Thanks for the review. I am flying with EVA to Thailand and purchased my ticket via Capital One travel portal. Little did I know I am not able to pay extra for an upgrade. Would prefer to be in Premium Economy on a long flight. Anyways, thanks again for doing the review. BTW- I find your voice very pleasant.

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the review 🙏 Sometimes the airline might give you the option to bid for an upgrade a few days before the flight. You’ll receive an email about it if they do. You might also be able to pay for an upgrade to premium economy when you check-in at the airport or at the gate. I hope you enjoy your trip to Thailand and have a safe flight ✈️

I fly Eva Air quite a bit and used to fly Premium Economy just to get to Alliance Gold faster. Now that im Gold I have returned to flying economy again since last year. Economy is ok IF you guaranteed exit row seats. Gold members get to choose those free so I will continue to fly Eva economy. My next flight the P.E seats were going for $2,500.00. I purchase my exit row seat in economy for $1099.00. I always have 6 to 8hr layover there in Taipei airport. Its tolerable with free lounge access 🙂

@@russellmania9157 exit seats are definitely a great way to get extra room at a more reasonable cost for sure🙌 and the lounge access definitely makes long layovers much for comfortable.

Thanks. I have an exit row and am debating paying another 500 on top of the $200 I paid for the exit row to sit in PE
@allons.y7 күн бұрын
@@wistletoneexit row has tons of leg room so if that is your primary concern it probably isn’t necessary to upgrade to PE. The added benefits PE will offer over exit row economy though is that it is in a 2-4-2 configuration vs 3-4-3 in economy, so one less person in your row if you’re sitting on either side, slightly nicer food, amenity kit, and PE also has dedicated washrooms so should be less of a wait to use bathroom. Exit row also has no place to store personal item in front of your seat so if you like to have personal belongings close to you it is something to consider as well. Either way I hope you have a great flight ✈️

EVA is a good airline except they are more expensive than other airlines. I would think PE is good because you are in your own section with a lavatory. Because there is a small section for PE you get your food faster than if you were in economy. Also with EVA you get two extra sides than economy.

Great review, and good to know about the delta between economy and premium economy. I've never flown EVA so this is super helpful. Keith has often talked about how great their business class is compared to other airlines but I don't believe he's flown premium economy so this is a good intro for me. I'm not sure if I would fly PE from Van to Taipei or just splurge on a business class flight (on points) like Keith did when he went diving in Indonesia last year.

Oh definitely it’s a long flight from Canada to Taipei! I need to check out EVA business class one day if I can find the award space. They definitely looked real comfy up in business class from what i saw 😎

Excellent video. Economy ($1400 sfo-bkk) by design or Premium economy ($2800 sfo-bkk). Actually flew economy last month. Actually quite nice until on the 2nd leg, the guy reclined it to the max. 1 vote for no recline. 🤣

@allons.y Only from Tpe to Bkk, 3 hours. He moved up a little when I asked. It's quite a nice 12hr Sfo to TPE n the 3 hr. to Bkk flight on Eva.... Better than the JAL 10 hr + 6 hr format to Bangkok. The 6 is tiring. Cheers on your travels! Good luck!

Were you able to select your seat for free or did you have to pay the fee? I need the legroom so I'm always debating between PE or the extra $185 for the emergency exit in regular economy.
@allons.y28 күн бұрын
You have to pay a fee if you are booking basic fare. Anything above basic fare you get seat selection. Or you can wait 48 hrs before the flight and seat selection will be free then as well

Would you recommend flying EVA but having miles credited to an aeroplan account? Or should I have them deposited to an EVA mileage acct?
@allons.y19 күн бұрын
It depends on a lot of factors but if Aeroplan is your main loyalty program then I think it makes sense to have the points credited there even if flying EVA. That’s actually what I did since aeroplan is the loyalty program I tend to get the most mileage from and their partner redemption rates are great as well. But if you tend to mainly fly EVA it might make more sense for you to credit to EVA instead of

Hi! Does the 777-300er Premium economy have their own bathrooms exclusive to PE and not regular economy. On the map of the plane it looks like there are no washroom at the front of Premium and only at back to which economy seats can also access?
@allons.y28 күн бұрын
There are no washrooms at the front of PE only at the back. They are exclusive to PE and there is a sign on the door that says the washroom is only for PE passengers only. The FAs are pretty good about directing people to the correct washrooms, but I suppose it's possible for someone from economy to 'sneak' into the PE washrooms if the FA does not notice.
