Eva Air Booking Issue
Hello FTers,
I need to book my sister on an Eva Air ticket in Premium Economy for the following:
YYZ-TPE-CGK on Apr 8
CGK-TPE-YVR-YYZ on Apr 18
Need to connect via Vancouver on the inbound leg because she doesn't want to stay over in TPE (if flying direct TPE-YYZ). The Eva Air website doesn't support this booking because they don't fly YVR-YYZ and cannot do partner airline bookings.
I have tried the big online booking websites like Expedia/Kayak but they were unsuccessful.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You've tried this in Premium Economy? Because I already tried that and yielded nada. I've also called Eva and said they can't help.

Most online TA will not be able to price mix class trip. Since BR does not provide PE intra-asia, online TA will not find anything.
If you insist doing it online, fly CX like someone suggested above or buy the YVR to YYZ ticket separately which likely to cost more.
Or try book a ticket for EVA in all Y from online TA, then call the online TA to change your booking to PE. If they said no, call EVA. If all fail, refund your ticket in 24 hours for no penalty.

Thanks everyone. My sister consistently flies PEY TPE-CGK-TPE. I'm guessing this was by luck if she gets the Boeing plane. If it's the Airbus then no PEY.

Because PRC citizens can transit through TPE only if they're departing from one of three cities (Chongqing, Kunming, and Nanchang) and they're likely assuming that if you're booking a flight from Mainland China to anywhere beyond Taiwan then you're probably a PRC passport holder.
