Extent of Eva codeshares?
Now that Eva is offering a 773ER TPE-EWR direct flight is there any chances that Continental will codeshare this flight in addition to the TPE-LAX flight?
I've been looking at economy travel on Skyteam to TPE and it seems that the Eva has 773ERs flying LAX-TPE which will provide in-seat power for premium economy vs. the SFO-TPE which won't as it's flown by a 747 combi.

CO codeshares on all BR flights from LAX, SFO, SEA and EWR. I don't see them dropping the EWR just because it switches to a non-stop eastbound, and ANC 1-stop westbound, vs SEA both ways. I guess we just have to wait for them to update the agreement and put it in the timetable.

I fly EVA a fair amount. To ensure I book a codeshare I put in XXX City code to TPE on co.com and ensure that I am getting a CO codeshare. Then I book on EVA using my EVA number so that I can go under hotfares and save a little additional. Then I call EVA and switch to my CO number. I've only had a problem once with miles posting and it was taken care of within 48 hours by CO.

The BR 773ER is a very viable choice for flying that route. In premium economy it certainly beats the dreaded NW 744 connecting in NRT.

It's interesting that you say this because when I try a dummy booking on co.com for EWR-TPE I get routed through LAX or SFO on Eva. I guess we'll have to wait until the Continental programmers get around to fixing that!

BTW, I'm hearing that it will be on their new 772LR, not the 773ER.

After doing a quick search on BR website the new non-stop EWR-TPE flight will be the same flight#.

Anyways, if one uses CO's online timetable and search for flights after Dec 4, it's still showing CO9623 EWR-SEA-TPE and 9620 TPE-SEA-EWR. At least they do show 773ER, not 744 Combi.
They need to update those info.

Did you book the EVA flights on CO.com or through Eva? Ive been looking for a definitive answer as to receiving EQM's on Eva. I would be interested in booking an Eva flight, but want Evergreen Deluxe and CO.com only sells an insanely priced Y fare.

I have booked with EVA Air and got EQM only for the EWR-SEA-TPE flight. All other BR flights I took I did not get EQM.

No EQMs or bonus miles for non-codeshare flights beyond TPE, just base miles.
Watch out for the A330 flights inside Asia if you want E+. There's no Evergreen Deluxe class on them.
