Power Outlet in Y...
So, I can ask for an extension cord to run it from Business Class to my seat in Y, correct?
I didn't know they do not have power outlet until reading the few recent posts... I assumed no USB port either. I guess I will need to charge all my stuffs before get on the plane. But jerryhung had stated that the IFE has more Asian content, so might not need to power up my stuff.

You do have nice IFE (both touchscreen AND in-seat control), and many Asian (Taiwan, HK, Japan) movies with subtitles, so that's what I always watch, since Hollywood movies can be watched elsewhere

Flying BR today on a short flight ( TSA-GMP). The flight is delayed due to late
incoming aircraft. What is nice is that they have already sent me 2 text messages
about this - the first around 2 hours before the flight to announce a one hour delay,
( pity I had just gotten into the cab to the airport); the second about 20 minutes
later to announce the delay has been revised to only 40 minutes.
I have never received any texts from AC about delays ( a couple of times a phone call
from the concierge), and I have never seen AC revise a delay in my favour - making
it earlier than first posted.

STPC Program on EVA with Aeroplan tickets
Hi guys,
My parents are flying to Bali soon in BR J. On the return to YYZ, they have the forced overnight in TPE after arriving from the DPS - TPE sector and before connecting to the TPE - YYZ sector. Both segments are in J.
EVA runs a stopover paid by carrier program as I was able to find here. However, my father called the EVA office in Toronto who apparently then contacted the office and Taipei and was informed that award tickets do not qualify for the STPC program. However, there is no such mention of this on that pdf page. Does anyone have any experience with an overnight connection in Taipei?
Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Note my parents' itinerary then continues to MCO so in principle any US DoT protections/regulations should be in effect.

+1 agreed - I also think that this is pretty much "industry standard".

Just posted a trip report on EVA. It was an Aeroplan J class award, NRT-TPE-HKG return for 30,000 miles and less than $50.00 in taxes. Great value!
My first flight of 4 was NRT-TPE, and luckily for me they substituted a 777 with Royal Laurel class, so I was able to preview that. (Mrs. Mapleg and I are taking the YYZ-TPE return flight in May this year, so now I know what I will be getting in terms of hard product)
Here's the report if anyone is interested.
