London LHR to BKK Bangkok with EVA Airways REVIEW 2024. Problems With This Airline?

[@MrAirpearl]

On seat comfort, most airlines operating the B777 (including EVA) have increased seat density in economy to 10-abreast from 9-abreast. Thai Airways is one of the few airlines that hasn't (yet). So it's not your imagination that it's more spacious on Thai than EVA.

[@Swinn-FG]

That would be why then. Thanks for your comments

[@henryjoenguyen170]

EVA also has 9-abreast, but just not on this route

[@yichia1598]

Recently, I literally came back to Taiwan from LHR via flying EVA Air, and the experience was pretty great and comfortable. Even though this is my first trip alone to Europe since the pandemic occurred, I didn’t feel any panic or intense during this journey.

[@Swinn-FG]

Yes, I think they are good airline with good service! Glad you had a good trip! Thanks for watching

[@Dale555]

Enjoyed the video. I flew twice last year EVA to Bangkok , business & premium economy, it really is worth the extra money !

[@Swinn-FG]

Yes, premium economy seems good value! Thank you for watching, and your comments.

[@fortlast1843]

Yes just returned back with Eva and was very impressed with the food quality and staff service.

[@Swinn-FG]

Yes, good airline. Thanks for watching.

[@SBBoy68]

I have been traveling London-Bangkok for many years. Used to fly KLM, Thai-airways. I think the last fifteen years I have been flying EVA. My opinion fantastic airline. I have to admit I do go business class. Your experience looks very different to mine. Enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@Swinn-FG]

Looks like I need to step up my travel game and try out business class next time! Thanks for watching.

[@Go-cr2ip]

I went with EVA air once November 23 from Heathrow. Never again. I thought they gave crap service, staff ignored most of the paying people on the plane. Like it was beneath them to do anything.

[@Swinn-FG]

That's a shame! We found their service quite good.

[@jammiedodger629]

Descent starts approx 30 min out of the Destination - cruising altitude is around 36 - 37K feet, so more than 1000 feet per minute is perfectly normal. Although you didn't seem to enjoy the flight, I enjoyed the video !!. THAI do seem to have a better product these days, but they don't offer premium economy, which I prefer to fly as my 6 '2 frame struggles to fit in an economy seat. Great video, thanks for the upload.

[@Swinn-FG]

I did enjoy the flight really as I have always had a love aeroplanes! Thank you for watching, and your nice comments.

[@MrSumerOnTop]

Great review. Flying on them tomorrow. Thanks!

[@Swinn-FG]

Thanks for watching! I hope you had a pleasant flight.

[@frederickmarch4503]

Hi I've been watching a few of your uploads I'm going to Bangkok in a month's time, first time leaving from Heathrow with Thai airways direct flight. I've only been to Heathrow twice and the last time was 2009. Good upload very informative!

[@Swinn-FG]

Sounds exciting. Have a great trip. Thank you for watching

[@manosparavida3551]

I've flown with Thai Airways 80% of the time and always found them very acceptable. Food was good and delivered in a timely fashion, then swiftly collected when consumed. Except one time when I upgraded my return to business class and had to beg and prompt the stewardess for alcoholic beverages! I flew Eva Air on return journey last Jan and was mildly disappointed. But by far the worst was Jet Airways. Im actually glad they've pulled out of Heathrow since covid 19. Thanks for your review.

[@Swinn-FG]

Ah, the struggles of getting those alcoholic beverages Sometimes! EVA seem to have a better selection. Thank you for watching, and yuor comments.

[@manosparavida3551]

@@Swinn-FG My point was I'd upgraded to business class to the tune of £645 after I'd already paid £1070 for a economy class return flight and had zero problem getting a drink going out, yet had to beg on the return journey after an expensive upgrade. Also this was in May 2010, way before any phony virus. Also forgot to say I flew with Qatar Airways in May-June '23 for a paltry £631, with the only drawback being a 1hr 50min layover, as opposed to a Thai direct of 12hrs. But the saving paid for my hotel for 3 weeks. Result!👍

Thank you Swinn. That was brilliant as always and must look out for the oldies channel through the airport next time. According to my other half i must be an old fart now as i`m listening to Boom radio in uk. 😊. Hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday.

I booked my Parents and I on Korean Air from SFO to BKK and Phillipine Air from Viet Nam to SFO as well as Viet Nam Air to Vietnam. We're staying in Jontien and tour of Viet Nam. We paid $1019 r/t. Korean Air has automated checkin.

[@Swinn-FG]

That price seems good. I hope you and your parents have a great trip!

[@Swinn-FG]

A bit too long for me I think. Have a grear trip!

[@Stephen-Steven-Stephens]

Good one mate! When I fly EVA I book Lounge access. Last time they had excellent cauliflower cheese and freshly warmed bread rolls all washed down with a couple of glasses of Rioja! Well worth the money but I suggest not to fly on a Sunday. I also pre-booked Seafood meals on both legs and every meal was excellent!!!

[@Swinn-FG]

Flying high with cauliflower cheese and Rioja-now that's a classy way to travel! Thanks for the tip about avoiding Sundays. Thanks for sharing

[@malcolmcrick4071]

I came out on Eva, my first choice years ago but not anymore but like most of us it's all down to cost, I'm traveling next month with China eastern so I'll wait and see, I have sadly got to rtn to the UK in June with Eva, Thai air has just got to costly for me, sadly.

[@Swinn-FG]

I looked at China but the stopovers were simply too long at the time.

[@cabovermike]

Loving these flight videos , i think the trick is dont drink to much while waiting or during the flight, and go to the toilet just before boarding, i only have a boots meal deal (only available at boots near the departure gates), the big boots in T2 waiting area seems to have been aquired by london pride pub, !, a cheese & ham sandwich a pkt crisps plus a red bull sees me through to boarding , once on board, complementary orange juice and a couple of cans of beer plus a white wine and a couple of coffees (with meals) sees me through 12 hour flight with only one or two max pee breaks, some say alcohol and flights dont mix, but 2 tins of beer and a couple white wines has never made me "kick off" during a flight, usually the opposite, knocks me out for a few hours usually, i cant wait to play the 70+ fast track card, although my top tip is if the 1st immigration Q is long, keep walking a few yards and there is a 2nd immigration Q, usually a lot less busy than the 1st Q, worked a few times for me to,.

Are Eva direct flights to Bangkok normally full?

[@rjhatch]

What do you prefer to fly from LHR to Bkk - Thai Airways or EVA Ariways? And why? Thanks!

[@Swinn-FG]

The little more seat width with Thai might have tipped the balace, but then the inflight service and food was really good with EVA. 50:50

[@JohnMitch]

Being a prerson of 188cm I could never fly long haul in economy torture class, I'll will spend the extra for business class comfort

[@Swinn-FG]

Business Class is certaily better! Thanks for watching

[@martinwilliamson4263]

Interesting check in issues. I had the same problem at bag check in recently. I hope Eva can sort it out as it seems to be a Heathrow airport rather than Eva.

Everybody told me to fly on Emirates, so I did. Dublin to Dubai and Dubai to Bangkok. Dublin flight was awful, I must have got the worst seat ever. My arse still hasn't recovered. Coming home, Bangkok to Dubai on A380, I had to use 6 cushions to sit on, seat was really hard.

[@Swinn-FG]

Sorry to hear this, it is long old flight if your seat is uncomrtable. I found the economy seat upstairs are better. Window seat only 2 across.

[@RichardAlsop-np2nr]

How was the cost ,? Reasonable

[@Swinn-FG]

The price was not much different from Thai - about £800. But you can carry more luggage

[@mellow6711]

Alright mate what seat was you in?

[@Swinn-FG]

Not sure as I write. I think it was 55 window

[@grahamjohnson4702]

I personally could not stand a 12 hour flight I much prefer the half and half flights that Emirates and Qatar among others do. On another point can you increase the volume you record at as I found it a strain to have to listen to you and missed some parts because of it, not much good if people can't hear you.

Eva spraying chemicals on guests Does anyone know what toxins these are

[@Swinn-FG]

The trouble is, if you want to fly to far-off places we have to accept these sort of things. I have been flying to Thailand for many years and all airlines seem to use the spray. This is the official line: Airlines spray a non-harmful insecticide in airplane cabins to eliminate insects and prevent the spread of diseases like malaria, Zika, and yellow fever. The spraying process involves using an insecticide approved by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Before Covid at least they were great. Flew them last year in Business on the Bangkok-Heathrow route and found them really problematic. Service on board is great ; customer service in Bangkok : non-existent. Dozens of calls ( literally ) to their hotlines produced not a single pick up. Emails unanswered, not ever. No chat line. I needed to find out my mileage membership number - impossible. Mont Python level stupidity. Ok, it's not the end of the world, but if I am paying $4000 for a plane ticket I would like some ground support please. Not NOTHING. Not acceptable at all. So, flight was nice except for one thing. We arrived in London at around 8 pm. What was the arrival meal, you ask? Breakfast. That's right, cereals, toast, scrambled eggs, breakfast food. Basically some moronic bureaucrat in Taipei planned it all out and decided that in Business class they would serve cereal and orange juice at 8pm. The hostesses seemed confused at the loud complaints all round. I guess on some level it was quite funny. But then again, if you're paying four grand for that it's not so funny. On some level they have descended into basic incompetence or just contempt for their customers. I don't know.
