LHR-BKK 020210 in Business. Check in easy. Security at T3 nightmare as per usual - took ages
and fast track slower than regular queues. Lounge (American Airlines Admirals Club) poor - no
atmosphere regimented seating very little choice of food and wines mediocre. Boarding late and
chaotic not enough seats in the holding pen so people were standing and others unable to pass.
B777 seats large and comfy with access to aisle in a 2x2x2, but not sleep friendly as one
slips down! Food good choice and Ok, plenty of drinks, reasonable coffee. FAs attentive,
helpful and efficient. Plenty of films and other entertainment, seat back on demand. Pre
ordered meals arrived as expected.

LHR-BKK return. A reasonable airline. Seat acceptable for width and legroom, recline fairly
good. Modern aircraft, IFE decent quality but limited. Flight attendants are not that
attentive and can be rude though they do perform some drink runs. Food is very average
bordering on poor. Remains value for money on the cheaper tickets given the on-time
performance.

YVR to MNL via TPE. Flight attendants service oriented but limited ability to communicate in
English. Flights on time except for Manila-Taiwan flight which was delayed 30 minutes. Baggage
handled well. On my Manila to Taiwan flight, I was given a deluxe seat which has extra leg
room. I think the deluxe class is worth the extra money spent. Food is acceptable but not
special.

BKK-LHR. Comfortably economy seat and decent inflight entertainment. Food was bad and
attendants not particularly friendly or polite.

LHR-TPE-LHR. EVA offer good value for money for a business class flight to Taiwan. The flight
crew are attentive and polite and 777-300ER aircraft very comfortable. The angled seat is not
particularly good for sleeping as you slide down. Food and beverages average and the AVOD
system offers enough entertainment. EVA has good lounges in TPE and BKK and now uses the
American Airlines lounge at LHR which is almost devoid of food and has poor quality wines
compared to others. The real negative side is the chaotic boarding process at Heathrow which
happens every time I have flown them (3x in the past year) - it is like a rugby scrum.

TPE-PNH-TPE. EVA was still flying the old MD-90 (one aisle) aircraft on this route and the
plane was packed. Departures/arrivals on time, and food was OK, although rather cheap for a
three hour flight. More of a hot snack than a meal. Coffee was very good. Flight attendants
reasonably friendly and helpful, although, as with other EVA flights, very limited in English.
In-flight announcements were made in Mandarin and extremely fractured English. There was a
lot of chuckling in the cabin by the foreign passengers during these unintelligible
announcements! Baggage offloaded to the carousel in reasonable time.

LHR-BKK in Elite cabin. Seats wide and comfy, leg room good. Nice screen sizes and good
selection of recent movies, games, cartoons etc. Food good. Could have been more drink runs
on outbound flight. The return flight had lots of drink runs and food was good. Worth
upgrading to Elite. Cabin staff friendly.

LHR to BKK return Elite Class. Swift check in on outbound flight with polite counter
assistant. Boarding fairly fast. Definitely worth the extra money for Elite class, much more
leg room and as there are only 64 passengers in the cabin it was a lot quieter. Return trip
was again smooth until I experienced severe air sickness with 5 hours to go. The stewardesses
couldn't have been more helpful. They gave me medication and kept checking on me. When I
didn't improve they moved me and my partner to business class for the last 2.5 hours of the
flight so I could sleep. I couldn't compliment them highly enough for their attentiveness,
giving me a cold flannel for my face and tucking me in to my seat. What was a very bad
experience was made tolerable by the kindness of the staff.

TPE to YVR. I managed to select my seat online, and request the vegetarian meal. Luggage
check-in only took five minutes, and staff did not make a fuss about the extra 5kg I had. I
booked a seat on the upper deck of the 747-400. On this particular plane, the formation is
3-3, and at 36”, the seat pitch is actually 1-2” more than Economy on the lower deck. My seat
was 89K, a window seat in the last row of the upper deck. There is a wall behind me, but even
so I could incline back for about 5” for a good rest. There were two windows, and on the upper
deck there is a long surface storage compartment next to window seats on which you can place
your bag or other items. The galley is around 2m from the seat, and just before meals there
might be some noise (good wake-up call), but not unbearable. There is one toilet, located at
the front of the cabin, shared with around 30 other passengers or so. AVOD was good, around
10” screen, with a wide selection of the latest movies and series, as well as music albums and
radio. There is also a satellite map and travel information to keep you updated with where you
are and how far more to go. There were two meals (both vegetarian), one just after take off,
and one 2hrs before landing, and snack is available in between. Food was good, cabin crew
very helpful, smiling and walks around regularly with drinks to hydrate.

LHR-BKK-LHR. checked in at LHR, asked for leg room and was told to see supervisor, and was
upgraded to Elite as plane was full. Seats very comfortable, food was ok and IFE etc were all
good and latest films. Crew were excellent, smiling and serving snacks and drinks. On return
plane was not full but asked if deal for upgrade to Elite was on - supervisor said no, so I
asked how much to upgrade and was told €120. A good deal as the trip to London was as good as
the trip out.

SFO-TPE-SGN return. New B777-300 equipment returning to San Francisco with AVOD and mood
lighting in premium classes. Quite a contrast connecting with domestic UAL service SFO-PDX
with shabby equipment on United's B757. I was especially impressed with the comfort of the
economy seat, and cleanliness of the planes. Asiana Airlines does beat EVA on cabin crew
friendliness - they smile a great deal more.

Usual story these days with EVA, pay premium get economy service. Was in Business class got
onboard to find broken seat in full cabin. Was told to manually adjust the seat but this also
did not work. Finally two girls in front row were moved out and we were given their seat. They
were friends of the crew and on a free upgrade. Glad to see paying passengers got priority
this time. Recline on these seats is awful and very hard to sleep. I have become too used to
real lie flat seats. Service in general was bad, food was awful and the crew spent most of the
tie behind the curtain talking. Sign of the times I guess. Would not rate them over 3 star in all areas.

VIE-BKK return with EVA Air. Total fare of EUR750 return incl taxes with only 2-day advanced
purchase. First time flying with EVA Air. Couldn’t do online check-in nor select seat/food as
the system would not recognize my reservation number (which was correct). Unpleasant start of
the trip at the check-in, where one of Eva Air staff rudely advised me about the passport
being not in a good shape – I was asked to sign some document (in one of the Asian languages)
taking liability for being refused into the country. The manner the issue was handled was
very unprofessional. There were some Eva Air staff (not in uniforms) that were granted
business class seats – doing this in front of other guests was not very pleasant. Seats
comfortable, decent seat-pitch, blankets and pillow; personal entertainment system bit
outdated – you can experience better entertainment systems on other airlines. In addition,
one of the key buttons on the controller was stuck, which was bit irritating. Excellent food
– two hot meals plus several snack and soft drink services (at least 5). Guest care – very
good public announcement from the captain; but very poor English from flight attendants; not
smiling – just doing their job – non-personal approach to the guest.
