    Note the important thing that the leg rest is ONLY in row 20. A few years ago all the seats in this class had leg rests. Thanks to these KZread videos I was aware of this and just returned from LAX to BKK round trip and booked row 20. Had I not known about the no leg rests and bought the ticket, when I got to the plane I would have been furious. Still a great flight. Food was really good. Heck even the China Air food had been good in the past.

    ok. I just booked LAX to BKK connecting through Taiwan. Have done this flight 14 times in the past. Been 5 years now I think since I took such a holiday. I booked row 20 the bulkhead row each lef just so I could get the foot rest with the chair. All the previous flights used to have the old seats that all reclined with a foot rest, but now the newer planes have little foot pegs or stirrups on the seat in front to use. No way! Anyway a 3 week holiday in the Land of Smiles. Like to go to Phuket because you can actually swim in clean water at Karon Beach, but being only 3 week trip I will just spend time between pattaya and bangkok, decent hotel pool, lots of german food, foot massages, etc. Will report back on the flight later

    Nice video. I've been to Tom Bradley several times. I didn't get what you said about the South entrance for US citizens. All we experienced was, after check in one time we used the entrance to the left as it was nearer the check in counters. Others times we turned right. My last flight was April 2022. I turned right after check in. There are only Business and economy lines for security regardless of citizenship. Maybe the south gate you were saying has a shorter line and for US citizens only. Where is it so I can use that next time. For is always good whichever class you are. Next time I will tell the crew to exchange my meal if it is possible especially the chicken and rice.

    Sorry if it wasn’t clear, but in the video I was referring to the south entrance being a TSA pre-check entry point which it still is today and TSA pre-check is only something you can get as a US citizen or a US national therefore the south security checkpoint comment would not apply to anybody who wasn’t a US citizen

    @@TheAircraftKing I have to say the flights were mostly fine, but not great. The 777 in the denser configuration is not ideal. Unfortunately on both Transpacific legs the person in front of me reclined the entire way. The seat on the way back was very uncomfortable. I used the supplied pillow for lumbar support. The temperature of the cabin was too warm. The fold down footrest is pretty useless. The entertainment system was decent. Not the best selection, but not bad. I ended up watching The Man From Uncle three times. Disappointed EVA doesn't have external cameras, and on the way back the USB ports weren't working. The commercials for duty free items were tacky. The leg from SFO to TPE took 14 hours. (45 minute gate delay to push off in SFO plus very strong headwinds). Whatever downsides there were, seeing everyone crammed back in Economy made me realize I was right to upgrade. The weakest aspect of the flights was the catering. I had four legs going from SFO-->TPE-->BKK and back. The food from SFO and from BKK on the return were fine. Nothing spectacular, but fine. However the food for the TPE-->SFO flight was atrocious. The beef and rice dish had mis-cooked rice of all things. The "fresh fruit" was a couple anemic apple and orange slices. (other legs had watermelon, pineapple, and dragon fruit).The "breakfast meal" was a dry overcooked chicken and pasta served with a sweet raspberry gel on the side. Not edible at all. I took a couple bites and left the rest. Apparently the caterer had no idea on how to even meal plan the Western option. The flight staff were mostly great. They were quite efficient. The restrooms were kept very clean. The only downside was when you asked for something not on the cart, for example a cocktail. (I got a Bailey's Irish Cream to go with my ice cream to help me sleep on the redeye flight). They seemed a little surprised I read the menu. I never did get to try EVA's signature cocktail. Then there was the flight attendant who dropped a knife on me. She later dropped a coffee pot, so I got off lucky. The legs between TPE and BKK were much better by comparison. While I was in economy for TPE--> BKK, the 787 was a 3-3-3 configuration and spacious enough for a 4 hour flight. The omelet was standard airline eggs. The Premium Economy cabin from BKK to TPE was only half full. I had no-one in front of or beside me. The fish and rice tasted fine. The fish was a little mushy. A very comfortable 3.5 hour flight. Will I fly EVA again? Not sure. I'm looking to return to southeast Asia in a year, but I am thinking about a Oneworld excursion ticket.

    Bong Sellers thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the video. So what you can do is that head to the airport as soon as the check in counter opens and try your luck with row 20. Ideally if you are flying out of an out station like LAX, it’s much easier to get those seats since there aren’t too many elites flying and I was able to get it easily. However for the return flight from Taipei to LAX (working on that video right now actually!), all of row 20 were occupied by Eva Diamond members and so my star gold through United wasn’t high enough to get a good window seat. So it definitely depends where you originate but I’d say get to airport as soon as you can and ask the check in counter about that row. Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

    Dumb question.. I’m flying EVA next year to Taipei as well, and I get so anxious when I fly! How was the flight in terms of turbulence/smoothness?

  • @TheAircraftKing

    China Doll not a dumb question at all, the flight was perfectly fine. Flying out of LAX any night you do have that marine layer just a few hundred feet in the air which causes very minuscule turbulence and you are on your way from there. The flight was smooth all the way to Taipei. There is the occasional mid flight turbulence you could get but just know that’s only a matter of wind flowing in multiple directions and the plane being in the middle of that which causes the shakiness. Its like taking a dice, setting it on a table, and a couple people blowing it from all directions. Sure it moves around a bit but nothing will ever happen to the dice itself. I’ve flown on some tiny planes through massive monsoon storms and even with that turbulence, the plane itself is indestructible and nothing happens. Take this huge 777 and add a little bit of turbulence won’t be anymore shaky than when you start up your car before you drive it. Hope this answered your question and please ask if you have any other questions I’d be glad to help. Cheers!

    I was wondering about sleep,I cant do sitting up very well so I usually go business class,but I would sure like to save some money and go premium, you think I could sleep,?does it recline more than economy?thank you

    I thought the recline was pretty good for a non-Royal Laurel seat. At 22:31 I have a brief pan over what the bulkhead seat looks like in its most reclined position. I’ll let you be the judge for what you think based on this but it was a nice and comfy enough for me. Definitely better than the non-bulkhead premium economy seats as well

    Du Nguyen I was able to select it at the check in counter. I booked 3 months in advance and at that time the bulkhead row is blocked off to all passengers except EVA diamond members. But at check in counter they open it up for star alliance gold members and at that point I was able to select the seat. It didn’t cost anything extra.

    Pui Tayana yep! You can pick most of the seats before travel with EVA. Some seats, like the one I’m in, are reserved for Eva diamond members at booking, and then star alliance gold members at check In time. In premium economy, all other rows are fair game. Though in economy, some seats are reserved for those who paid higher economy fares only.

    The one horrible thing about the EVA site is, you only pick the seat after you enter all your personal information. So if you do that and then you find that the flights you wanted do not have the seat(s) you want, you have to start a new search! There is no back button. And what is worse, is you have to then re enter some of your basic information again. If you are a member and sign up, it will populate your name and address and phone, but the next page with "who is traveling" will not populate with your passport information. So can be very tedious to get through the seat selection/flight selection. EVA site has gotten worse over the years.
