Its bigger rival Emirates has offered onboard showers to first-class passengers on its double-decker Airbus A380s.
It also separates first class passengers by giving them an entirely different floor in its new concourse. But Etihad's latest offering goes a step further.
One passenger - or a couple- aboard its new A380s will be able to book a three section miniature suite called a "residence".
The 11.61sqm area includes a "living room", a separate bedroom with space for two that can be closed off from the rest of the cabin and a private bathroom with shower.
A personal butler trained in London will be on hand to wait on passengers in the suite, giving them what the airline promises will be "discrete personal service and attention to detail found in the world's most exclusive hotels".
Etihad expects to get its first A380s in December, which it will deploy on the Abu Dhabi to London route.
But the new suite won't come cheap. It will likely cost about $21,000 from Abu Dhabi to London. One way.
