EVA Air 777-300ER Wifi?
 

Is this service now available as was once advertised? How's it working and how does the pricing structure work? Thanks.

Not yet.

Supposedly sometime this year they will start taking delivery of the WIFI equipped birds.

Very selective plane, wasn't on TPE-SFO recently so should be later this year

Any recent updates? Eva website states it is available on TPE-JFK and TPE-LAX routes on selective flights. Have anybody actually used it yet?

I was on BR 11 LAX-TPE last week. On RL class, the purser gave out Free 15 minutes Wifi Cards to try the service. In-flight Wi-Fi connection rates 11.95 USD for 1 hour; 16.95 USD for 3 hours; 21.95 USD for 24 hours.

The download/upload speeds were consistent throughout the flight. No problem watching You-Tube videos, uploading pictures were pretty fast considering the upload speed.

Great to know. Thanks.

Is there a way to check if my upcoming flight to JFK will have Wi-Fi?

EVA Timetable is showing 77A (Wi-Fi) daily flights.

You can go to Manage Your Trip on EVA Air Website.
Click 'Seat Change' for your TPE-JFK segment.
If seat 7K is on the seat map, then the plane would have Wi-Fi.

Thanks. This would be great to have Wi-Fi on this segment.

I flew RL class in June and decided to purchase the 24hour pass so I didn't use this voucher:

15min free WiFi voucher (expires September 30th, 2014) one-time use

Q: I have a Free EVA Air SKY Wi-Fi voucher card; how do I use it?
A: From the login website of EVA Air SKY Wi-Fi:
Click on “Enter” to read the User Terms and Conditions;
Select "I Agree" after reading the terms and conditions;
Type in the security code and you will be directed to the payment page;
Enter your username and password (printed on the Free EVA Air SKY Wi-Fi Trial Card) in the boxes on the page’s right-hand side;
Once you have logged in successfully, the Wi-Fi connection time will start.

I think that I will be flying EVA next time I go to Asia. Is there Wi-Fi in Economy too, or is it only for First Class flyers?

The WiFi is available for anyone in the plane to connect to. However, if they are giving out 15 min free coupons I don't think that is for Economy.

Just a heads-up to those pre-paying for WiFi--the voucher codes have not been working recently. I bought a 24 hour pass for BR32 yesterday and it would not validate on the flight. The CPs said that they have been discussing this on their "CP network" (not sure what this is, but I'd like to imagine they have some sort of IRC!) and it has been a known issue for the past week or so. Ended up purchasing again in-flight and filling out a form to get the pre-paid one refunded.

The WIFI system itself has been spotty lately. The last CP on my flight said they are experiencing more and more issues with connectivity and the system is locking out certain IOS and Android phones for no reason.

A friend of mine on her flight back to HK purchased wifi online but was told Wifi system was down for that flight...

Ive used it a few times, it works great when its close to the US, but when it was by Russia, it was pretty spotty. Im not sure if location makes a difference but it does for me. LAX--TPE route.
