Joe Sharkey wrote in the NYT August 12th about an Abu Dhabi airline outfitting their Airbus 380 with a three-room suite they call "The Residence". This space has a living room with two couches, a 32 inch TV set, a refrigerator, a bathroom with shower, a bedroom with double bed and a private butler who is also a chef. The one way ticket runs $20,000 and initial flights will fly from Abu Dhabi to London and they say there is a market for such. The only trouble as I see it is that that leg takes 6-1/2 hours - hardly time to get the bedsheets warm. The last time I checked I had 35,000 air miles credit - about enough to get me from Philly to Newark with my knees tucked under my chin. Forget about a butler!
