Wealthy after rebirth

Chapter 227 Take off, set off

Time flies by, and it is the first day of the last month of the year in a blink of an eye. The capital city at this time of the year is a bit cold. As for whether it is snowing or not, it depends on God's mood.

In the Beijing International Airport, Shi Yining, his secretary and bodyguards sat in the VIP waiting hall and enjoyed an exquisite tea break!
This VIP lounge is not a VIP in the usual sense, it can be said to be a VIP among VIPs. The cozy small room is only open to the most respected passengers, whether they are businessmen, politicians, or charter passengers!

However, Shi Yining possesses the attributes of both a business master and a charter flight passenger, so he is naturally regarded as a distinguished guest by the airline.

Shi Yining has never been overseas. In his previous life, even if he traveled occasionally on business, he only flew domestically, so he attached great importance to this trip and made full preparations. He changed three airlines just to choose the airline to fly from the capital to Europe!
Huang Jiayan was in charge of helping Shi Yining make travel arrangements. She had a good temper and took the trouble to choose the most suitable airline for him. In the end, Boss Shi chose Etihad Airways, one of the most luxurious airlines in the world!
When it comes to luxury airlines, the first airline that comes to many people's minds may be Emirates Airline. However, they don't know that there is another airline that also belongs to the Emirates and is also very good, that is Etihad!

Compared with Emirates Airlines, which was established in 1985, Adhati Airlines is much younger. It only officially started commercial operations in 2003. Among many airlines, it can be regarded as a very young airline junior.

The strength of the young airline should not be underestimated. With ten ultra-luxury A380-800 passenger planes built by Airbus, it has become the fourth largest airline in the Middle East. It also owns Air Berlin, Air Seychelles, Virgin Australia, and Irish Airways. , Alitalia, Air Serbia, and Jet Airways, becoming the fastest growing airline in the history of commercial aviation.

Since its inception, this luxurious airline has won many awards. It has frequently won awards in various outstanding airline selections, and its strength is very solid!
Shi Yining's trip this time was to charter an entire A380-800 passenger plane from Adhati Airlines, just for him.

The 73-meter-long A80 airliner with a wingspan of 380 meters looks very majestic on the airport apron. The golden "ETIHAD" English words are printed on the side of the fuselage. Under the sunshine, the golden logo shines very beautifully.

The Airbus A380 is a great plane for passengers, but not so much for airlines...

Today's air transportation model is different from before. More often, small passenger aircraft are needed for multiple transfers, rather than point-to-point long-distance transportation by large passenger aircraft. In this environment, the A380 has fewer and fewer uses.

But in any case, the A380 is still the threshold for becoming a luxury airline. If an airline does not even have the A380, it is estimated that luxury will not be written in its selling point...

Even though maintaining the A380 will cause a huge financial burden, I don’t care!

According to the financial report, Etihad Airways’ revenue in 2014 was 84 billion, but it still lost 19 billion.

Among such a large loss, there is naturally no shortage of maintenance costs for various luxury airliners. The maintenance cost of each A380-800 is as high as 5000 million a year, and Etihad Airways has ten A380s!

Even at the Beijing International Airport, you can’t always see big guys like the A380, so when the big plane with the Etihad logo appeared on the tarmac, it attracted the attention of many tourists in the terminal hall. look.

Everyone guessed where this behemoth was going to fly.

However, when the tourists had different opinions, they suddenly saw the ground crew delivering a boarding ladder to the side of the A380, and the cabin door opened at this moment.

After the boarding ladder and the cabin door were docked, a very luxurious Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle appeared next to the plane. After it came to a complete stop, the driver hurriedly got out of the car, quickly opened the door, and respectfully made a gesture of please.

"If I'm not mistaken, are those people going to board the plane?"

"That's right, damn it. Could it be that these people chartered an A380, which is a bit luxurious..."

"Fuck, you call this a bit extravagant? And... I don't think these people chartered the plane, but one of them!"

When Shi Yining appeared next to the plane with his secretary and bodyguards, it naturally aroused discussions among the people in the terminal hall.

Chartered flight travel can be said to be a standard configuration for the top rich, but there are not many people who see it with their own eyes, not to mention such a domineering A380, which makes countless people fascinated.

Those with good eyes can even see clearly the identities of the people boarding the plane...

A boss slowly walked up the boarding stairs. A bodyguard took the lead in front of him to investigate the situation. Behind him was a beautiful woman with a good figure who must be an assistant or secretary. She couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she seemed to be right. Finally, there was another Bodyguards line up.

No luggage?

Of course there is, but the staff has already transported it to the plane in advance, so there is no need for the boss and the people around the boss to worry about it!

This battle is by no means ordinary rich people!

When the gap is not big, I will be jealous. When the gap is big enough, all that is left is envy.

Amid countless pairs of envious eyes, Shi Yining boarded the A380 provided by Etihad Airways.

"Adhati Airlines welcomes Mr. Shi..."

Two rows of flight attendants were waiting inside the cabin door early in the morning. There were four of them on one side, all of whom were beauties of first-class stature. Each of them was clearly recognizable. Their skin color, eye color and hair color were different. It could be seen that Different nationalities from all over the world.

They all have different looks and appearances, but they uniformly wear the flight attendant uniform provided by Etihad Airways, purple knee-length skirt and purple jacket, and a unique flight attendant hat makes everyone look very elegant.

Feeling the beautiful exotic atmosphere, Shi Yining's heart moved slightly. He has been a rich man for almost half a year, and he has to sigh again, being a rich man is so good!
If you don’t have strong capital, you can’t imagine this kind of happiness. Just like the people standing in the terminal, they know that Boss Shi has chartered the entire A380, but they don’t know what’s going on inside the plane. The attentive service of the stewardess...

Huang Jiayan, who was following Shi Yining, just wanted to help her forehead. She saw a smile on Shi Yining's cheek from behind, and thought to herself, why are men's preferences so persistent and single?
Shi Yining didn't know about Huang Jiayan's mental activities. He passed by the stewardesses, and each stewardess gave a brief self-introduction.

This introduction is purely for etiquette and there is no expectation that passengers will remember it.

Indeed, Shi Yining passed in front of the stewardess, and finally remembered a general idea, this one is from Germany, that one is from Greece, and the United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria...

After a little thought in my heart, I found that the eight beauties really came from all over the world, from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, everywhere. This is really a collision of world civilizations!

Since the service target is the big boss of China, Etihad Airways took great care of the language issue when selecting flight attendants. Each flight attendant has a certain level of Chinese expression ability and there is no obstacle to communication.

Walking into the cabin, the first thing that catches the eye is the logo screen of Etihad Airways, which is very atmospheric.

"Dear Mr. Shi, thank you for your trust in Etihad Airways. I am Jennifer, the housekeeper of this flight, from Ireland. I will serve you wholeheartedly. I hope you have a wonderful journey!"

A beautiful woman wearing an exquisite suit came to Shi Yining with an approachable smile on her face, and her Chinese pronunciation was more standard than that of the stewardesses.

Flight Butler is an exclusive Etihad Airways service!
Seat classification on civil aviation aircraft can be arranged according to the needs of the airline. The number of economy class, business class and first class is variable.

If you want to attract more passengers, you should increase the proportion of economy class. If you want to serve more wealthy people, you should strive to create a comfortable and luxurious first-class cabin.

From this point of view, the target customers of the A380 operated by Etihad Airways must be rich people!
Judging from the passenger plane chartered by Boss Shi, the airline has reduced the proportion of economy class to the minimum, leaving only more than 300 seats. Significantly increased, the passenger capacity is only a pitiful 430 more!
The maximum passenger capacity of A380-800 is as high as 850 people, that is to say, if all economy class is arranged, there are 900 passengers plus crew members!

However, at the request of Etihad Airways, the number dropped by more than half!

Generally, the most luxurious seats on passenger planes are first class, but this is not the case on Etihad Airways' A380. At least two hundred economy class seats are sacrificed in exchange for an extremely luxurious residence in the sky, and the flight butler is A job based on the official residence in the air.

As a special service of the Air Residence, Etihad Airline butlers must go through strict selection by the company and must pass the professional training at the Savile Butler Academy in London before they can take up their posts!

Jennifer is not as tall as the eight flight attendants in front of her, but her temperament is particularly different. From her clothes to her makeup, she is meticulous, giving people a very reassuring feeling.

"Jennifer, in-flight steward, very fresh..."

Shi Yining smiled and shook hands with Jennifer.

"Mr. Shi, please allow me to give you a brief introduction, which will help you experience this air journey."

Jennifer saluted standardly, signaling for Shi Yining to follow her towards the nose of the plane.

Boss Shi has a total of four people flying on the plane, whether it is economy class or business class, it has nothing to do with them. The two official residences in the sky are enough for four people.

When Shi Yining agreed to follow Jennifer to the sky mansion, the boarding was over, the flight attendant assisted the ground staff to remove the boarding ladder, and at the same time closed the cabin door, and only waited for the flight time to take off.

Shi Yining followed Jennifer to the most luxurious area of ​​the plane, and the scene after opening the door made him involuntarily take a deep breath.

The official residence, since it is called the official residence, naturally has a huge space for activities. Judging from the fact that only two aviation official residences can be built for [-] economy class seats, the size of the space is very intuitive!

The living room is located on the outermost side, with a POLTRONA FRAU double sofa, a handmade wool carpet, a 43-inch display screen, two dining tables for dining at the same time, private storage space and a mini refrigerator.

The double bed on the side has already been covered with quilts. If you lie in this kind of place and sleep, you may feel a sense of space-time confusion when you wake up. You will not realize that you are at an altitude of [-] meters, and you will only think that you are lying in a luxury hotel. in the guest room!
"Mr. Shi, do you prefer champagne or wine?"

Arriving at the official residence in the sky, Jennifer seemed to be conjuring a magic trick. There was an extra tray in her hand. On it were all kinds of expensive drinks for welcoming guests. Champagne and wine were just different types, and there were also various brands.

Since this is the most respected charter flight service, all the drinks are brand new and unopened. As for how to deal with unfinished drinks, that is not what Boss Shi needs to care about!
"Just have a glass of champagne."

Jennifer opened a bottle of champagne for Shi Yining. Coincidentally, it was the Dom Pérignon that Boss Shi had tasted with Yi Wenqi not long ago. Tens of thousands of champagne were used to welcome the guests. Money is really willful!
Shi Yining took the tall champagne glass from Jennifer and walked to the window, and pressed the button to open and close the curtains. The curtains were slowly folded, and the outside scene could be clearly seen through the porthole.

He was surprised to find that the waiting hall not far away was actually moving...

Of course, the waiting hall wouldn't move, only the plane could move, but Shi Yining didn't feel the plane moving. He was very surprised by this sense of tranquility and comfort.

The plane was not ready to take off, but turned around, but I have to say that it was very smooth.

Holding the champagne, Shi Yining continued to follow Jennifer's introduction to view the mansion in the sky.

After browsing around, he found that the first-class cabin above the first-class cabin is indeed very good. If you usually take a plane and book a ticket for the Sky Residence, having such an experience will definitely be worth the price of the ticket.

As long as you have money, there will be a lot of people around the world trying to make you happy. This is true!
"Mr. Shi, this flight has already entered the departure time."

After visiting the mansion in the sky, Jennifer glanced at her watch and smiled to remind her.

"Oh……"

Shi Yining agreed, and then walked towards the seat. Several people around him also walked out of the room to find seats and wait for takeoff.

"Mr. Shi, due to the special design, the impact of takeoff and landing on the residence is very subtle. Everyone can move around in the residence."

Jennifer is very confident that the interior of the mansion will not be affected by take-off and landing.

The confidence of the airline comes from the excellent design of Airbus, but Li Jack and Evans are still not at ease. They insisted that Shi Yining sit on the seat and fasten his seat belt...

Not long after, after a slight fluctuation, Shi Yining only felt a slight sense of acceleration, followed by a slight tilt. After a while, when he looked out the window again, he found that the Beijing International Airport had become the size of a palm.
