EVA Air Introduces "Elite Class" on 777-300ER
Well, a seat map has finally been posted online. Here's the link to the image:

So, the seat pitch of Elite Class (the new Evergreen Deluxe) has remained the same as its predecessors. I'm curious how "elite" Elite Class will be.
There also seems to be a small section designated as a "Bar" in Premium Laurel. I'm very curious now.

Oh no, stupid name (both English and Chinese) Evergreen Deluxe was a perfect name. And I thought Dynasty Supreme was stupid 
The Chinese name would lead me to believe this will basically be a class designed for professionals on business trips. It will probably be sold as a higher level of product/price as I feared.
If Y is 3-3-3 compared to 3-4-3 on the 744 and "Elite Class" is still 2-4-2 as the ED on the 744, what does that say about the width of the seats?
Only 2 baby bassinet positions in Y? How is that going to work?
Interesting to see what amenities come with the seats.

First scheduled flight
Anyone knows when is the first scheduled flight of EVA's B777-300ER? I searched EVA AIR's website and came up with BR 211 TPE-BKK on Aug. 6 as the first one. What are the chances that they might change it? I am thinking to take part in the first flight to try out the new Elite class, so, if anyone has any information please let me know. Thanks

"username" posted this link in a different thread, it's a slideshow that shows all three classes of the new B777ER - Premium Laurel, Elite & Economy.
I know it's not quite what you are looking for but maybe keeps you inspired until more pictures are being taken and posted.
