    This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

    100% !! I’ve only been on the EVA 777-300ER with the older business class seats.. but I had no complaints about that , ever(!). .. the tipping point into the excellent category for me is the quietly superb and totally professional crew who truly show their dedication and care for the job they do so well..I’m really glad that EVA still want to excel and don’t let any standards slip at all..it seems they just get better and better .. 🙏

    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 MUC-TPE in this class and plane 2 weeks ago and it was equally spectacular. I don’t fly business often so it was a real treat. Only issue is that my true window seat (5A) was taken away to a rebooking and I ended up switching seats on the plane with another passenger so I at least got 6k (window but less privacy). Thanks for that report, it showed me again how special that flight really was!

    Man, this is the first video I watch from you, and I absolutely loved it. I'm living in Taiwan, so Eva is my fav airlines. Flew in J with them on the B789 to Milan last Christmas (finally got good used of the miles) and I was blown away too. Still using the PJs at home haha. If only they increase the offer on the IFE and improve the app (which is quite slow and limited with functions), it would be just there at the top. But soft and hard products are just that good.

    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.

    Awesome video! This carrier is definitely on my wish list. China airlines, their competitor - also has a pretty spiffy looking JCL cabin. Far out, your meal service was absolutely first class! The 787 window tint differs from aircraft to aircraft. I noticed the older the plane is, the less effective is the tint.

    • @tfft
      @tfft  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah there are two variants of the tint. The original tint didn’t block out heat very well, the newer one certainly does a better job at that.

    EVA is my favorite airline, world wide! I flew exclusively in EVA during the five years I worked and lived in Thailand...I flew Economy Plus, which was located in the nose of the plane...the food was really tasty and I loved the Haagen Dazs ice cream...Also noodles whenever hunger struck in between meals...The seat was large and comfy...I really miss EVA since retirement to the States...sigh.

    Another fantastic report on a really good product. Again done in your by now absolutely professional format, starting with the seat map, the route information and info on the airline. 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!

    • @tfft
      @tfft  ปีที่แล้ว

      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 🙏🏻

      The RC I’ve not been to, but there’s nothing about it that seems all of that impressive to me. For the Kempinski, I’ll recommend to you the same that I did to my family that recently went to Bali (and stayed at the Belmond)… goto the Kempinski for Lunch one day… have a walk around the resort, enjoy the beauty of it all. It is a stunning setting which is worth a visit, but if the Belmond is your vibe, then I’d probably spend my nights there. Hope you enjoy your trip!

    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. What impressed me with my flight on EVA was that the multi-course meal service was plated beautifully and delivered at a perfect pace. Training, coordination, and attention to detail made the experience unforgettable.

    Perfect score! Yes, I also think EVA deserves it. I can’t help comparing it with Singapore Airline where cost cutting was highly visible. For example, SIA keep providing ‘hawker type’ of food fare which really come across as cheap albeit novel for those unfamiliar. The EVA cabin design certainly beats that in SIA where the need to contort one’s legs to lie flat is really unacceptable. Thanks for the review.
