I have been following this thread and wondering what everyone is doing wrong because EVA simply cannot be so INcompetent and so customer UNfriendly. My apologies for having these thoughts because I am now caught in the same "Call back later" syndrome.
My husband and I have an intra-Asia flight (paid Royal Laurel class). My husband travels with a POC (portable oxygen concentrator). EVA's website had a form that requires a doctor's signature dated WITHIN 10 DAYS of the EVA flight. How is that possible when we will be traveling in Asia for three weeks before we take the EVA flight?
What will happen if we show up for the flight with the doctor's statement that is a month old? What if I can't contact EVA to submit the doctor's statement? I have copied and pasted part of the required doctor's statement relating to the POC. There is not even an address noted where I can mail the statement. Stymied and befuddled!
