Add BT as a preferred sourceFLYING from point A to point B by private jet? That's so last year. The latest way to jetset in style for the well-heeled traveller is on The Residence by Etihad. United Arab Emirates' national carrier, Etihad Airways, recently unveiled The Residence, the world's most luxurious living space in the air.
The Residence, onboard an A380 aircraft, comes with its own living room, a separate bedroom and en suite shower room. Guests will also have their own dedicated, Savoy Butler Academy-trained butler.
The Residence will debut in January 2015 from Abu Dhabi to London, and will subsequently expand to other routes by end-2015.
