I'm interested in a business-class trip to Asia this fall, and looking at the EVA Air schedule, it appears that Seattle is slated for 3x weekly 777-300ER service to Taipei starting on August 7, 2014 (flight BR25 on Thursdays, Saturdays, Mondays). This runs the through the current end of schedule in December 2014. Is this aircraft type used as a placeholder, or is this the real deal? SEA is way more convenient for me than SFO or LAX, but I'd go the extra distance for guaranteed Royal Laurel service. Thoughts?

SEA continues to be a great cargo o/d market for BR, so unfortunately for us self-loading freight, we continue to see the 744. And that's fine for Elite and Coach, not great if you want RL.

Very excited to ride BR25 from SEA - TPE, then BR225 onwards to SIN, all on the 777.
Grabbed 2A/2D for myself and the fiance en route to our honeymoon.
On route home to SEA from SIN in early december, also checking out ANA's 787 in J.
Thanks *G. Looking forward to it! ^

This probably has to do with the new (3rd) 77A they just got delivered (did not see any news but it was supposed to be delivered in June). They are doing short hauls first before moving it to long haul.

IAH is no competition, CA is dominating so much/
