Flight Info in Description ⬆️ (did you know EVA Air is pronounced ‘eee•vee•ayy’) And apparently I didn’t know that at the time of editing this… 😮 😑😬 | For those of you wondering what I was talking about at the start of the video, (about me getting on this flight as a miracle) I didn’t end up making of video about it. But, essentially what happened is that my original flight to Tokyo on United Airlines was cancelled and I was able to book this flight to Tokyo through Taipei at the last minute… It’s a longer story than that but that was essentially what happened in a sentence
Flight review I "never asked for?" I think not, this is PERFECT, thank you. This is my exact itinerary and I'm nervous about it (economy class, long haul, etc.) Anyway, thank you.
Haha, thanks for the kind comment! You have nothing to worry about at all, EVA Air is a great airline with great service with no hassle, as you’ve seen in the review. Have a great trip!
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful. And about the in-flight food service. When flying, the human tastebuds make food taste bland when you are in the high in air which is why you feel like it tastes bad so that is normal for flying
If you’re talking about my socks, these are just regular ‘ol Nike Elite socks. I got them many years back though, so I don’t know if they still sell the exact ones, but there are many like them available online. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for watching and commenting AND subscribing!!!! I actually film my videos on my iPhone and edit them on the “Splice” app. (It’s on the App Store and Google Play) Hope this helps!
Yes, the seats in premium economy are wider and more comfortable and they are in a 2-4-2 configuration, meaning that there is no middle seat in the rows with windows. Hope this helps!
Literally here because I’m going back to Taiwan 🇹🇼 and I’m grabbing an Economy seat on Eva air. I visited in business class few years ago and let me tell you something it was amazing but not 8k amazing. Kinda hard to go backwards, But I’ll spend some of that money on a nice hotel.
Awesome! Taiwan is great, visited there in 2018, and I loved it! Yeah, 8K for business class is not really too worth it (especially if you could just spend that on a nice hotel anyway) Glad you stopped by to watch my video and took time to comment!
According to the EVA Air Website, you get 30mins of complementary web browsing, (which is absolutely nothing on a 15hr flight) but even when I tried to use that, it didn’t seem to work well. You’re gonna have to be stuck with the In Flight Entertainment or the Pre-Downloaded Content on your device. Thanks for the comment!
@@cs77smith67 No, from my experience the complementary WiFi didn’t seem to support any of that, though you can buy WiFi onboard for browsing the internet
@@Planes_Games okay I see well I might just travel with them anyway and just test it out thank you so much for your reply. I'm going to the 🇵🇭 Philippines in Thailand 🇹🇭 next month God willing
@@cs77smith67 Yeah! Go right ahead! It may be different now that it has been a couple of months. Thanks for the thanks, and have a great time on your travels!
Hey man, sorry for the late response, and thanks for the kind comment! So for this flight, every economy class fare offers seat selection, either for a fee or included in the cost. In Economy Up, all economy seats are complementary, in Eco Standard, some seats (but not all) are complementary, and Eco Basic and Eco Discount both offer seat selection for a fee. I booked the EVA Air Economy Basic, so the seat selection was included for a fee. I decided not to pay a fee to book the seat in advance, so they gave me a seat when I got to check-in at the airport, which luckily was a good seat (47H). Thanks for the comment again!
Great video, I am about to try their Economy Basic cause I am flying alone. So, for the economy basic, they will assign a seat for you at the airport right? So, that mean most likely they will assign you some place way back and most likely the middle seat between the window and aisle? Just wondering is that the case....
Yes, for the economy basic they will assign you a seat at check in. Since most of the “good” seats would have been taken by the economy passengers that payed a premium to select their seats in advance, let’s just say, you’d be left with a less than ideal seat (which could be the middle seat of the middle section of the last row of the plane 😬). I flew economy basic on this flight, and since I got booked this flight relatively late, I was sad and annoyed (but not surprised) when I looked at my boarding pass and saw seat 71E (which conveniently was the middle seat of the last row of the plane 😬😭😂). Knowing I wouldn’t survive 15hrs and 30mins in that seat, I asked if there were any other seats to sit in… THANKFULLY, there was a no-show in seat 47H where I then sat for this flight review. But, definitely don’t count on there to be a no show in a “good” seat if you get a bad seat selected at check in. In my opinion, go for Economy Standard or Economy Up and select your seat in advance. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I’ve flown EVA Toronto-Taipei-Manila twice last year - in economy and isle seats (chosen deliberately by me every time - easy washroom access and less claustrophobic lol . Every meal I had was fantastic - possibly that I’m always hungry. EVA air service was great better than PAL that I flew on 2 years prior .
Hey, thanks for watching! EVA Air had extremely nice check in staff that weren’t extremely strict. One person’s bag was about 1-2 pounds overweight, but they didn’t seem to care that much. Hope this helps!
Last year, I flew EVA Air from Houston to Taipei to Manila. There was a good food selection and movies to watch. Also, one of the flight attendants spoke Chinese to me, but I didn't understand.
You are supposed to eat the fish floss with the congee and not with the ham and mushroom frittata so yeah that’s why it was disgusting Edit: Tyyyyy for hearting this comment I watched this video since I was going to Taipei on Eva Air (YVR-TPE)
It was an amazing experience and flight. Not going to lie, the hard product is the exact same as other long haul economy class (with the exception of small things) but the service is what sets it apart. Top notch!
It’s just the pre-landing video explaining the arrival, customs, and immigration process. Every flight coming in internationally to Taiwan plays this same pre-landing video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I do not, unfortunately. I tried looking online for a bit but couldn’t find the exact one. Maybe you can check as well, to see if you get different results though.
@@ehpaw6190 I don’t think you have to contact the airline directly, though you should be able to select/manage your seat in the EVA Air website. After booking your flight, Visit evaair.com > Find the 3 Dashes on the Top Left > Scroll to ‘Manage Your Trip’ > Select ‘Seat Selection’ > Enter Your Booking Reference and you should be able to pick your seat. Mind you, some (or all, I don’t actually know) of the seats for selection may be for an extra fee. Hope this helps!!
I'm flying with Eva Air to Thailand (stopping in Taipei first). On their site it says 15lbs is the limit for carry-on luggage. Are they strict on that? That's a low weight compared to usual flight. Also, do you happen to know if I can bring my gaming laptop?
I would say they are strict on that carry on weight. They've weighed my carry on before. But they only weigh at check in. You can leave things out and stuff them in after 😂
At check in, there are length and width requirements for carry ons, though they didn’t seem to enforce the requirements that much… hope this helps 🤞(edit: I forgot to add that they do weigh the bags and the limit is 50lbs)
@@RyanKristofferson For the bags you are checking, the size doesn’t matter. For the bags you carry on to the plane however, they need to be at *most* 15lbs/7kgs and need the maximum dimensions are 23cm of length, 56cm of height and 36cm of width. *(If You Want More Info From the EVA Air Website, Google: “EVA Air Carry-On Weight”)* Since those numbers can be confusing, at the Check-In Counters, there are bins where you can measure your luggage to see if it fits these dimensions. Though, I personally think that if your bag is overweight or oversized by a bit, you can get away with it, especially since they didn’t seem to enforce the measurements and weight for carry-ons too much. (Unless it was blatantly obvious that the bag was too big to carry on).
@@susieopana527 It was great! I think that as the video shows, EVA is top tier and there is nothing really bad about this experience, and there was not much in the sense of tips that could improve your experience. With that said, here is one tip to make this experience even better. Pay a little extra for advanced seat selection so you can get the seat YOU want instead of what they offer you at check in (which can be a bad seat) it’s a 15 hour flight, and you wouldn’t want to sit in the middle seat of row 72, now would you? Thanks for watching and commenting though, and have a great flight this spring!
Yes! You are totally right, it’s just not for me but I’m sure others like you love it! Yeah, im sure EVA Air has great food but I can say that the chicken breast is definitely not one of their forte’s. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Everyone is sooooooo opinionated. I’ve watched a ton of reviews and videos. And IMHO EVA AIR is in a higher caliber than united, than Philippine airlines at least
what you dont like is your problem. dont standardise it to everyone if you are making a constructive opinion. You dont like this and that does not mean the underlying is bad - just bad for you!

I ALWAYS take EVA Air when traveling to Asia .. Top Notch
I agree! Totally top notch!
Also great vaule too just flew with them they are awesome.
I have flown with EVA AIR many times and have not been disappointed. The pricing, plane, staff, flight, and food was good. Many Thanks, EVA AIR!
Absolutely agree! And many thanks to you for watching!
FYI the fish floss was suppose to go into the congee. It’s a topping, not standalone snack
Ohhhh…. No wonder! I’d need to try the fish floss and congee together then!
Thank You for the review. I just booked a flight with EVA Air for April 2025 !!! Going to Thailand.
Of course! Have a great time!

Is air france lounge included in eva air economy?
It is not. I was able to get in because of my Priority Pass

isle seats are GREAT on long flights!!! bigger legroom and easier access to the isle (obviously)
@@Anthony-n5t I figured that out today!
It is service that sets them apart tbh… even in business class or economy they are highly professional
That’s totally true. Economy hard products are all basically the same so the service is what differentiates the great economy from the “okay” economy
Ana and Eva my opinion is the best
Totally Agree! Asian Carriers are Top Notch!
How was that 2x2 seat you were in?
