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?
I have been flying BR at least 3 times in RL a year from SFO to China/Singapore.
My experience at least since 2006 is that red eye flight BR attendant simply disappeared after lights out post dinner service. Usually dinner service on BR17 usually quiet rushed. But I really didn’t mind since I usually passed out after wine and dinner.
Back in 2016, because I booked late and ended up taking BR5 out of LAX. The service was quiet different and that I was first time I saw an EVA Air meal cart. Service was quiet attentive.
I think it’s normal for red eye out of US. And personally I prefer they don’t walk around and wake me up. I prefer my sleep.
