How to Book The Residence on Etihad: Cash or Miles

 

[grace]

I recently booked The Residence on Etihad, and honestly, it was a bit of an adventure figuring out the best way. I ended up using miles because I had saved quite a few through a mix of credit card points and Etihad Guest bonuses. Calling their reservations line was a game-changer—I could instantly check availability and confirm everything without the back-and-forth of the website. The agent even helped me tweak my dates when I had a last-minute change, which made the whole process stress-free. If you’re short on miles, paying cash is straightforward too, but having that personal connection really made a difference for me. For anyone looking to book, cancel, or modify, I can’t recommend calling Etihad directly enough—it’s the quickest way to get The Residence sorted without losing sleep over complex online tools.

Booking The Residence on Etihad Airways can be done either with cash or, in limited cases, with miles. The easiest way is to book directly on etihad.com, where you’ll see “The Residence” option available only on select Airbus A380 routes. Fares are usually very high, as it’s Etihad’s most luxurious cabin. Booking with Etihad Guest miles is possible but only through the Etihad Guest call center, and award availability is extremely limited. You’ll need a large number of miles—often well over a million for a round trip. Taxes and surcharges also apply regardless of how you book.
