EVA Air longhaul (TPAC) vs short haul flights within Asia
A colleague (and very close friend) and I have done, together, 10 TPAC flights with EVA Air just in 2018. Mostly for personal travel, some for work (for him). We both have noticed a serious decline in cabin attentiveness after "lights out" for TPAC flights, and crews that are mostly reactive (press the FA button for service, but otherwise they stay huddled in the galley). My experiences in 2018 for TPAC flights alone on EVA have been mediocre. Note: crews are friendly, but very passive. This was not my experience in years past, nor my friend's experience.
However, we both agreed that EVA flights from TPE onto Asian destinations (4 hour or so radius) have been staffed by incredibly attentive and friendly crew.
I wonder if others have experienced this?
