Terrific TR. Thanks for sharing.
I am looking to get an award ticket on BR but I am confused by the 77N and 77W denotations from BR. Do both have the flat bed in Royal Laurel? Is one of them an angled seat?
More importantly (with regards to your TR), it looks like you had the flatbed to YYZ, am I right? I wonder if the same is for TPE-LAX.

Thanks for the reply. The EVA website is clear enough with its fleet facts denoting one plane seat map but dummy booking produces a conflicting plane denotation, which is why I needed clarification

People are really obsessed with the whole Hello Kitty stuff/plane, but honestly I'm not a big fan of having pink napkins or pink toilet paper lol

I have a trip coming up YYZ-TPE in a few weeks. Given its midnight departure, how different is the dinner service compared TPE-YYZ? My guess is that everything will be placed in a tray and delivered at the same time? Also, Im thinking or pre-ordering the lobster with egg fried rice and the noodle soup. Are they really that bad?

I probably mentioned this before, but I dont really like the dcor of the lounge. Its an eclectic cross between an eighties disco lounge and a HP business center. What is it with the Taiwanese and neon lights? Is this supposed to remind the older generation of the glorious days past? Or is it really a secret fetish that Taiwanese people have, because I did also see neon lights wrapping around the sign of a computer area near one of the gates.

Your food commentary is interesting. I've only flown EVA in premium economy, where ALL the food is inedible (to my western palate). I finally learned to order Kosher, EVA's K-meals are quite good. Thanks for the report.
