A couple of days ago I booked a ticket in the Etihad Residence from Abu Dhabi to Sydney, which I’m really excited about. Yesterday I wrote a post sharing the initial communication Etihad had with me after the booking was confirmed. I’ve heard of people making special requests when flying in The Residence, so I asked you guys for ideas about what to request.
A vast majority of readers don’t read the comments section, though the comments on the post are gold — I laughed out loud at many of them. So in this post I wanted to share a selection 15 requests I plan on making for my flight in The Residence, based on the comments from you guys. In no particular order, it seem perfectly reasonable to request:
- This butler and ask him to bring his art supplies, so he can sketch me
- Hello Kitty bedding
- Real Fanta and German pretzels
- A framed and autographed photo of Donald Trump hanging in the bedroom (not taking sides here, but someone recommended it)
- An onboard massage, rather than just one in the lounge
- Hermes toiletries
- A specific type of toilet paper
- Embroidered bedding, and china and cutlery engraved with my initials
- A pink loofah for the shower
- A Delta A350 model, and a copy of Delta’s quarterly financial results showing the profit they made, signed by the CEO of Etihad
- A full afternoon tea catered by the Burj Al Arab
- Boxed Franzia wine, a Big Mac, and Dove toiletries
- Being driven to the airport in a Ferrari rather than an Audi A8
- A pre-flight aircraft walkaround with the first officer
- Boarding music changed from the usual Etihad tune to Shawn Mendes’ greatest hits (I figured asking for a private Shawn Mendes concert might be pushing my luck)
All reasonable requests, right? 😉
(Yes, I’m kidding, but just had to share some of the comments. They’ve at least given me some great inspiration for what I do plan on trying to request.)
