I asked
Etihad Australia last night when I can start a booking process for the Residence since we (2 Adult Australians) are flying to Jordan in January 2015.
The reply is pasted below:
Thanks for your query. We have not received any announcement on when the A380 Residence will be available from Sydney as of yet.
Although we have unveiled the products, we are still waiting for the dates on when the A380 will be operating in Australia.
You can check with us maybe at the end of the year and hopefully we have more information about availability and pricing for you.
I will continue to purchase Lottery tickets so I can have something to spend the great win on!.
