Hahaha ! Absolute quality 😂 loving your work , in my opinion given the alternative is Thai Airways or British Airways , EVA is far superior for a direct flight , I’ve travelled Royal Laurel several times and I’ve always found the cabin crew really helpful and engaging , top review definitely do more !
Great trip report as always, with the dry humour to match the champagne. Good tip on the pricing - would like to do this route some day. Keep ‘em coming. You should have way more subscribers.
Happy 2025 Loungeindex Hope the liver is still ticking and not done you in for the lack of videos recently. Maybe just a change in circumstances. All the best and hope to see you again soon, definitely one of the best airline reviewers out there along with Flip Flop traveller
Ditto - I always look forward to these long form vids and the commentary. Great history and detail. I could not see the "timms" being kicked off, but loved the pun that was intended. Hurrah.
EVA rocks, have taken that BKK-LHR flight in biz many times and the service is consistently amazing…beats Singapore Air any day of the week on what you get and what you pay, hands down. SQ lounge in BKK wins tho for sure, I use it a lot. Fun video as ever. 🎉
Great video, informative and funny by equal measures. I don't know why you're surprised by EVA's performance/quality. It's quite well known they are an excellent airline, judging by all the reviews I've seen.
Yes I hope so too. Met the man himself at Sydney airport, November 23 and was on the same flight. Hope he hasn't packed it in, because he's so good at it. Keeping my fingers crossed as Marcel Brinkpeter has just returned to YT after an eleven month break. It's a mystery why Lounge Index hasn't got more subs - and yourself for that matter. Glad to see you still putting out good videos on your own channel. Keep at it.
@twobins that means a lot so thank you. I'm in to year three now and there must have been at least 5 points where I thought do I want to continue. The amount of work, editing, time and even thought that goes in to these is huge. I suspect some people think you just take videos throw them in to an editor and talk over it. I spend at least 8 hours on every video. The other thing to consider is we all have friends and family and loved ones and sometimes sad things happen. Would probably take a long break to when something unfortunately happens one day.
Glad you got the Windsor castle joke in before landing, also the music ones. Top work as always. Strange how they only had one main course and no physical menus. Imagine going to a cheap restaurant in the UK and having so little options, even a Harvester would give you the option for poor food. Crazy.I think a lot of the airlines are still not back up to speed after covid. Now got Flip Flop traveller, double whammy on Friday. PS That green reminds me of 1970s bathrooms.
Next time you do this avoid the EVA lounge. Go to Thai for booze and Singapore fot booze and food. The Turkish lounge is not bad for food too. Just seen you are already there! Love your reviews……..not often I see someone knocking back more than I do!
Nice trip report. The EVA lounge was very impressive with that jellyfish design, and so was the other lounges with tasty food and beverages. Sorry to hear about your menu problem, I think the crew could have done better. Except from that, everything else was top-notch
Eva air economy is all us mere mortals can afford and having travelled with them for the past 15 years I am a fan. It's certainly not "low cost" just slightly cheaper than Thai (also on a 777)
Starting to really like this channel , having recently subbed . Beginning to bingewatch. Far better than that nob ,Trek Trendy ,with his tight jeans or Non Stop Dan , always banging on about his hideous veganism..and all else. Lots of info..lots of extra info..loads of booze and loads of scoff , all topped off with excellent commentary.
One of the best Airlines in East Asia after it's Japanese partner All Nippon Airways South Koreans Asiana and Thai Airways. When I was living in Manila Philippines my father told me this he would prefer EVA Air and Thai Airways over Philippine Airlines which is spelt in Taiwan as 菲律賓航空. In my family it's split down the middle with my father always preferring Premium airlines of East Asia Eva air Cathay Pacific All Nippon Airways Japan Airlines Korean Air Asiana Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines. While my mum puts Philippine Airlines first and then the premium carriers mentioned
Trent XWB ? The B777-300ER doesn’t have a choice of engines , it’s GE90-115 only . EVA are buying some A350 aircraft and then you will have Trent engines.
I travel frequently and I am finding less and less paper menus, rather they come over with iPads and read out what's available - your stuck in the past mate
Technically that is wrong though because the actual name does not have full stops in it to show an acronym. In fact the name is odd because what does the " A " stand for when they also have Air after EVA ? Airways Air? Something is lost in translation. I guess it is similar to how to pronounce Porsche etc etc. Air traffic control call it EVA for instance, so in summary just call it what you want as long as everyone knows what you are talking about.
"Hello Sir. I am so sorry. It turns out we do have menu's. It's just that nobody ever asks for them. So much so we didn't realise we have them onboard" - - Is it that no one asks. Or is it that pax look around the cabin, notice nobody seems to have one so just presumes there aren't any? Tempered by Taiwanese being, typically, reserved & culturally adverse to 'creating a problem'/ being the one to give the appearance of being overly demanding. And Westerners seeing none in anyone's hand, guessing it's a Taiwanese/ Cultural things not to have them & not wanting to ask and looking like the culturally unaware Westerner.
Hope all is well… Easily some of the best aviation videos on TH-cam.

Thanks for another great video, I can't tell you how much you have been missed.
Glad to see another long video! Always a pleasure, I really look forward to these.
Great video, always a pleasure to watch these
Thanks for this video. I'm so ready for more, if you're still in the game. I love your droll freeweeling style.😊
Great trip report as always, with the dry humour to match the champagne. Good tip on the pricing - would like to do this route some day.

Love the Dan Murphy’s reference and the old music was back at the end :)
Excellent video Mr ! We were rolling up at your candid humour ! 😂 Will you be doing the BA review from SIN to LHR I think ? If so, we can't wait ! 😂
Great video, informative and funny by equal measures. I don't know why you're surprised by EVA's performance/quality. It's quite well known they are an excellent airline, judging by all the reviews I've seen.
Really enjoy your videos so it's a shame to see you've stopped posting.
Hope everything is OK 👍

Where have you been? So glad your back
agreed - we need a full time producer of video delights !
That first lounge is wild
I Love The Automated Beer Pouring Machine,Great Trip Report

Your videos just get better and better! You should do this full time. Bollocks to the day job. You could go on holiday by mistake ! Every 3 days ! 🥂
It is a niche airline. But is super-premium. Very consistent. Among the best
Next time you do this avoid the EVA lounge. Go to Thai for booze and Singapore fot booze and food. The Turkish lounge is not bad for food too. Just seen you are already there! Love your reviews……..not often I see someone knocking back more than I do!
Another great video, booze index, I mean lounge index.
Nice trip report. The EVA lounge was very impressive with that jellyfish design, and so was the other lounges with tasty food and beverages. Sorry to hear about your menu problem, I think the crew could have done better. Except from that, everything else was top-notch
Intetesting flight report 👍✈️🇷🇺
a booze cruise I think...
Eva air economy is all us mere mortals can afford and having travelled with them for the past 15 years I am a fan. It's certainly not "low cost" just slightly cheaper than Thai (also on a 777)
I’m broke but I could save the money in a year, sorry your life out..

Your capacity to sink the piss and stay soberish never fails to impress

It would be worth flying EVA just to see the jellyfish in the lounge!!!!!!!!

Not entirely sure if you enjoyed your flight or not.

Not called Eva. Say it E V A
