YouTuber let most expensive airline in the world decide his flight and was left speechless by what happened
Most people won't get the chance to fly first class in their lifetime, but one YouTuber revealed another level above as he got the world's most expensive airline to choose his ticket for him.
The experience of flying for most people involves cramped seats, long queues, and limited luggage — and it only looks like it'll get worst in the future if airlines implement some rather controversial design changes.
If you have enough money, however, flying can be a relatively luxurious experienc, and there are even airlines specifically designed to bridge the gap between commercial planes and private jets when it comes to comfort and features.
One famous YouTuber got a taste of that when he challenged airlines to buy his tickets for him, as what many consider to be the world's most expensive airline cooked up a treat to end the video.

Will "WillNE" Lenney is known for his rather outrageous challenges on YouTube, and his latest video saw him jet across the world both to experience some new places and also test out various airlines.
You're bound to get a few surprises here and there when you let the airline decide where you're going and how you get there though, and in a turn of events nobody could have seen coming, many of the companies picked their most expensive options.
Few can top what Etihad Airways suggested though, as not only did they book him a flight that took him all the way to Singapore, they did it with a ticket for 'The Residence' — the company's most expensive option, and for good reason too.
Traveling with this ticket starts before you even get to the airport, as you're given a dedicated driver who will chauffeur you to your starting destination and guide you through the building to the gate.
From there, you've effectively got a small hotel room at the front of the plane, which is certainly an upgrade on even the best first class seats. The private three-room suite comes with a bedroom, living room, and even an en-suite shower that lets you access five minutes of hot water.
On top of this you get your own private butler who caters to your every need during the lengthy journey, and any connections are made to feel effortless as you stay in another luxurious private room with the option of a massage to reset your body after hours of travel.
The big question, of course, is the price, and you won't be shocked to learn that it's rather expensive. Etihad Residence tickets typically range between $2,500 and $20,000 depending on where you're going, but Will's London to Singapore flight set him back a jaw-dropping $8,195 in total.
Looking at what's on offer you probably feel like you're getting your money's worth, but not everyone has that amount to throw on just getting to and from your destination, so seeing it through the eyes of a YouTuber is the best that we'll have to settle for right now.
