EVA has long been one of my favorite airlines, especially to and from Asia. I began flying with them shortly after they introduced Premium Economy, then called Evergreen Deluxe Class. Their Premium Economy is, for my money, best in the air. And Business Class is akin to First on any American carrier. Will always look for them when making reservations. And I agree with the reviewer, the coffee, freshly brewed, is terrific. Several years back I became ill enroute to Taipei from New York. After attending to me on a blanket on the galley floor and locating a doctor on board, they kindly moved me to Business for the remainder of the flight.

I flew EVA a couple months ago from SFO-TPE-BKK round trip in PE on their 777s. The business class cabin in your video looks much better than the one I walked through on the 777s. Those looked a bit cramped and the seats looked narrow. The PE seats in the 777 were definitely showing their age. I had to use a pillow as a lumbar support to not feel a metal bar digging into my back on the TPE-SFO leg. The crews were quite efficient. The biggest downside was the catering from Taipei. It ranged from adequate to completely inedible (from TPE to SFO). Their catering from BKK was the best, while that from SFO was mostly okay.

I haven't worked in the restaurant industry but I'd guess success is partly based on coordination between kitchen and food delivery to create a seamless meal experience. Limited space in an airplane galley and isles would make this more challenging in the air.

Training, coordination, and attention to detail made the experience unforgettable.

And a really nice , systematic and consecutive narrative.The por medaillions looked wonderful..and once i saw them i realized like struck by lightning what i have been missing for 10 years on my favourite Gulf airlines😂 To find La Grande Dame in Business Class seems unique to me..it is typically a First Class Champagne. Wines though were typical business class, like a 2015 Bordeaux. The more i watched it the more i thought: would like to try them. But then, at the end, came the total spoiler, which you had nicely hinted before: they locked these silly 787 windows..an absolut NO GO for me. I would never ever fly an airline knowing they do this. Did you ask for your window to be unlocked? It worked for me when i was once trapped on such a flight. Hope your luggage has arrived!

The 2nd half of the flight was in the dark so didn’t think to ask until too late. I normally film the final approach from the moment I can feel we start the descent. I wait five minutes after that and asked. I was told they’d be unlocked shortly. Again 11 minutes before landing I ask and they said yes they’re doing I now… which was true, but that’s when I learned it takes a solid 5 minutes to undim lol. Pretty sure if I’d asked (had I known) in the beginning of the flight for at least my windows to be unlocked 30 minutes out they would have obliged. And yes, got my two bags around 4 days after arrival. Both were sent via different routing so it was… ‘fun’… to watch it unfold lol. Thanks as always for watching 🙏🏻

Wow what a wonderful flight. I often fly EVA but on their 777 which was also good. The 787 has more cutting edges. EVA product is better than China Airlines as they offer better quality of food and amenities - China Airlines on the other hand has better interior. My new favorite is actually Starlux. It feels a step up above EVA- strong focus on Taiwanese food and the food quality is even better. Starlux crew also seems more passionate about what they do. Can't wait for your reivew on their long haul flight :)

EVA…just WOW. Thx for the detailed review/love fest. I can’t wait to try. Which of their routes would you guess is the best in terms of hard product, food, lounge, etc.? Do you think the food was particularly good because it was coming from VIE for some reason? 💯

I’ve always had good food on EVA (in the air not in the lounges…). For the best product you’d just need to choose from any of their 787 destinations. EVA just added a 3rd daily to Saigon using a 787 (first time for Saigon…) perhaps they’ll do the same in Singapore… then it would be an easy choice haha.

I flew on EVA almost exclusively for nearly 20 years and I still love them but with their business class is so much higher than other airlines I can't justify flying on them anymore. They are between $1000 to $2000 more than other airlines like ANA and Singapore.

I think Veuve La Grande Dame 2008 is more on the $200 range? At some point they served the 2006 vintage instead which was more on the 200-300 range but I think they ran out of that entire vintage so now surprisingly it’s Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle (an excellent F quality champagne) for JFK/CDG and Duval-Leroy Clos des Bouveries 2006 vintage for others….EVA consistently serving F champagne in business class!

I get all of my pricing info from Wine-Searcher. Was available for that price at the time of creating the graphics for this video. But yes, either way they do certainly outperform with Champagne regardless.

Use EvaAir from Sea via Taiwan via Cebu. 787-10 Sea to TPI and an A330 to CEB. With my girlfriend returned to visit my family in Washington state in business class we chose the center 2 seats as together. She flown in the Philippines but never the long international flights. She was so excited approaching Seattle as it very clear and Mt Rainer was visible.and she was crying. The flight attendant came and if she ok.and have her a hug, much more compassionate than the US domestic airlines where is always a drunk racist on board.

To be honest, Qantas’ Vantage XL feel like a “Vantage M” compared to this one haha. Saw the Qantas J cabin last week (just walking through, flew in Eco) and it just looked so… small? Idk… Similar to how the Austrian J cabin just had a miniature-scale quality to it.

Will fly them in 4 weeks... VIE-BKK and on my return KLU-TPE-BKK-VIE... All in C so looking forward... Did our honeymoon back in 2009 on a similar route but in their A330-200 then... Service was great but seats were only angled flat

❤ the pace of these review videos compared to the others. just enough of everything to engage viewers without overly boring or fast paced with the usual humor. Age old question - why do most Asian airlines have better service quality than European/American airlines even when they are just moderate 😂
@tfft
Жыл бұрын
Airlines- no matter where they are- always seem to be keenly aware of now what their customers want, but rather, what they can get away with. Unfortunately, the American/Euro carriers can just get away with a lot more and so they penny pinch to the extreme, a bit ironically because most living there have never flown the likes of EVA, CX, SQ, etc. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
