EVA AIR 777 Business Class 🇹🇼⇢🇻🇳【4K Trip Report Taipei to Ho Chi Minh City】SOLID Product

[@ahmednassar5986]

I really can't get over how well-balanced, interesting, and well-spoken your reviews are. Without a doubt the best on KZbin IMO.

[@tfft]

Thanks very much, really appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@markdeitch3087]

I agree totally with this review. EVA has the best food & service in the air at this class. I love the seat & amenities, too. I can recommend the oolong tea, it's beautiful. The only let down for me was the IFE. Limited in comparison with the competition. I loved the food pre-order facility. I chose the lobster on my last flight and it was superb. I agree with your lounge comment. Oddly the BKK EVA lounge had good food but NO CHAMPAGNE! The truly great thing is that, as a Star Alliance airline, the opportunity to Lounge hop is hugely welcome and great fun!

[@tfft]

Yes and if you add in Priority Pass you’ll have like 13 lounge options at BKK. Insane. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Yours are the best travel reviews on KZbin. They are factual, professional and detailed, contain no personal hype, exaggerated drama or hysterics; unlike others who turn it into a theatrical production. A genuinely useful travel resource. Well done.

I have to disagree with you on the color palette. I love the dark green and beige combination. It fits well into the Evergreen concept and it looks sophisticated. I don't think it's a dated look. A lot of newer office designs are also adapting the beige/green combo for an oasis look.

[@tfft]

Did you see my other EVA video? Their 787s also have grey, beige and green cabins but in a much more updated and modern fashion. Their 777 cabins though look like they’re from decades ago.

[@loveaodai100]

Great video as always. I have flown this leg with EVA more than 50 times over the last 30 years always after the much longer New York to Taipei segment. EVA has and probably remains the quickest way to get to New York from Saigon and back. One can take the lunchtime flight on Friday from Saigon and be at home in New York before midnight the same day. EVA has always been proper with service performing as the say plus at least some. I reached diamond status for some years but after retirement got demoted as the flights decreased. My last flight on this segment was nearly four years ago. This is not due to using another carrier… its just that I have not been back to America in nearly four years. Anyway, the segment from Taipei to Saigon has always been fun and upbeat being a mere three hours morning flight after the very long NYC to Taipei and waiting. All the anticipation of getting home to the pets and back to my normal routines is rolled into this leg. Before you know it the flight is descending into Saigon and back home. In the early years… 747s were used for the segment and then 777s. To this day I have never flown on a 787 or A350. The older NYC flights also stopped at Anchorage then some years later began stopping at Seattle. Then at some point the flight would go direct from Taipei to New York (Newark in those days) but make a stop on the way back. Eventually the 777 flights became nonstop both ways. I travelled business class often but in those days they were not lie flat and I would try to find space on the floor to lie down being more comfortable on a hard flat surface then in a lounge position. After I retired about 13 years ago I would just buy economy seat from the sales office in Saigon where there was a wonderful agent who would arrange a seat in an empty row where I could lie down. She did that many times for me and I remain forever grateful to her. Although I have not flown with EVA for nearly four years I would assume the usual proper service. One a flight about five years ago the flight tracker had us within 50 miles of the north pole. On another flight due to an extreme tailwind our groundspeed was “supersonic” for a while. But the most interesting flight in happened to be the last flight in given an approaching typhoon. Our airspeed was down to about ninety knots before touching down given a very powerful headwind. That trip in was one of two occasions when I spent nights in Taipei given weather issues. EVA took very good care of us.

[@tfft]

Wow, lots of history for you with EVA! They certainly do have well timed connections to the east coast- the only airline (pre-Covid) which beat them was Air China at a combined 19h10m or so eastbound (…but it’s Air China 😂). Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

Very interesting to know how Starlux was created. I only focus in the service, so I rarely read about those stuff 😅 I agree with you about the business class seat. The ones on their regional flights are usually not as nice as on long-haul flights, but of course, those are still very good. I’m pretty sure that the economy seats are pretty much the same as their long-haul product. Having flown EVA in 2016, and I have to say I was very impressed with their economy seat. Really want to try them again in the future

Love how you added the history and recent transitions of EVA in the video! EVA's The Garden actl serves pretty good food imo - specifically the beef noodle soup. The only downside of that is you gotta be (or be with) a Diamond card holder to get in.

Excellent trip report as always Kevin! I will be flying EVA Air B787-10 on VIE-BKK in August, in economy though, and it'll actually be my first flight on a Dreamliner, really excited. Question: when will you be posting your #shorts review(s) and cruises, which I saw on community posts a while ago?

[@tfft]

At least one of the cruises will be edited in the coming weeks and posted soon after (interrupting the Thailand series). I've been just too busy to focus on a format for the cruise videos, but am forcing myself to do it this month since I actually just took another cruise lol. As for the #shorts... I follow a lot of other creators and I'm just not yet convinced (as I expected to be) that they are worth the effort at this point, so for them, unless proven valuable before then I probably won't get to them before the summer.

[@molnarmihaly951]

[@thomasmoore9421]

I think premium economy on a wide body should be a no brainer nowadays. If done right business class can be seen as first class & premium economy can be essentially business class. Not sure what they could do for economy, outside of having at least 34 inches of legroom and setback monitors across the whole cabin.

[@tfft]

For me it depends on the specific type of PE seat. Some of them are very restrictive around the knees to the point where I can’t cross my legs because of the very deep armrests- in which case I’d just prefer economy with an empty seat next to me (which I wish more carriers would allow you to buy tbh).

[@thomasmoore9421]
