I have never flown either class before. Could anybody give comparison about the seats (footrest, armrest, incline), the AVOD (on demand?) and the inflight service?
Thai Premium Economy is $400 more expensive than the EVA, but then i can accumulate some Krisflyer miles and credit card points (where I live, EVA needs to be purchased cash).
I appreciate the inputs.
Thanks,

Overall, Thai has the better product:
- 42 inches of leg room (versus EVA's 38 in Prem Econ) allowing slightly more recline and more effective use of the legrest
- Smaller cabin on TG
- TG's cabin crews are usually nicer and friendlier than EVA's and also, it has been my experience that TG assigns more crew members than EVA so service on TG is usually much faster
- TG only offers Prem Economy on relatively new Airbus A340-500 aircraft, whereas on EVA, you might end up in an old 747 depending on the flight
