Etihad Airways flight EY1 from Abu Dhabi to New York arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday, April 22, heralding the start of the airline’s A380 double-decker service featuring The Residence, the legendary, sumptuous three-room suite in the sky.

After a celebratory send-off in Abu Dhabi, Etihad pilots waved the US and UAE flags from the cockpit after the super-jumbo arrived on its stand in New York.

At the pinnacle of luxury in the A380 is The Residence. Accommodating up to two guests, The Residence provides guests with unparalleled luxury and service, with a private living room, bedroom, and ensuite bathroom, complete with a shower at 40,000 feet.
