Does EVA do gate upgrades to Royal Laurel? and is it worth it? We are booked T class BR009 PE 22H/K, YVR - TPE and then TPE- DPS in Royal Laurel on A330 7H/K. I messed up booking the proper fare to be able to upgrade with star alliance on 1st leg but was able to on 2nd. I see 9 & 11 D/G are still open. 4.5 days away. Will be our 1st long haul flight so not sure what to expect.
