Onboard Product Changes Starting 1/2018
EVA Air has issued a press release announcing the official renaming of Elite to Premium Economy. In addition, new cabin products and current product changes have also been announced starting on 1/1/18.

1. New Menu Designs: As their contract with the previous design comes to an end, they have partnered with a new company(JL Design) and created all new designs.

2. PJs and Slippers from Apujan in RL are changing to a blue and white mix.

3. New Seasons cake(for select long-haul) and PAULs cake for HKG-TPE flights(except BR828/858/856).

4, New cold-pressed Mango Juice in RL

5. Elite Pillow/Blanket has new design and better comfort. This is part of their efforts to differentiate between PE and Y as the competition in PE heats up.

New changes are expected as they focus their cabin product around their newest slogan(Home for Every Season)and ad campaign.
The PE Ad they are running in Taiwan now(It's Chinese):

Does this mean the tablecloth is changing as well? Thought the same designer was responsible for menus and tablecloth.

1. Downgrade. The current menu design looks much better. Hope the excellent tablecloth isn't changed...
2. Like the new colors, don't like the change to open toe slippers though.
3. Not a cake guy so don't care.
4. I love a good mango juice.
5. Looks like a big improvement.

I guess few airlines have a product name for PE so they are also going to use a generic name? The Chinese name of course is what they started with in 1992.

Now let's see how much more they jack up PE price....

Too many cases of severe burns to flight attendants during the hot meal service.

The current closed toe slippers are useless for anyone with a shoe size bigger than about 8.

No. It is there for commercial purposes.

They do sell it in the duty free catalog though.

The new slogan is "Home for Every Season". The focus this year will be on the PE brand and changing service to "match" the slogan.
