Fun fact: EVA was actually the first airline to introduce the concept of Premium Economy back in 1991

NEVER apologize for an aisle seat! Those of us (even avgeeks like me) that travel a lot...some of us like (have to) sit in aisles because of older bladders. It was actually real nice to see a report from a different perspective! THANKS! Would love to see aisle seat reports periodically!

Hi Scott, thanks for another awesome review!! BTW, cold fresh towel is the standard product for EVA's PE. Hot towel only served to Business class. :)

Another airline to add on to my "try" list but well who knows how long it'll take before any of us can fly again. Stay Safe out there Scott

Thanks mate! Really miss your videos and travel!

I've flown EVA on the LHR-BKK route a few times, twice in Premium Economy (late 2019 being the latest round trip). The crews are always attentive and helpful. The additional cost is definitely worth paying if you can stretch to it. Currently trying to find a review of their First Class, as I'm hoping to make one final one-way journey next year and see outmy days in the hills of northern Thailand, and that might be a nice way to round off my long haul travels :)

I also bounced around the different themed lounges lol! Great way to pass the time. We don't believe you though, that was totally your pink carry on. 😛

That cabin is gorgeous! Totally dig it.

4:53 Hey Scott! I was just there 2 months ago!

I've got a flight in business class from Taipei to Chicago in July. Hopefully, the coronavirus situation has settled down by then and Taiwan will be allowing transits again and inflight service isn't scaled back too much. I hear EVA Air's business class is one of the best in the world! Have you flown it?

I few EVA Premium Economy from 2005 to 2012 visiting my Married Friend in the Philippines. Very good seats and service. Also the price from Economy to Premium was a small amount compared to Now.

Love how you bust Sam Chui and his pink trolley which he is always using at 5:53 :D Couldn't stop laughing.

I've been binging your reviews for the last few days now and as much as I love your videos, I'm always excited to see your shoe game. lol Guess it might be a shoe fetish but you're always rocking the best kicks!

Your commentary just cheered me up. Great content. Thanks man.

So what about the actual premium economy seat, was it worth the upgrade? How was it for recline and sleeping?

Always a fun few minutes watching your videos sir. Hope you are well and I look forward to your next trip.

Flew EVA Premium Economy few times last time was couple weeks after this video was recorded. TPE-SEA. Love the spacious seat and service. However I found the angle of the leg rest little uncomfortable for my legs. Maybe an inch or two higher would have been perfect

I think i just found the most underrated channel on youtube

I used to grab up exit row seat by arriving early at O'Hare..Now their is no guarantee you'll get it even if arriving early. I'll have to get the premium economy and Ambian. Since I can't sleep on planes easily for 13.5 hours plus to Taipai.

Great Video! We all know that travel is halted for a while, but your creativity will continue to shine.

Hey SANSpotter! Love your work and an avid follower! Quick question - do you remember if the middle premium economy seats have arm rests that go up or all they all fixed? Just asking as my family with a toddler are looking at options to Taiwan and would like to give the little one space to lay down if we can pull up the arm rests in the middle 4 seats.

I love EVA air one of my Fava done LAX TPE many times

Smart man ! Always go with the Asian selection vs. the Western version on Asian airlines. They do a better job bc of more knowledge and experience. This product does seem to be a better value vs. China Airlines, their fellow Taiwanese competitor. Looks like Eva has upped their game once again bc their meals portions occupy the entire tray vs. skimpy ones on China Airlines. You were fortunate to travel right before the shutdown. Now it's a hassle going back to Taiwan with all the Covid testing and mandatory quarantine, which shows no easing.

used to fly eva air premium elite all the time from LAX to Thailand and back. Notice the seats are now completely different. Before all the seats reclined and had foot rests. Now they do not have foot rests. They just have things on the back of the seat in front of you. Just horrible change

Those shoes again! Ahaha, match the personality, as I once said!

I some times prefer the aisle seat in the middle anyway especially if it is an over night flight !! Food looked good too !!

EVA Air is a very good service airlines, and it's ranking no.6 best airlines in the world in 2019. We also have China airlines, it's our national airlines, it's ranking no.39 best airlines in 2019. Both those Taiwanese airlines are very good.

The legroom alone would be worth a higher ticket price on a long haul.

A small peice of constructive criticism for you. I think SurfShark VPN is the best VPN by far, it’s one of the cheapest, fast, it has servers all over the world, works in China, works with Netflix, they don’t keep logs, you can have unlimited devices on one account etc. And I would totally agree with you in recommending the use of a VPN. However, I felt the reasons you gave for using a VPN were a little bit misleading. You said that you’d be foolish to sign into anything where your transmitting personal data [on public WiFi], implying that when using public WiFi, your personal data will be sent through the air, and anyone could intercept it on the way. The thing is this isn’t true anymore because of protocols like httpS, which encrypts the data between your browser and the website server, anyone intercepting this data wouldn’t be able to see your personal details, they’d only be able to see what website your accessing. And banking apps especially, will make sure they are using a secure connection, they won’t work at all if they are unable to use a secure connection. I don’t mean to criticise too much, I think it’s good to recommend a VPN, and your recommending a really great one but I think there are better reasons to use a VPN, including the ability to get cheaper flights if you book them from a different region. Other than that I love your videos, so high quality and your commentary makes it so entertaining. TL;DR, VPNs usually aren’t necessary for a secure WiFi connection these days.

EVA needs to improve its premium economy seats, there are no calf and foot rest built into the seats!
