EVA Air

[mac73]

I have just booked my flights for June and i am booked with eva from heathrow. I know you just used this route billy so any chance you can tell me what plane you got from heathrow and if it was the new re-furbished 747 was it as good as the 777 normally on that route.

(katoeylover @ Jan. 27 2008,11:15) I bought a single out 2 years ago, now i buy Bkk- Man- Bkk from a thai travel agent. The "return" part of the ticket, ie Man-Bkk is a 6 month open so I can change the date once i decide when to go.

Hello KL,

Just spotted this thread as it was bumped by Mac73 (cheers Mac73 )

I know you travel business class but do you have a rough figure of what the percentage saving is by booking in Thailand as against the UK?

£1650 (minimum) uk vs 89k bt in los

Thanks KL,

I make that about a 15% saving!

Recently purchased eva flight for october 3rd 08. I have bought an economy ticket, i was wondering if it is possible to upgrade to business class say on my return leg back to the uk?
If possible would i be able to do this at the eva checkin or eva flight desk at bkk airport? This is just an idea at the moment as it would be great to return home in a bit more comfort than usual?

Yes you can..I think you have to pay 1000$ U.S...

Fuck that Going to be cattle class for the next decade!! Cheers billy 69.

You can also use FF miles ~30K to upgrade one of the legs from Deluxe to Business. I usually do it on the LAX to TPE leg since it's the longest.

[Ladyboy_Loser!]

If you want to upgrade to Economy Deluxe it's only 250.00 more here in the U.S. and you can wait until you check in but by doing that you run the risk of it getting booked up beforehand. It's well worth the money on a long flight to be able to stretch out and relax.

(PINK PANTHER @ Jan. 25 2008,23:07) EVA HAVE ECONOMY SEATING UPSTAIRS ON THE 747, WHERE THE 1ST CLASS USED TO BE, I CAN VOUCH THAT IT'S THE DOGS BOLLOCKS, VERY QUIET AND ALWAYS A STEWARDESS ON CALL, AS NOT MANY PEOPLE UP THERE, AND VERY EASY TO SLEEP IN A ROW OF 3 SEATS, JUST REQUEST UPSTAIRS WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR TICKET THROUGH WESTEAST TRAVEL  

Sorry, you are correct...But you got to be Silver or Diamond Card holder to get a sit up there...

Not true billy, just come back from los, my card is gold, but if you request seating upstairs (eg 83a) it can be done no problem !!!
any old fucker can sit upstairs, regardless of membership tier,
i should know, cus i had a rant n' rave at the chief purser twice and the captain about it.
just insist when you make reservation at westeast that you want upstairs !  easily done billy.
