For the series: bombshell news. Etihad announced that, as of from next February 1, 2025, will begin to fly with one of its A380s by Abu Dhabi to Singapore.
In this article:
Starting Feb. 1, '25 Etihad will fly to Singapore with the A380
Announcement, this one, made on a decidedly special day: today, August 9, is the Singapore National Day, commemorating the latter's independence from Malaysia and the 1965 establishment of the Republic. Singapore becomes, therefore, the 4th destination served by one of Ethiad's A380s; the others are New York, London and Paris (from November 1, '24).

The flight EY496 will take off from Abu Dhabi Airport at 10:05 p.m. and land in Singapore Airport the following morning at 9:35 a.m. (local time); on the reverse leg, it will depart the city-state at 7:25 p.m. and land in the Emirates at 11:20 p.m. (local time).
It will be possible to fly in the legendary "The Residence"
Etihad's A380 is configured in. 3 classes of service: in the main deck there are. 337 economy seats, while the upper deck counts 70 business class seats e 9 places in 'First apartments'.
The good news, as anticipated, did not end there: not only will it be possible to fly aboard Etihad's super jumbo, but it will be possible to do so in the legendary "The Residence", one of the most exclusive and expensive (as well as coveted) cabins in the world of commercial aviation.
What is "The Residence"
The name, evidently, was not chosen at random: it is a real three-room apartment, which can accommodate up to two people and has a stay, a bedroom, a private bathroom (with shower, to boot) and butler. What more could you want? Well, there's something more: passengers flying in "The Residence" will also have access to a limousine that will accompany them all the way down the plane's steps (not before, however, escorting them to the private lounge).
Etihad increases flights to Thailand
The Abu Dhabi-based carrier will also offer up to 41 weekly flights to Thailand starting October 27, 2024: specifically, it will fly 3 times a day to Bangkok and 20 times a week to Phuket, two of the country's most popular destinations.
In conclusion
Etihad's new destination operated by the Super Jumbo can only delight the many avgeeks who have always dreamed of flying aboard "The Residence." 3 words, actually 4 words: long live the A380.
