I've travelled with EVA multiple times in Economy and Premium Economy, and always enjoyed my flights. The product is very good, and the crew are hard to fault.
In January, I'm going to Bangkok with Eva... I have a big bag in the hold and I'd like to take 1 bag and a backpack on the plane. Is that possible?
@@carmenkovacs Only 1 piece of hand carry in Economy, but the Crew are usually very good, as long as its not a massive hiking backpack. Worst thing they can do is ask you to put it in the Hold, it'll go with the pushchairs etc so will be waiting by the door as you come out of the Aircraft onto the air bridge.
for example, I check in my bags and have another smaller sports bag packed into my hand carry for duty free. They never say anything when I board carrying 2 bags.
They actually allow you to put 2x 23 kilo bags in the hold too.
@@alexslater4185 that's good to know Alex, cheers for the info mate.
As far as my experience flying long haul with American, Canadian, European, and Asian airlines, nothing can beat Asian airlines in the quality, the amount of food and the efficiency of service.
not just European airlines that serve a piece of bread for their breakfast, Air Canada too, I was very disappointed with Air Canada’s service and food. I love flying EVA, ANA, Cathay Pacific, JAL, PAL, Korean Air, Asiana, food and service are excellent!
Thanks for this video❤
You should do project sunrise (London-Sydney, NY/Newark-Sydney) when it comes out. The fruits of that trip report will be insurmountable. Imagine the views!
Absolutely! No question about it! :) And doing in in Economy Class, as I always do hahaha...
@@simply_aviation you might need disability after that
@@simply_aviation that’s why you’re the people champ.
This intro was fantastic! It’s a great example of how you keep adding interesting new content to your videos, and is one of the main reasons why I’ve continued watching this channel longer than any other that does trip reports
Economy class of this EVA Air B787-10 is surprisingly good! I guess flying 10 hours to Bangkok wasn’t that tiring. Would be nice to see a tripreport about EVA Air business class in the future! Thanks to Simply Aviation and personally to David for another wonderful video 👍
I believe they have already done tripreports in EVA Air business in the past.
Twice actually! :) Here's the video about Business Class on EVA Air's Boeing 777-300ER: ruclips.net/video/2nv6Bekxy48/видео.html
And here about their Boeing 787-9: ruclips.net/video/qQ6r0g-FwdQ/видео.html

I just flew EVA again on their 787-9 / 787-10 / 77W all with 9-abreast Y. Pick the 77W it's the champ when it comes to personal space for both seat pitch and seat width. It trumps the 787s any day.
I love EVA Air. Who's with me?
You're not alone
Me surely
Me too
@Threphics Why?
Me, because chinese girl
I flew on EVA many years ago LAX to MNL via TPE on their Evergreen Deluxe class on board their 747-400. It was one of my best long-haul trips.
I think my first EVA flight was on that one too; & in fact it was one of the rare Combi 747s too!
fun fact: Evergreen deluxe was industry’s first “premium economy” offering.
Wow! Am very impressed with EVA Air and the service they offer. Would love to fly with them someday, great work David.
Definitely, I appreciate cadence of videos releasing! 1-2 times a week is best. Thank you! 😀
Love the thoughtful tips! Everyone gets a better experience when people do this kind of things… Congrats! 👏🏼
Thanks David for an informative video. I sampled EVA Air in 1992 when it routed LGW-VIE-BKK with B747-400. I was lucky to be booed in premium economy which at that time was in zone A and J class when I returned home and that was on the 747's upper deck. However the reason for EVA Air operating to TPE via BKK was nothing to do with aircraft range. It was simply because *at that time* Taiwanese airlines were not permitted to overfly mainland China for obvious reasons. I mean other European carriers would fly to HKG non-stop with the B747-400 as they could overfly mainland China. TPE is just a few hundred miles further than HKG. Even today EVA Air routes LON-TPE via BKK. It finds it can attract many UK leisure travellers for the LON-BKK sector and it also offers keen fares. From London it only faces non-stop competition from TG as BA continues to suspend its BKK service.
You are right. Could not overfly Mainland China, and their original B767s and eventually 744s could not make it to Europe non-stop. Similarly China Airlines' (Not Air China!!!) flight to FCO used to stop in the Middle East for the same reason. Also everyone calls them "Eva Air" so don't worry about it :)
Yes and thank you. It could be that when David spoke with Eva Air it did not tell him the full story. From my own experience dealing with Eva Air in London in the 1990s the staff were not forthcoming about such matters. Later of course these Taiwanese airlines did gain China overflying rights. But I do not know what the current situation is as both nations have become hostile to one another.
THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING EVA!! I HAVE A FLIGHT TO BANGKOK THIS WERK AND I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH
Absolutely fantastic video David, EVA Air always looks great!😸
I flew their A321 and A330. Both superb flights and excellent service. Couldn’t fault them. Great review!
Traveling on Eva air is on my bucket list for sure. Your Brutally Honest series is the best and cannot be topped!❤️👍✈️
Mine too, especially on the Boeing 787
Always love watching these simple flying reviews.
Nothing beats your Brutally Honest series, it’s amazing!
Eva Air 🤩🇹🇼
Great video as well
Really nice review and kinda useful to me since my normal flight from Taipei to Paris in a month got rescheduled so now I will probably use this connection via Bangkok and Vienna. Looking forward to more Brutally Honest episodes!
Amazing vedio! One of the best yet this year!
thank you so much. really enjoyed this trip x
Thanks for this. I'm flying Bangkok to London next week - my first flight in three years - and it's great to get a picture of what to expect. It looks like there are no covid restrictions too, which is nice.
I love Brutally Honest keep it up!
Taking that exact flight in a few months, this video makes me even more excited
From my very first EVA flight from Singapore to USA via Taipei years years ago to my regional Singapore to Taipei flights EVA never fails to be a good airline despite me being a Singaporean and of course our airline Singapore Airlines... I still fly them because they are also cheaper and at times even better!
The view of the lounge looks really good!
I've also fown EVA Air in Sept 2022 from YVR to BKK via TPE, and I pretty much agree with your assessment. Its economy class product is first rate. Great seats, tasty meals, and attentive crew. Even a short 3 hour flight between TPE and BKK includes a full hot meal. The only thing I'll nitpick is the limited selections of movies and tv shows from the IFE. Because of my itinerary, I got to experience their B789, as well as both configurations of their B77W. Their economy class have 9 or 10 seats per row depending on the plane. The 10 seats variant is a bit cramped and it would suck flying long haul in it. I personally prefer the 787 simply because the plane is newer and the seats are slightly better. Too bad they don't offer premium economy on their dreamliners.
As for the advance seat selection, it's free for the more expensive booking class. For the cheaper booking classes, there are charges but it varies depending on which seat you take. Generally, the more forward the seat is in the cabin, the more expensive it'll be.
I've travelled with EVA back in March 2019 from Vienna to Taipei and back in there 777 business class. even though it wasn't the brand new 787 cabin it was one of best travel experiences I've ever had. really enjoyed it and i hope i can experience there dreamliner soon
Love Eva they are the best, flew with them a lot when I visited Asia. Great review as always !
eva air is my go to airline when going back home to manila from san francisco. i love flying with them because they offered low fares (pre pandemic), their lay overs on both flights are relatively short (2 hours going to manila and 5 hours going back to san francisco), the flight to manila leaves sfo at around past midnight and arrives in taipei at 8-ish in the morning, and the fact that the flight from taipei to manila is only an hour away. all of my flights with them have been with the 777. haven't flown with them recently so haven't had a chance to ride their 787.
Great video. Thank you very much. We are heading to travel again to Bangkok next spring time in 2023 and we consider to fly with EVA from Vienna.
Now it s on our list for the favourite airlines👍🙏
Your video quality is great! Especially the intro animated maps. Keep up the good work. You should get your own channel.
Explanation is immaculate.. Thank you
(1) Taiwan is a country consisting of 4 island groups. (2) All snacks are Taiwanese, not Japanese.
Great review, thanks for sharing.
Wir folgen dir schon seit geraumer Zeit und haben erst jetzt gemerkt, dass du ebenfalls aus Österreich und möglicherweise auch aus Wien, so wie wir, kommst? Witzig, die Welt ist klein.... 🙂 Danke für dieses tolle Video, es hat uns tolle Einblicke gegeben. Wir fliegen mit diesem Flugzeug von unserer Honeymoon Reise Anfang Juni 2023 von Bangkok zurück nach Wien. Freuen uns schon sehr auf die gesamte Reise und dank der Airline sogar auf den Rückflug.
Weiter so, freuen uns auf weitere Videos 🙂
Absolutely love Eva, Toronto to Thailand, BKK and CNX, just booked another one for December 1, can't wait. Excellent service imo.
One of the nicer aviation reviewers 🙏 Kudos brother. Love the work.
Flying them in business next year and super excited! Economy already looks stunning!
Fantastic review 😁
Brutally honest is the best
Excellent as always !
Your VDO is full of accurate information. I worked with EVA as FA in 2008. OZ and QR now. Whatever you say in the clip is sincerely true. Keep it up for this genuine reviews. Good for consumers!
Wow awesome thanks fo4 all that information, great flight
Hello David! After watching few episodes of new and updated BH series, have to say you came a long way in improving the video content from simple trip reports. Always making a level up and bringing the channel forward. Yet I have to say - I miss the expectations from BH videos. That made you different vs other air bloggers - it does not have to be viewers expectations, but at least yours. I think it would be still adding to the content.
Love EVA AIR !! Super!!
I love EVA flew them back in 2015 LAX-TPE-LAX in business. I felt like every time I was served it was a different flight attendant. Everything about the flight was super pleasant.
One note about the veggie option, I am actually for their approach. If anyone has special meal needs, I’d rather they arrange for it during booking than me being the one having to settle with a veggie option because the other options run out. It happens a lot and most of the veggie meals I end up not liking.
Thanks for the insight on how life is like on EVA Air from Europe to Bangkok. When you mentioned that your dinner could easily equal to a premium economy class meal, I really felt that SQ should be serving a different menu in PEY and not the same one in both PEY and EY. Nonetheless, EVA’s service is very nice and courteous unlike most Western carriers.
EVA is absolutely fantastic! Flown wih them a couple of times, definitely among the good Asian carriers such as Cathay Pacific, SIngapore Airlines, etc.
On seat selection cost, it really depends on the class of economy you choose from. I just booked a BR flight and it included free seat selection on "regular" economy seats. Exit row and front part of the economy cabin still cost extras. But then, it's the mid-tier fare and not the cheapest one to choose from.
your Videos are always appreciated
Eva is always my top choices. Sometimes, I even make detours to fit my trip into Eva’s route network so I can enjoy their impeccable services.❤
Love the tip to use the blanket bag to tidy up and make the cleaner job easier! Nice flight review too, I'll definitely consider EVA for my next long haul trip to North America.
EVA looks like they provide kind of "old fashioned" early 21st Century style service but with obviously modern elements like good IFE. But surprised not to see a Premium Economy cabin considering EVA Air I believe more or less invented PE. Also, Im no film critic but I feel you guys trip reports are getting better and better, very smooth and professionally done. Enjoyed this one a lot!
I totally agree, also not sure about why there's no PE product on the aircraft. It's a shame really, as the PE product is very good indeed, although prices are now higher for it.
Love the new opening graphics!
I love the new Brutally Honest concept!
Been wanting EVA for so long. Thanks for #BrutuallyHonest
I once flew them in Business to our honeymoon to Bali via Taipeh... With a free overnight stay provided by EVA as the connection flight only left one day later... The long haul service was via BKK on an A330... The service was top notch and I would love to fly them again
Also appreciate your tip at the end about putting trash in the blanket wrapper. Shows you are a considerate person
Great flight. The power of Fifth Freedom of Flight, and EVA Air optimizing it.
No wonder they consistently rank top 10 in the world, no matter by which organization! 🤩🤩🤩
I have flown EVA to Bangkok many times over the years, I first used them as, what I thought, a cheaper alternative to Thai Airways and other airlines, and as I have never liked the idea of indirect flights on long hual journeys, offering very competitive pricing for direct. Apart from the cost of the flight being a less expensive than EVA Air's competitors, everything else, from the service EVA provided at booking to the facilities, food & service on their flights have been first class.
I recently had the pleasure of flying with EVA Air recently, now the Covid-19 restrictions are thankfully being lifted, and once again EVA Air lived up to my expectations. It's just a shame that some price increases for seats and baggage pricing etc are beginning to creep into the costing. However, still a first-class airline with excellent staff and crew.
Glad to see there is no cost-cutting from my last EVA trip, despite the current challenging business environment.
My mom just flew on one of EVA’s 787-10 from Seattle to Taipei and said that airline onboard service in general has declined recently, and EVA which has been known for outstanding service is no exception.
Thanks for this video. I am bound to travel on this exact route in a few weeks and was looking for a proper EVA air economy review on 787.
The meals look amazing!
We'll fly to Japan via Taiwan with Eva Air this autumn, and was surprised to see this video, which covers exactly what we need and it's even from Vienna, were we start our own journey :D
Recently flew from London to BKK, I totally concur with the review. Very clean and motivated cabin crew. According to my Taiwanese mate, EVA air screens and only hires pretty Cabin crew members ……
Flying with them for my graduation present to myself. Houston to Thailand! I am glad to know about the great reviews
I flew EVA AIR from TPE - US and it was so nice!
The Chinese name of EVA AIR is 長榮航空
Also if the fly is late they will give you snake well you are waiting in the air port !
Great trip report
My first time watching ypur channel . Congratulations very objective view of service , equipment and airline. That's what we want .
I 've just missed in the review some comments about drinks, wines, beers and possible after meal licour like a Baileys , which I love on my flights.
This flight looks better than the SIA flight I just took. I was on SQ 35 nonstop from LAX to SIN. It was 16 hours of bad and bad. Economy seat, not impressive choices on IFE and the food was small and average. Two small meals(smaller than the EVA meal you just showed). No pre-meal service and the snacks were Kit Kat candy, some crackers and if you were lucky a banana. After 10 years of loyalty I will now fly with ANA or EVA. ANA has a big sale ongoing and a roundtrip from Bangkok to LAX with a stop in NRT is now $760. Thanks for the detailed review.
Thanks for the review was thinking of taking SQ 35 now maybe I will think again 🤔thanks J
@@sibua69 Three words: ANA.
My mother flew EVA Air from Taipei to LA before COVID. The vegetarian food was the best there - would encourage all to try. And as you have stated in your thumbnail, everything done right!
I love Eva Air. One of the best airlines in the world. The premium seat is best.
I've rode on EVA air when I first visited Cambodia back in May 2014.
Thanks for the Great video,i Will fly with eva in december.
Fantastic Video thanks
They are my most favourite airline ❤
Yes! NEW Brutally honest episode, come on!
In 2014 we flew Econ on an intra Asia. flight. They had a platoon of great flight attendants. The number of flight attendants makes a big difference. The food was great. Still remember the flight.
Great review, FYI - this week I booked economy Bangkok-Brisbane (via Taiwan) for Jan 23 and was able to select seats free of charge
I’ve always heard good things about EVA and I’d love to travel to Asia one day. Thanks for the review.
I flew with EVA on this plane from Bangkok to Taiwan 2 weeks ago. Superb seats, service, food, and entertainment. The return journey was on an older 777, and whilst still good, it was a notable downgrade from the 787. I've previously flown in EVA Royal Laurel, which is superb, but the 787 economy is so good I'm not sure I'd pay for business class on this plane. I was able to pre-book my seats free; perhaps because I'm a member of the EVA infinity club. Regarding the vegetarian meal option, this has to be pre-booked at least 24 hours before the flight. This also gave me access to the longes at Bangkok and Taipei, and whilst the Bangkok lounge was good, the one in Taipei was disappointing with a far more limited range of food. Overall, highly recommended.
yes, I think Thailand and Taiwan have Air Service Agreement, to exchange each designated airlines can carry passengers on 5th freedom traffic right route, point beyond, and now more Thai choice EVA Airlines for their travels as well as EVA Airline also have Thai Crew operating onboard aircraft
A very good review. Thank you 👍. Vienna can be a good option to fly from Europe to Thailand, if less crowded. Plus this new connection too seems to be good value for money.
I am a proud Taiwanese and love EVA AIR!!
GO TAIWAN!
I think those were the best-looking airline meals I have ever seen in any flight review.
The food portion is actually big and looks good too!
I noticed all these tests show the leg space, but I never heard about shoulder width if you get enough space between you and your neighbour.
Evergreen used to have an air charter arm, called Evergreen Airlines. I flew in an Everygreen Airlines L1011 from Misawa Air Base to St. Louis, as part of the "Freedom Bird" to my first stateside assignment.
Useful info , thanks
We did fly from Vancouver to Taiwan on EVA air2018 seat wear tight then . I am a small person and economy was tight. Taipan to Bangkok was heavenly like 1.class.
I would take them again but use Economy plus.
I often choose EVA for my flight from LAX-SGN. Done it 3 times already in Economy and the service, food, and aircraft is very nice. Soon EVA will let you upgrade meal for reasonable price if flying out of Taiwan. Next summer I will fly with EVA again but with their Royal Laurel and the experience from what I read is gonna be superb. I kinda wish if they fly their 787-9 on LAX to TPE route instead of 777-300ER
I have not fly with the B787-10 jet.I like the cabin.Great work
Yip agree top class airline , flew them 2003 from london on their 747-400 , service food and legroom excellent ....
Flying with EVA in December! YYZ -
TPE. Looking forward to it already! This will be my third flight with them on the same route. Flying with B 777ER though.
3:34 Wow that is great
EVA air is definitely a great airline, whenver I go to taiwan, I take the whopping 15 hour redeye from jfk to tpe! (takes 13 hours on the way back) and in my opinion, they are absolutely fantastic. They offer a solid eco class product and dont compromise as much as oher airlines do.
This brings me back to my childhood. I haven't flown with EVA Air in like twenty years lol.
I've flown EVA in Econ and is Biz and they are the best for sure
