Lots about the new Eva's Royal Laurel but how are the old Business seats for planes not converted. I am looking at BBK - VIE flight and can't find any pictures how the seats are setup. Angle flat means what and how is the service different from 77N flights? Should I do the BBK-AMS and then VIE, is it worth the extra flight? Anyone flew the"old" planes to compare?

Does anyone know how far out BR is releasing award seats? Planning to fly YYZ-TPE-HAN next fall on a AE ticket, and would like to get it booked before the increase in the new year.

Does the Aeroplan website indicate the numbers of days in advance, or is this just a 'try every day and see what is available' comment.
If the latter, I think I could get better information and experiences here. If the former, I apologies for reading this a wasted comment.

Pretty much mirrors my thoughts earlier in the summer when I took BR. Fast forward to now and I have 2 J tix booked for lezz than AC Z. Even if BR was up to 20% more than AC, I wouldn't have hesitated to go with BR.

We flew BR, revenue Z, YYZ-TPE-YVR, last summer, and even though the YVR flight was their old business class (premium laurel, not royal, silly names), we appreciated the quality of service. Especially since my wife broke her leg in Taiwan and needed special assistance. The on-board special assistance was very good. Like, bringing the on-board wheelchair whenever she needed to go to the washroom.

Can anyone comment on the connecting experience in TPE?
I have a couple of flights coming up on EVA with what appear to be relatively tight connections (~80min). Does one need to clear customs and security when connecting? How long does it take? And how are the J class lounges?
thanks.

TPE has sterile connections - just a security check.
Airport is quite efficient, 80 minutes should be fine.
T2 has a large BR lounge which is used by most Star Airlines, as well
as a smaller SQ lounge that you may be entitled to use.

EVA Airways Credits
I took ICN <> TPE 2 weeks ago on EVA Airways, however, the mileages had not yet been credited to my account. Does anyone know how long it would take?
My account will expire on 1 November if no activity before then (was waiting the BR flights activity), any suggestions on a crediting an activity with minimal mileage deductions? Thanks.

I'm looking at YYZ-TPE seats as well and they seem to show up as far as the availability calendar goes on Aeroplan, so 356 days?
