Flying long-haul can be exhausting — especially for seniors who value comfort, rest, and peace of mind. That’s where Etihad Airways’ First Class Apartment comes in. Imagine a private suite with a reclining armchair, a separate bed, sliding doors for privacy, and fine dining whenever you want it.
But how much does this level of luxury cost? Let’s break it down. On average, Etihad’s First Class Apartment costs $8,000–$22,000 round-trip, depending on your route, season, and booking time. For live pricing details, call (877)764-3622 today.
Etihad’s Apartments are available only on the Airbus A380, which serves select routes. Here are sample round-trip prices:
US to Abu Dhabi (New York–Abu Dhabi): $12,000–$20,000
US to India (via Abu Dhabi): $13,000–$22,000
Europe to Abu Dhabi: $8,000–$14,000
➡️ Prices are typically highest around holidays and summer. Booking 3–6 months in advance often secures better fares.
When you book the Apartment, you’re not just buying a ticket — you’re booking a five-star hotel room in the sky.
Reclining leather armchair and a separate bed.
Personal vanity, wardrobe, and sliding doors for privacy.
Wide entertainment screen and noise-cancelling headphones.
Multi-course meals prepared by onboard chefs.
Champagne, fine wines, and premium teas and coffees.
Dine-anytime service — eat when you want.
Chauffeur service in select cities.
Access to Etihad’s premium lounges before departure.
Personalized cabin crew assigned to your suite.
➡️ For older travelers, these benefits mean less strain, more rest, and a smoother journey from door to door.
Several things determine how much you’ll pay for the Apartment:
Booking time: Fares drop when booked months ahead.
Seasonality: Holidays and summer travel mean higher costs.
Aircraft type: Only available on the A380, making supply limited.
Miles & upgrades: Etihad Guest miles or partner points can reduce the price.
Example: Some seniors have redeemed Etihad miles to cut a $15,000 Apartment ticket in half, paying closer to $7,000 with a mix of miles and cash.
For many seniors, the Apartment isn’t just about luxury — it’s about well-being and peace of mind.
Wellness: Lie-flat beds reduce joint stiffness and swelling.
Rest: Privacy allows uninterrupted sleep on long-haul flights.
Stress-free: Chauffeur service, lounge access, and priority boarding simplify the airport process.
➡️ Real-world story: A senior couple flying to celebrate their 40th anniversary said the Apartment felt like “a flying hotel room” and allowed them to arrive refreshed, not exhausted.
Etihad Apartment: $12,000–$20,000; includes both a bed and an armchair.
Emirates First Class Suite: Similar pricing; features shower spa and onboard bar.
Singapore Airlines Suites: $10,000–$18,000; offers double bed in some suites.
