Flying With Eva Air in Boeing 777-300ER (Again!) | Economy Class | Taipei - Seattle | Trip Report

[@chayame21]

Hey guys! (Sorry for a lot of explanation and my little sucky at English) If you watch this video or saw my eva to seattle takeoff and landing video, i feel like the video needs more improvement. Not only I should keep recording (Higher risk of being asked to stop recording) but recording my phone upsite down so my camera is at the right side of the window and it could capture the flapperon instead of 50% of the plane's wing. FYI, I was sitting at 65K and the window infront of me if you see at 14:18 or from my portion view from Go-pro, I can see the flapperon fully. In that case I might right, even if I recording my phone upside down in the first place during takeoff and landing, I still unable to capture the flapperon and can only capture the two pylon. I've been thinking about this a lot of times because I was flying on the 777 from SFO to NRT in 2016, I remember I can see the flapperon and the engine under the wing. What I didn't know is I was sitting 2-3 seats away from the emergency exit infront (Might be sitting somewhere, at 32 or 33k) and as I'm moving further (even its little), I'll start to lose portion of my wing view. In this EVA air scenerio, I was sitting like in the middle of the last row of economy class and unlike my past flight in ANA at 2016, I couldn't see the engine under even I tried look close by leaning at the window (yes I did) and I don't think I saw the flapperon. Not to mention that I made simulation view by using FF 777-300er on X-plane 12, find the seat area (I remember I was sitting on the middle of the 2nd aft door) and the result proven to be true.

Brilliant trip report. Liked and subscribed. Not the soft landing that I'm used to on EVA AIR's flight :) The meals were tasty... I can listen to that beautiful GE90 start up many more times, love it.

I recommend you check out my previous eva air video. The engine is very loud because I'm very close to the wing.

I thought they usually fly this route with the 787? Or did they changed the planes now?

[@chayame21]

Yes, EVA uses the 787 on this route. It's just that I was assigned on this flight based on the booking website. The 787 flight was later after this flight departed. It arrived 1 hour after I landed on Seattle.
