Looking to fly YYZ-TPE RT in Feb. Got two toddlers in tow. Would you guys recommend premium economy for them or regular economy for them?
I understand the premium economy seat dividers don't lift up, so not sure how comfortable it's going to be for 2 to 3 year olds to sleep in, whereas in regular economy, the outbound flight looks pretty empty so they could each lay across 2 to 3 seats. Though the inbound flight looks pretty full. Considering doing regular for outbound and premium for inbound, but not sure how fare calculation works since one-ways cost more and I can't mix cabins when booking online.
Thoughts? Thanks

Does anyone know which 777 type will replace hello kitty for Paris route.
Right now it’s served by none upgrade TL (old entertainment system). Will it get upgraded to newer Aircraft.

I have the option in the end of November to fly either from VIE or CDG to TPE in business class. Is there a huge difference(f&b etc.) between those flights or I can choose the most convenient one?

In terms of beverage, CDG currently has Krug Rose(because of Kitty) on the route but she is being shifted to LAX so I am unsure if they will go with Krug for regular flights. VIE is Veuve Cliquot(though that could change as they will compete with CI).
77M will be servicing CDG, meaning that the J class entertainment is the old-style(non tablet) with Panasonic EX2(no duty free ordering via the screen, different design to the flight map etc.) while VIE will be serviced with 77B, which has the tablet style handsets(and Panasonic EX3) and a different color shade for the seats/bathroom locations are different.
Other than that, there is really no difference. For all this, I am assuming that you are taking the nonstop VIE-TPE and not the one-stopper.

It's already Krug Grand Cuvee on BR87/88, Rose is only available when the flight is operated by B-16703.
VIE is also served by 77M, I have flown on one on BR61 TPE-BKK-VIE; also, all of my upcoming BR65/66 nonstops are scheduled to be 77Ms. CDG sometimes gets the 77A as well.

I flew EVA's latest 77w for the first time earlier this week (https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Ev...7-300ER_v5.php). It was my first time on a reverse herringbone. Overall, I liked the seat's privacy but didn't like how narrow the foot cubby was. My flight was relatively empty, so I tried both seat 1G and 3K. I thought the foot cubby on 1G was a lot more comfortable since it's taller, but its bulkhead location wasn't very good since you see/hear people coming in and out of the bathroom. 1A and 1D would have been better, in my opinion. The foot cubby on the nonbulk head seats are pretty restrictive, and you can't switch from side sleeping to back sleeping very effortlessly. Despite that, I really enjoyed my flight and slept on and off for 8 hours.
