On a 20hr flight to BKK via Taipei I flew economy class. I was surprised how short the seat
pitch was. Seating in a window seat proved difficult getting in/out of when two other
passengers were sound asleep. With barely enough room for my carry on, it was reduced even
more when in the recline position as the footrest took up additional space. The seat in front
of me reclined is seat and almost cracked the top of my laptop. The connecting flight was no
improvement as my leg room was confiscated by the IFE box located in the seat in front of me.
On the return I paid the additional upgrade fee to sit in economy plus - well worth the extra
bucks! The seats are 2x2 with good leg room and seat width.

I had a seat in Economy Class, and booked a seat online on the upper deck of EVA Air's 747-400
from TPE-YVR (I believe rows 70-89 are upper deck). On the upper deck of 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 (and much more than most other airlines in Economy)! 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”, which is plenty to have a good rest. There were two windows, and on
the upper deck there is a storage compartment next to all the window seats on which you can
place your bag or other items, so you don’t need to put your things under the seat in front of
you, providing more legroom.

BKK-LAX (via TPE) return Elite/Premium Economy. Worth paying a a little more for this -
especially for a long flight and if you are tall like me (6'3"). The seat was wide and
comfortable, and had plenty of leg room. The recline could be a bit better but not bad. Had
own AVOD system with good films.

For a B777-300ER, I thought that EVA would have the decency to put in a footrest. IFE box
are located underneath the seats, which makes it uncomfortable to stretch out. For those who
plan on flying economy with EVA, I recommend spending a few extra dollars and get an Elite
seat instead. A far cry from SIA B777-300er economy.

Economy deluxe cabin (elite class), which is worth the upgrade. The seat had superb leg
space, were very soft and had a cradle design. When you recline your sliding seat you will
notice that the recline is superb. The seat recline is not electronic, however is manually
operated by pulling two buttons. The seats had an adjustable headrest. The PTV monitor is 8
inches and remote control is located on the middle armrest. There is SMS email service
available for optional pay use, and there are electrical outlets located at the seat bottom.
There is no foot rest however to replace it is a sofa recline leg rest which can be extended for certain body heights.

Good bang for your buck type of deal. The seat is pretty good for economy, although lacks some
spacious qualities, its not that bad. I had an emergency exit/aisle seat so I was extremely happy
with my seat leg room and mobility. However seeing the screen for movies was difficult and I was
right next to the lavatories, so I had people walking past me the entire flight and I could hear
every flush. Seat was confortable, with a leg rest, reclines well and has pretty good width.

We were very lucky at check-in to be put on the upper deck. The cabin feels so much more spacious
than the lower deck economy seats and has much more leg room and storage space.
BKK - LHR we were able to check in online so did this as soon as possible and again were allocated
upper deck seats. These seats cannot be pre-allocated on the lower economy fares so get to check in as early as
possible or check-in online if available.

Travelling as a couple on the 777-300ER means that there are only 3 rows at the back of double seats
together and 1 row in the mid-cabin of double seats. These seats are very comfortable and we slept
9 hours out of 14 from TPE-LAX. If you are after seat pitch, then row 68 (the window seats on both
sides) offer more legroom than others due to the curvature of the cabin and the spacing of the rows
- although consequently the aisle seats in these blocks appear to have slightly reduced seatpitch -
so access past a neighbour could be an issue. IFE good and easy to use.

Legroom space |
Upper deck economy class 3x3 seating. Outward leg was in the exit row (85) and had more leg room
then business class! Only 11 rows in the upper deck and all seats economy with more leg room then
normal economy. Return leg (86) and had middle and window seats. Excellent leg room and little
shelf next to window seat was very handy. Had a walk around the rest of the plane and the downstairs
economy looked awful - no room and very squashed. Request for the upper deck on the long flights
it's worth it! |

From SIN to SFO via TPE. This is relevant to the second part of the flight.The seat pitch and the
seat width was fine. But the legroom space was atrocious. It's almost like your shin is meant to be
glued to the tray table and the footrest wasn't fully functional; it was a little inoperative.
Overall, the seat comfort was poor; although the aircraft was relatively clean.

I found that the footrest did not extend up enough, which made my lower thighs carry my leg weight
when footrest extended. Seat was a little hard, however, plenty of elbow and leg room.

Loads of space for those of us with long legs. 34" pitch makes it comfortable, and allows you to get sleep on the flight
