Bespoke air travel puts our window seat to shame.

Movin’ on up…to the deluxe apartment in the skkkkyyyy!!!! Just when you thought the penthouse was the peak of your living situation, you learn about The Residence on board the A380 on Etihad Airlines. It’s the only three room suite in the sky for your bespoke air travel pleasure. 

Designed for a party of two, the apartment boasts a living room, separate bedroom, and an a ensuite bathroom. In the living room, nestle into a buttery, leather sofa or dine with your travel companion at one of two dining tables. After dinner, watch a movie on your own 32-inch flat-screen TV.

Ready to retire for the evening? head down the hallway leading to a bedroom with a 6-foot 10-inch double bed. Enjoy “suite dreams” on designer Italian bed linen no less. Can’t sleep? Count sheep or watch another movie on your 27-inch flat-screen TV. In the morning enjoy breakfast in bed.

The ensuite shower room even has a full height shower to make sure you look and smell your best when you arrive to your destination. 

Trust me, you’ll be the first to know when I finally get a piece of the pie.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.
