22hrs in the World's BEST FIRST CLASS (Singapore Suites to NYC)
Watch this video to see what it’s like to fly on the world’s BEST FIRST CLASS! This is Singapore Suites First Class!
Forgive the adjective overload here, but it’s not hyperbole. I promise!
Singapore Suites is the best FIRST CLASS in the world. In fact, a lot of people say it's beyond first class, so welcome to Singapore Suites First Class on the Singapore Airlines A380!
We’re about to spend 22 hours experiencing the ultimate luxury in the sky as we travel from Singapore all the way to New York City via Frankfurt on a Singapore Airlines A380, and you’re along for the trip of a lifetime onboard SQ26 operated by a Singapore Airlines A380.
In this video, we’ll showcase Singapore Suites First Class and all you can experience on the longest flight they currently offer with this service. At a whopping 22 hours, this is one of the most extreme experiences you could expect to have in First Class (PLUS) anywhere!
Unfortunately, the flight will soon be onboard a Singapore Airlines 777-300 with Singapore First Class.
You’ll see the unbelievable SECRET lounge within a lounge reserved for Singapore Airlines’ most exclusive passengers. We’ll also show you the unspeakably incredible suites we combined into a massive room, complete with a double bed!
You’ll also experience some decadent food onboard as we experience something like SIX First Class meals over this trip!
Naturally, you’ll see the First Class Singapore Suites inflight entertainment, too.
In short, this was the most incredible aviation experience we’ve ever had. Can you guess the JebScore? Stick around to the end to find out if you’re right about this First Class Singapore Suites experience!

Today I’m flying the world’s best First Class, Etihad The Residence. In fact it’s a class beyond First Class, and consists of a three room suite on the Airbus A380. I’m on the very first flight back on The Residence after a three year break, and given the previous cost of over $20,000 I’m keen to find out what’s changed now this is being offered as a paid upgrade from their First Class Apartments. As always I’ll give you a full walkthrough of the entire experience, from the private lounge offered at London Heathrow, to the upstairs of the A380, the dining & of course what it’s like in my own private ensuite bedroom! As usual I paid full price myself, full costings shown in the video.

8hrs in World’s Most Luxurious First Class Flight - Emirates Gamechanger
Go to to get the two year plan with an exclusive deal PLUS one month free. It’s risk free with NordVPN’s 30 day money back guarantee.
Today i'm flying on Emirates new First Class, aka the Gamechanger onboard their Boeing 777-300ER. Having reviewed a wide variety of the world's best First Class products I believe this to be the very best First Class in commercial aviation. Featuring the only fully private rooms, with floor to ceiling doors, a seat designed using NASA tech and an interior inspired by the Mercedes S Class. This is really the pinnacle of flying up front. I'll be comparing this to the other key competitors in this segment, Air France La Premiere and Singapore First Class suites on the Airbus A380. Remember this is a different First Class to the popular A380 First Class suites, which I've reviewed here on the channel previously. This is only found on a handful of Emirates' fleet, and only one select routes such as Brussels, London, Frankfurt and Zurich.

Most Luxurious Flight - The Residence by Etihad A380 Abu Dhabi to Paris
Join me onboard Etihad Airways A380 flight in The Residence from Abu Dhabi to Paris. Sample the most luxurious way to travel in the commercial aviation.
I was so impressed and blown away by my first Residence flight last December so I decided to do a much longer flight to Paris, with my favorite butler Leanne and other cabin crew.
Watch the video to experience the most exclusive and luxurious commercial flight in the world.
Thanks to Etihad Airways for filming my journey in The Residence. My flight and opinion is NOT sponsored by Etihad. (Etihad videographer just filmed my flight)
Blog review and more pictures can be found in the link below:
In case you missed my first Residence flight, you can view it here:
-------
Join us for the most incredible, first class in-flight experience you will likely ever see, taken in absolute and astounding luxury from start to finish aboard the inaugural Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi to Paris on board the A380 super jumbo jet in Etihad's The Residence suite.
The heavenly aviation luxury starts even before arrival at the airport, with Etihad’s tailored and exquisite VIP travel concierge and chauffer service to the airport in a sleek and professional looking saloon Audi.
When we arrive, the red carpet is well and truly rolled out for us as we are greeted by our very own, personal assistant at an exclusive and private entrance to Abu Dhabi airport and taken to the first class lounge and spa to await our flight – this is the Etihad airways residence on the ground. We don’t have to do a thing as a whole group of attendants fuss around us in the background, even collecting our luggage and bringing it in for us.
As we enter the Etihad airways first class lounge, we are greeted by our very own personal and professional butler (trained at the Savoy hotel, London) to facilitate our every need within the sumptuous and spacious home-from-home lounge area. Our butler outlines the fabulous food and drink available, including great and imaginative mocktails with aviation inspired names. Within the first class spa, we enjoy a professional French style shave (our destination was Paris after all!) before dining on artistic and extremely well presented food prepared by our own personal chef including one very tasty lobster!
To top it all off, and to round off the meal and relax us before departure, we enjoy a specially selected and curated cigar in our own dedicated and furnished smoking room, prepared and lit for us by our butler.
Already, we have been treated like royalty but this is only the beginning – now it’s time for the flight! After boarding the A380 and being warmly greeted by all the staff, we enjoy a tour of the whole aeroplane, taking in and briefly examining the Etihad economy and business class studio sections, as well as seeing the dedicated bar and food preparation areas. The abundant space of the Airbus A380 aeroplane affords even a very pleasant and enjoyable experience in economy class.
Once we’ve spoken with the Etihad airways pilots and seen the cockpit of the A380, it is finally time to be taken to our private, three room suite in the sky, the Etihad residence. It is an astonishing, self-contained unit with large sliding doors and split in to a luxurious lounge/living room area, private bathroom and bedroom.
The living room is complete with a full set of touch screen controls, mini bar and 32 inch television and it made for an extremely comfortable and pleasant environment to relax and also interact with the cabin crew.
We are able to get a great night’s sleep in our very own double bed, covered in specially made, luxurious Italian linen and the breakfast in bed, prepared by our very own in-flight personal chef and served by our personal butler, makes for a very pleasing start to the day before we take the opportunity to freshen up in our full size shower and slip in to a super soft, personally initialled bath robe!
Nothing is left to chance and everything you could think or dream of is taken care of – there’s even a professional shoe shining service available - the whole experience makes the journey an absolute joy and allows you to arrive at your destination fully refreshed and completely ready to conduct your business.
The Etihad residence is the only three room suite on board a commercial airline and can comfortably cater for an individual or a couple. It is a wonder to behold and we really hope you enjoyed this magnificent experience with us – let us know in the comments what you thought and how you might choose to spend your time in Etihad’s residence!
The $20,000 Residence on Etihad A380
There's nothing like The Residence in commercial air travel.
The Residence is above First Class; with a living room, separate bedroom and en-suite shower room, it is the only three-room suite on a commercial airline in the world. It is indeed the World's Premiere Flying Experience.
I hadn't flown The Residence in 2 years and I was very keen to re-live this fantastic experience, so I decided to dress up for the occasion. This flight was Etihad's inaugural A380 service from Abu Dhabi to Seoul Incheon.
On the return flight from Incheon to Abu Dhabi (next episode), I will be back in Economy to see the differences in travel experience on the same plane.
-------
Join me for my third, spectacular experience in Etihad Airway’s The Residence! The Residence is completely out of this world within the field of luxury, commercial passenger aviation, far surpassing any first class service that you might care to mention. It is unique in so many ways from providing the only, true double bed in a public, commercial aviation setting within your cabin to the provision of your own personal butler whilst in The Residence lounge and also whilst up in the air, trained in the prestigious Savoy Hotel in London.
I take the inaugural flight from Abu Dhabi international airport to Incheon Airport in Seoul, South Korea at the invitation of Etihad Airways, celebrating the launch of this new route in The Residence. I will be making the return journey in economy class in my next video guys, so watch out for that one!
If you’d like to see my first and second Residence experiences, you can see these in my videos here:
The Residence flying experience provides a home from home on the ground and then in the sky where any need or desire you could think of is expertly and carefully taken of. The Residence experience starts with being chauffeur driven in a luxury car (typically Audi, BMW or Mercedes) to the first class, VIP terminal of the airport where you are met by your personal luggage carrier, butler and chef.
Whilst waiting for your flight, you are housed in your own little palace with access to a spa (I opt to have an extremely relaxing and very nice and pleasant foot massage) and even a smoking room, lavishly decorated and stocked with the finest cigars, including Cuban, from around the world. Your own personal chef is on hand to deliver a Michelin Star level of dining experience, with each dish being hand crafted to your requirements and set in front of you with an explanation of each of the components of the dish before you begin eating. There are a wide variety of premium wines, spirits, beers and champagne to choose from.
Within your Residence lounge, there is a large, wall-mounted television and library. The Residence on the ground experience is absolutely sublime and a true masterpiece of comfort and service for the passenger.
At the gate to the aeroplane, I am met by the person who is to be my butler in the air. He introduces himself and up in the air, it’s clear that he cares – that’s what’s so great about Etihad Airway’s The Residence – the personal touch. They have researched my background before the day and present me with a number of aviation magazines to read and enjoy on the flight, as well as a framed photo of myself and a certificate to commemorate my travelling on this inaugural flight with Etihad in The Residence.
I am extremely impressed with the food I receive on the flight, with a delicious steak and chips being put before me as the main course and delicious little Asian sandwiches with succulent meat as a starter. I am also treated to Bellini Cipriani wine and a wonderful post-dinner digestif of Cellar 28 Remy Martin – greater opulence you couldn’t imagine, honestly!
After dinner, I can sprawl out on my double bed and watch TV in private, after taking a very relaxing and refreshing shower in my private bathroom on board. After sleeping, I rub my eyes to see my personal butler bringing a luxurious and mouth-watering breakfast of waffles and raspberries, served with champagne to get me in the mood to face a new day before we land.
Overall, I am once again bowled over by Etihad’s provision for me within The Residence class on board and I hold Etihad Airway’s The Residence in the highest regard. Would did you think of the whole fantastic experience? Let me know in the comments – as always, I am very pleased to share these gems of an aviation experience with you, my audience, and I thank you for watching.

Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here:
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment.
We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)
So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world.
Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going.
4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time!
After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)
We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. ???????????? Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

Today I'm flying across the world on Emirates First Class for 24 hours. I'll be trying out Emirates A380 First Class Suites which include an onboard lounge, shower and luxury private suite. Connecting in Dubai i'll get onboard our next flight, for 3,000 miles all the way to Belgium. This flight will be on Emirates Boeing 777 Gamechanger, regarded by many as the world's best First Class. It's the only First Class which provides floor to ceiling privacy.
As always I'll walk you through the entire experience from the food, to the pyjamas! Plus i'll explain how I booked this for a fraction of the retail cost.

The World's Top 3 First Class Flights
Here are my top 3 first class flights. Preference will of course vary but consistently I’ve found these to be the best in the sky. Number 3 - Emirates A380 First Class, jaw dropping photogenic suite's and the chance to take a shower onboard an aircraft. Negative here is the density with 14 pax, among the highest.
Number 2 - Singapore Airlines A380 First Class suites. With only 6 suites onboard on the upper deck of the aircraft, enjoy an entire room to yourself. Separate arm chair and bed to make yourself comfortable and what’s more if you book two suites in row 1 & 2 you can convert this into a double bed! The design of the cabin is not great in practice though, the arm chair is awkwardly positioned and you have to face a wall upon take off in row one ????
Number 1 - Emirates Gamechanger First Class. Having reviewed almost every first class flying, I crown this as my number one. Most private and over the top way to fly commercially. Just 6 suites are in the cabin of a select few Boeing 777s. There's no bad seat as the middle has virtual windows and is actually a little larger. You get an inseat mini bar, outstanding Emirates service though I will say food is not quite on par with SQ. Overall it’s a very special place to be!
Not featured on this list is Etihad’s A380 apartment or Residence. Currently these are grounded and I'm unsure if they’re set to fly again. Others have voted La Premiere number 1 but I find the seats a tad dated without that wow factor of the aforementioned. AF do have the best ground service though in the world.
What do you think?
What Singapore Airlines’ First, Business, And Economy Classes Are Like | Insider Business
I flew 40 hours from NYC to Singapore and back to see which cabin on Singapore Airlines was best. The first-class suite alone is one of the most expensive plane tickets in the world and can cost $23,000 round-trip. I even met YouTuber MrBeast on that flight. After reviewing the food, service, and seats, I had one favorite that might surprise you. Insider paid a media rate for these flights.
