EVA Ho chi minh to sfo via taiwan.

[singaporeairlinesboi]

Flew on EVA'S new elite class (new name for the old Deluxe class) from ho chi minh to sfo. Sadly from Taiwan to SFO I flew the old deluxe class. The new Elite cabin is now between doors 2 and 3 on the B747. The old Deluxe was from the nose to door 2. Onboard you get your very own 8.4 touch screen TV, personal hook, personal tray table, personal footrest, personal remote (not like on the old Deluxe were the remote is attached to the seat), noise cancelling headphones and an ac adapter. Amenity kits consist of slippers and the usual toothbrush and lotion. The service was surprisingly very good, almost as good as SQ. Overall I would fly EVA again only if SQ runs out of seats like this time


amenity kits (took the blanket and pillow cause they were very comfy )

Wow nice pictures. Thanks for sharing, singaporeairlinesboi.
I didn't know BR has refurbished their B744 Economy Deluxe cabin to the new product.
The seat looks comfortable.

Nice pics, singaporeairlinesboi. Thanks... But where did SQ figure in your itenary? I understand everything was on BR? Did you happen to catch the SQ jet in Taipei and grab the Lead FA for a quick shot?

Yeap everything was on the EVA flight. The SQ 777 and the Lead FA was all in Taoyuan

So I guessed it right. I wonder if an old man like me would be able to pull off the same stunt.

Great report Singaporeairlinesboi! EVA sounds like a nice choice and seems to be getting better all the time. They're Din Tai Fung catering in J sounds especially nice!

As I remembered. I used to flight BR C class on 744 Combi and their seats were horrible. When the seat in front reclined back, the window seats pax are impossible to get up and for the lavatory. Any pics of the C in BR 744 Combi that use on the SFO route?

I missed this thread the first time.

BR looks very, very interesting.

If not for SQ's loyalty program to which I am now hooked to, I may be tempted to fly BR again someday

Yea BR is a good airline. It is always jam pack tho, because of the cheap airfare. Try BR some day you wont regret it.
