Every cool review. I wouldn't need all that. A 7k first class ticket would do just fine for me. Im trying to shoot down as much sleeping medication as possible get myself in a reclining situation and be out cold.

Looks great, but for 32k, I'd rather buy a coach seat, get hammered before the flight, sleep through most of it, and buy a DD40 as soon as I land.

Prince Valium and a double Scotch works wonders on a long flight!

7k for an international first class ticket? That might not even get you from anywhere in the US to London.

You'll need a little bit more than that.

For less than double that you could charter a jet and bring a bunch of friends to share the cost.

Depends. Etihad AUH to ORD round trip First is about $14K booked through an agency. There are shorter routes in the $7K range. And Etihad pricing tends to be a bit high.

No way I would pay $32K to fly commercial. You're on the promenade deck, but it's still a cattle boat.

OMG wow....

I'm sure those riding in that class are really close to flying private.

A lot probably have their own jets but they don't have the nautical range for some locations (a Gulfstream G650 and commercial airliner would go from New York to Tokyo for instance but a Hawker 900XP couldn't).

How could you even think about leaving your wife and kids in economy.

$7k would get you from East Coast to London in F.

I don't mind spending to travel J or F when it's a long flight but even if I had the disposable income to drop $32K on a flight like this I don't think I would.

Quite amazing, but also so over the top. A good meal and lie-flat seats is well enough for me.

Pretty funny that they "forget" to load this passengers bags... I guess all is shiny on the outside, but bottomline comes down to mistakes happen.

I fly a lot. There are much better deals that this. Dubai to Toronto, Emirates private cabin is a fraction of the cost. While it may not be a suite, you still get a shower and your own private space.

And they do not loose your bags lol. I think that was a one off error.
