See the Etihad's £14,000 penthouse in the sky

 
The Residence penthouse of  Etihad airways that costs a whooping £14,000 for a one-way flight for one or two people has been dubbed the world’s most exclusive – and expensive – airline seat. The Residence, a private three-room cabin boasts a living room, bedroom, ensuite shower room, a Savoy-trained butler, private first-class compartments with a reclining lounge seat and full-length bed, chilled mini-bar, personal vanity and wardrobe.. A Miami-based businessman and aviation enthusiast Gino Bertuccio today became the first person to fly in a private three-room cabin of "The Residence."

The much anticipated Etihad Airways’ Airbus A380 super-jumbo jet made its inaugural commercial flight from London Heathrow Airport to Abu Dhabi today, Saturday, Dec. 27th. (see more photos after the cut)...


Mr. Bertuccio runs Ligi Import Corp, an Italian cosmetic retailer, and an avid collector of airline memorabilia with nearly 2,000 model aircraft and albums filled with boarding passes and photos from past flights. He has also travelled on 22 inaugural and final flights in premium class cabins in the last 25 years.
