Sam Huang had never imagined his flier miles would literally land him in the most luxurious situation ever. Using all his airline reward points helped Sam fly a $23,000 first class lounge for just $108! Yes, that happened. To fly from Sydney to Abu Dhabi, Sam redeemed 60,000 AAdvantage miles plus paid $108 to reserve a spot on Etihad's "Apartment" on Airbus A380 - the word's largest passenger plane. However, with a wish to tour Etihad's premier luxury "Residence", Sam emailed the airline asking for permission to get a glimpse of the most high-end suite there was. And while an "Apartment" ticket costs $6500, the "Residence" ticket is priced at $23,000. Since asking for permission was the only way to tour the Residence, Sam got much more than just a glimpse. He got to spend half-an-hour of his life aboard the plushest suite ever. Here, take a look at what awaited Sam on Etihad's first class. This was the in-suite bathroom - nothing like the coop found on regular planes.
Oh, and it came with a private butler. And it kept getting better and better.
The sumptuous meals that would have most likely ruined regular travels for Sam.
