A famous YouTuber recently traveled in “world's most expensive plane suite” in a now-viral video, ultimately describing the suite’s vast amount of space and privacy as “borderline ridiculous.”
On Dec. 16, YouTube star Casey Neistat shared video footage of his outrageous experience flying in Etihad Airways’ “The Residence” digs with his 11.6 million followers on the platform.
Reported to be the “world's most expensive plane suite,” Travel + Leisure reports that one-way tickets in The Residence can run between $31,000 and $68,000.

“There’s two things you never really get when flying on an airplane – space and privacy. And this plane had a borderline ridiculous amount of both of those things,” Neistat commented of his experience flying in the most upscale suite of the enormous A380 plane.
His footage of the memorable trip has since been viewed over 4 million times on YouTube.
