EVA Airlines
My father will be traveling to Taiwan next month. He asked me to look for a "fair" fare on the Internet. I came up with EVA Airlines Evergreen class.They offer a good fare for what they say they offer.
Does any one in this forum have ever flown EVA's Evergreen class? If so, is it worth to pay the difference?
Thanks!

No doubt this product offers a good value for money, in terms of comfort.
Only 8 seats abreast in a 747, compared to 10 in normal eco.
A seat pitch of 38 inches, compared to 32-34 in normal eco depending on the airline.
A seat with very good recline, and complete leg support (not electric though).
In some aircraft used (especially 744 combis) the Evergreen deluxe class is in the nose, with is the most silent part of the plane (rows 21-25).
I use systematically this class to fly from Europe to SE Asia (even with the detour through Taipei, as the price/comfort ratio is really satisfactory !).
Regarding the food it is average, nothing fantastic, nothing awful.
Th cabin crew is efficient.

the
"Other Asian, Australian and South Pacific Frequent Flyer Programs " forum, there are some disccusions about this class, and especially one in august regarding the possible cancellation of this class in the future.

TGV has said it all about this product, but I just wanted to say I agree...it is worth the price, for the added comfort, esp. on long flights. I have many friends in BKK, and living in London, they routinely use this as a comfortable way to travel for a great price (about 40% less than BA's world traveller plus). And, if you are lucky enough to get seats up in the nose of a 747, even better...so quiet, and spacious!
I know people who work at EVA in the UK, and they said the product is set to continue...but not on every aircraft (regional there is less mkt demand for it).
Enjoy!

EVA's Deluxe Economy is DEFINITELY worth the relatively low "upgrade" cost. I've traveled LAX to Bali twice on EVA and the extra room at each seat is worth every cent of the additional cost, especially on the very long LAX-TPE-LAX segments. Also, EVA has one of (if not the) best safety records of any Asian carrier. Miles earned on EVA flites can be credited to a CO One Pass account.
