Royal Laurel Class offers a reverse herringbone layout of lie-flat (180 degree recline) seats in a 1 - 2 - 1 layout on all Boeing 777-300ERs. All 777-300ERs have been converted to Royal Laurel (77W/77N). New 77A will be added mid 2014.

Then nothing except snacks until the breakfast 13 hrs later.

You can choose to go to sleep first, then have your meal whenever you wake up.

Vegetarian Meal Options

Travelling BKK-LHR-BKK on Eva J Class soon.
Anyone have experience with their vegetarian meal options on this sector?

I am a little confused about EVA's class system, hoping that someone can clarify.

From what I read here, I understood that Royal Laurel/Premium Laurel is EVA's business class. So if I book a *A award ticket in business class, I end up sitting in RL/PL, right? Even if the plane has a 3 class configuration: PL+Elite+Economy? Does Elite correspond to Premium Economy then? Thanks.

You want Royal Laurel. It's great. Premium Laurel - not so much. Look at the plane. I think if you're on a 777, you'll be in RL. If not, you'll be in PL

I am booked on Aeroplan award YVR-TPE in April 2014 on 744 Premium Laurel. Is it OK for sleeping? Is there a chance they will switch to RL aircraft by that time?

Don't know about switching. The seat is great for sleeping (or anything else). It's the same as the new CX J.

The new one is, the old one definitely is not.

If I were you, echino, I'd keep an eye out for availability out of LAX and SFO, and see if you can reroute yourself if something becomes available. Worst case remember, you're not paying YQ

Also consider CA out of LAX.
