If its TPE-ORD/YYZ/IAH/JFK, the second cabin, left side is looked after by a Chief Purser so the service is considerably better if you get a good one.

Yes it is a TPE YYZ flight. Last night there was empty window seats, on the left side but was filling up. I did book the seats by calling them up initially and they suggested the 3rd row on the first cabin. Well they said as front as possible as the rear seats are close to the galley they said. But I will take your advice and look to see if I can change to the second cabin now.

And I often find that if L2 (FA on left side of the 2nd cabin) is a CP, they don't really know the service protocols that well because they're not used to doing the actual work. On a recent flight, they grabbed a bunch of CPs/DPs and downgraded them to APs to fill the slots. It was funny that none of them could figure out how to put up a bassinet. In the end, a trainee (a Male FA on his first training flight!), came from EY and put it up in a minute.

I don't think there is any difference although the rear cabin is often less full, so perhaps you have a better chance of someone else not complaining the cabin is too cold.
I've found choosing the side of the plane with less sun can make a small difference if in a window seat.

Picked 9A, will try the smaller cabin.

SunFlight.net - Day and Night Flight Map lets you plug in the flight city-pairs, length of flight, and dates and tells you the percentage of time you'll be in sunlight and fraction left/right.

If it is winter, TPE->ORD will be in darkness for nearly the entire flight. For summer, the left side of the plane is a bit better.

However, when I go to the Seat assignment, it wants to charge my for the seats I select. I thought seat selection was free for *Gold.

Related to this, I just booked an EVA itin on Orbitz and went to the EVA website after ticketing and added my UA star-gold number. It now says:

Where is crew-only lavatory on 777-300ER during COVID-19 pandemic time?
Hi,
I know EVA has blocked one lavatory on the airplanes for crew-only during COVID-19 crisis. Anybody has inside information about where it is located on 777-300ER, especially the aircrafts on SFO route?
Would the crew-only lavatory the one in front of seat 1A as it is close to cockpit and crew rest area?
I would not be surprised that the crew-only lavatory practice will go on for a while. Have a trip later this year and try to find a RL seat which has less lavatory traffic.
Thanks!
