Have you ever wondered what it’s like to sit in the most expensive seat on one of the fanciest airlines? While those incredibly pricey tickets might be out of reach for most of us, we can still get a taste of the experience through YouTube videos.
American YouTuber Ryan Trahan recently uploaded a video documenting his journey on an Etihad flight to deliver a letter and a box of cereal to his brother in Singapore. Little did he know that this adventure would give him the chance to try out seats in each class of the airline and discover mind-blowing perks along the way.
Starting his journey from JFK, Ryan traveled 13 hours in Basic class to Abu Dhabi, the lowest class on an Etihad flight. He was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meal, the incredible service, and even had a nice chat with the flight attendants on board.
Continuing his journey from Abu Dhabi to Singapore, Ryan upgraded to Basic+ class, the next level up on the world’s most expensive airline. With a tape measure in hand, he measured 23 inches of legroom and enjoyed a “nice” meal. To top it off, he was given the opportunity to visit the cockpit and have a chat with the captain.
After successfully delivering the letter and cereal to his brother, it was time for Ryan to head back home. This time, he chose Business class, which came with a whole set of perks including pillows, slippers, a blanket, and fancy toiletries. He described the seat as the most comfortable he had ever experienced.
But the real treat awaited Ryan when he reached Abu Dhabi for his return journey to JFK. As a passenger in the highest class, Residence, he was escorted from the plane by security guards to a private lounge at the airport. There, a man served him coffee, pastries, and fruit, catering to his every need.
Stepping onto the plane, Ryan settled into his Residence seat, which felt like a luxurious New York apartment. The seat came with a private living room, complete with a TV, a fridge, and comfortable sofa-like seats. There was also a private bathroom with a shower, a bedroom with a large bed, and a personal flight attendant to attend to his every need. He enjoyed a delicious steak dinner, as well as a variety of sweets and snacks on demand.
“It’s hard to put into words how incredible this experience has been,” Ryan expressed, fully aware that returning to economy class would be a challenge after such luxury.
If you’ve ever wondered about the perks of flying in the most expensive seat on an extravagant airline, Ryan Trahan’s video will give you a glimpse of the extraordinary journey. While it may not be within reach for most of us, it’s fun to imagine the possibilities that lie beyond the curtains of economy class.
