st class >
+One World Flyer Thanks- I have no doubt that you'll make it there!
love the music!
Thanks!
what is the name of the music (the first one ).pls reply . need for presentation. an amazing video, have to appreciate
Scroll down to the bottom of the description and you will see all licensed music titles.
Hey, do you get to keep any of the stuff they give you, like the blanket, towels, and/or pajamas?
You get to keep the pajamas and amenities.
Where's all music's name? there must be music name on your description cause all music has permissions.
I have paid licenses for all the audio tracks, so I do not need to place it in the description. See previous comments for the track names.
baller AF
Incredible!!!
Thanks!
Hi, did you get to keep the blanket/throw?
Unfortunately not, but it was very comfortable ; )
26 grand and you still get HP sauce (2.00), glad to see that money hasn't ruined good taste completely!
No it hasn't ; )
I'm a 12 year old boy and I wish these types of planes stay until future
These may still be around, but in the future there will be new and better planes for you to fly on!
what is the music on the video? I've heard in somewhere else before and can't quite place it....
Track 1: Fearless by Reaktor Productions, Track 2: Green Fever by Flash Fluharty, Track 3: Golden Skies by Liam Aiden. I have licensed all music for use in my video.
Great Video ;)
Thanks : )
Is there like a residence type of seating section in Emirates?
As of right now, there is no residence section on Emirates.
music a little too intense for the subject matter... maybe something calmer next time haha. this track is better suited to some sort of gopro adventure!
I guess you missed the part where I jumped out of the 380 w/ a parachute ; )
ahah would have paid to see that! great trip report though, really enjoyed it.
LOL- thanks.
but which editor do you used for making this vedio?
I used Final Cut Pro.
Great video, what is the music track from 10:29 to 15:59
Thanks. The track you are asking about is called Golden Skies by Liam Aidan. I have licensed all audio tracks used in the video.
if you want to change your video concept like vloging maybe its more better :) nice.
I have a vlog site as well, but haven't been able to devote a lot of time to it. Thanks for your comment.
+Jet Set Oligarch look nice :)
Hey man great video. What was the price for this flight
Thanks- at the time of the video RT from JFK-AUH was running about $26,000 USD.
wow cool vide! how much was your ticket? I'm assuming well over $10,000
Round trip New York to Abu Dhabi is currently running just under $26,000.
Nice kicks! :)
Thanks!
What is the flight time from Abu Dhabi to New York?
It's around 14 hours.
Wow what a beauty...
Thank you!
Amazing!
Thanks!
What was the music used throughout the video?
I'm actually on a trip right now and don't have the music on my laptop, but I remember the first track is called "Fearless".
That's the business class lounge right? Why didn't you use the first class lounge straight after security?
This was the Premium Lounge w/ separate First Class seating. The dedicated First lounge officially opened on May 30th, 2016, so it wasn't ready yet when I recorded the video footage. It was supposed to open a while back, but Etihad kept delaying.
+Jet Set Oligarch thanks. Ill see how it is on Friday. Looking forward to seeing it
I've heard it's pretty nice, although my favorite is the Qatar Airways Al Safwa First Class lounge. There's nothing like it in the world. Even Etihad doesn't have the space right now to match what they've done. I'll be putting up a video of it in the near future. Enjoy, and let me know how you like the Etihad first lounge.
How do you usually get access to these cabins? Through miles, or is there some other secret to flying like a king? ;)
I use miles sometimes, but I also pay for a lot of my tickets. I'm pretty good at luxury travel hacking so I know how to get the best for less : )
You could do without the music~~
Thanks for the tip. Most of the viewers seem to like the music, so I'll have to stick w/ the majority. I'll dial it down further next time though so that more of the background sound comes through.
Try classic songs. It will be amazing!
I dont mind the music
I'll look into it.
Thanks. Most people like the music. Can't please everyone, but maybe I'll try something different for the next one.
Thanks for the video. EY is supposed to open a proper F lounge in AUH, who knows when that will be?
+cincpac1c Was supposed to be this month, but they've been delaying. That's okay- I got to visit Qatar Airways' Al Safwa First Class lounge recently, which is my absolute favorite. I'll catch the EY First lounge on my next go-around- cheers.
From massage, to a happy ending flight.
;-)
Melhor empresa
Muito bom.
Thank you : )
He flys with Etihad and has a Emirates card on his bag : Thmub up for that ( 5:10 )
You have a keen eye. The other one is a Qatar Airways First Class tag ; )
+Jet Set Oligarch Thx but your report is great
Amazing
+Pgm Star Thank you : )
you're welcome
I've been of etihad first class!!!!¡!!!
Do they remove the bed and sheets after you've finished sleeping?
Yes, they make the bed for you, and they also put everything away if you want them to. Sometimes I leave the bed down so that I can take another nap later in the flight or just relax with a movie and the covers on. If I'm in business class and it's empty, I'll use the bed at another seat and keep mine as a dining area/ work station.
oh ok thanks for letting me know! Nice video
One day. Maybe I'll make it to business if I'm lucky. Economic class food is dirt
Yes, economy class food can be pretty bad. I have no doubt you'll make it to business class one day.
was there any jet lag on board ?
No. This flight departs at like 3am so I was quite tired.
Good shit!
Thanks!
What's the music used?
See previous comments where I list the audio tracks. I know the first one is called "Fearless".
Are you from the UAE?
No, I live primarily in the US, but travel a lot to Asia, the Middle East, and sometimes Europe.
When can I move in?
Whenever you're ready to buy the ticket : )
Bro how much cost of tickets of Etihad first class
First class from New York to Abu Dhabi round trip currently runs about US$ 27k.
nice
Thanks : )
Someone should really buy an A380 and make it into a luxury private jet. Oh yes, and the budget to customise the interior should be around one billion dollars.

Lol- thanks!
Are you from New York
No
Who else is here to see all of the things you can't afford?
You gotta think positive and make it happen. It was just a dream for me at one point.
Is this class what Etihad calls "The Residence?".
No, this is the First Apartment. There is only one "Residence" aboard, which contains a living room, bedroom, and it's own bathroom.
beautiful music

Round trip from JFK-AUH is currently running just under $26,000 USD.
+Jet Set Oligarch Pretty expensive!

I don't know that I would feel comfortable flying to new york from a middle eastern country...
Don't let them effect your life
Isn't this just First Class? I thought The Apartment has a separate bedroom
First Class on their other aircraft is the first suite and is different from the First Apartment on the A380. What you're thinking of is The Residence with the separate bedroom.
oooo😍😍
:-)
