I have been waiting to travel to Thailand since my flight was cancelled on the first day of lockdown in March 2020.
My original flight was with Qatar, on both their A380 and 777 aircraft. This would have enabled me to try 2 of their business class variants, including the renowned Q suite cabin.
Having decided not to fly with Qatar, as I didn’t want to get caught up in the World Cup fever, I started to hunt around. British Airways were only flying to Singapore at the time of booking, and their new Club Suite wasn’t guaranteed.
In the end, I opted for EVA Air. And I am so glad I did! It was a wonderful flight with attentive service, good food, great wine, and a restful sleep. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again, and after my stint in the Thai Health resort I am in, I look forward to my return flight home with them!

I also got to do some plane spotting in Thailand whilst waiting for my connecting flight. A few Thai Airways A380 and 747 aircraft were good to see, even if they looked rather forlorn.

Hi Evie nice to seeu flying . Posh posh lady 8:03
Evie do u get to keep the headphones? Sending u hugs .
Wow 🤩 that’s fabulous
I hope one day I can fly on a long haul flight . For now I can’t due to anxiety 😥
I was a kid travelling alone from my country to taiwan and was moved to business class for free so the flight attendants could keep an eye on me easier. Honestly one of the best Airlines because the staff were so nice and helpful and they spoke english very fluently. They gave me a person to assist me in immigration when we arrived and it was honestly the most smooth sailing flight I’ve had considering this is the first time I had a flight without my parents.
Great story, I’m glad you had a great experience too 😁✈️
I love when you pat the plane 😆
I’m flying out on 13th February to Bangkok on Eva my first time in business class
Thank you for your review. I’m excited now
It’s a really wonderful trip, you’ll have a great time! I will be uploading another video next week of my return trip which was even better! 😁✈️
Great video. I'll be taking that flight soon. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Frank, here is my return journey 😁 hope you have a great trip czcams.com/video/KjVjHntuTB8/video.html
@@EvieAviation Thank you!
I'm lucky enough to have flown LHR-BKK and BKK-LHR 6 times in EVA's Royal Laurel Class cabin. The service on board is outsanding, as is the in-flight catering and cleanliness of the cabin. The lie-flat seat is comfortable and the sleeper suits they offer is a touch of luxury you don't get in many business class cabins. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for the comments Dennis. It was a great trip. I just uploaded my new EVA Air video from BKK to LHR here: czcams.com/video/KjVjHntuTB8/video.html
Great job 👍🤠
Nice stream nice airline Eva air x
i can't wait ! in 1 month it'll be my first time flying business to bangkok :) i'm so glad they can turn the sit into a full bed, main reason i chosed this airline lol
Thanks for the review looks absolutely fantastic.If only.! Just survived an extremely uncomfortable return flight LHR BKK in EVA Economy. Never again !
Thanks Robert! It was a wonderful experience. I’ll be uploading the return journey this week as well 😁✈️
The Cabin Lookjng Nice.Great Work.Happy New Year
Thankyou 😁✈️
Great video. We are travelling on Tuesday to Bangkok and your video was very helpful. Really looking forward to going!
Thanks Melanie, I am putting up another video next week. Have a wonderful trip you will love it 😁✈️
Very nice 👌
Evie, this was brilliant. You are showing exactly how this should be done! Hope you had a great time in Thailand, it's a wonderful place! Happy new year!
Thank you so much for your comment! I’m still in Thailand for a few weeks and will be doing the review of Bangkok Airways from Koh Samui, and then the return flight with EVA to Heathrow. Happy New Year 😁✈️
I flew with Eva air in October but in economy and it was absolutely magnificent. Service was lovely. Flight attendants were kind and professional, they had humour which I found really good. Food was amazing, seat was good. Very amazing flight.
I think they are really underrated. Would definitely fly with them, and will be on my return from Thailand 😁✈️
Lovely video Evie, very well put together! Enjoyed it 😊 You should definitely do more of these inflight review videos ✈️ - Jace
Thanks Jace, it was a really fun flight. I ate so much 🤣❤️✈️
Thank you for your great video. I will be taking that flight to Bangkok/Taipie later this year and I now know exactly what to expect in Laurel Class. It looks most splendid.
Hi Gerry. You will have a great flight, I really enjoyed it and am already looking forward to the return flight home 😁✈️
@@EvieAviation I look forward to seeing another video.
Hi, Evie!
Glad to found your video on my CZcams homepage. What a lovely video! This is the first time I found a reviewer who reviewed 3 lounges at once. In that way, you indirectly teach the viewers to go find a more comfortable lounge if the other lounge is full and crowdy. I subscribed your channel. I'm waiting for your other video reviews!
Hi Almira, thank you for your comment 😁 yes it was fun to try some different lounges, hopefully I will experience the United lounge one day. See you on the next video 😁✈️
Great video Evie!
EVA has a great business class. I'm going to BKK next month, 12 hours of luxury and looking forward to it.
Thanks Derek, I’m already looking forward to the return flight 😁✈️
I really enjoyed this review.
Thanks Leon, I really appreciate that 😁✈️
I like review videos so this is perfect
Ach ja... wäre schon sehr schön mal so nach Bkk zu fliegen nicht immer in der Holzklasse;)
My wife always has to pat the plane at boarding as well :)
Hi Evie EVA best business class flight to BKK nice vlog do you know why the United lounge was closed its always the best 😀😀
Hi Silver Fox, thanks for watching 😁. I think the United lounge closes at 8pm and my flight was later, so sadly I didn’t get to experience it. Hopefully another time 😁✈️
7:46 As soon as I saw your happy and positiveface, I subscribed:) to all reading this, have a great and successful day and may our dreams come true!
Nice review Evie, I’m looking forward to this exact flight in the summer but in 11K, my first time business class too, really hope it’s as good as it looks, I’m 6ft 7in tall so can’t wait for the legroom, economy is just so painful at my height 😂
Thanks Lloyd 😁 the flight back was even better, I just need to put the video together. The cheese trolley was my favourite bit 😁✈️
@@EvieAviation we are looking forward to that video also, and sampling the cheese trolley!
HI Lloyd, thought you might want to see my new video of EVA Air czcams.com/video/KjVjHntuTB8/video.html
Hello, great video. When you landed in Thailand, were you allowed to use the fast track immigration line since you had a business class ticket? Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching 😁 I went straight through to catch a domestic flight to Koh Samui and I didn’t have to queue - the airport was very efficient, I literally walked off the plane and into the domestic area for my next flight. Then I had to queue for security checks there but it was less than 10 minutes. I hope that helps
Evie Hi , can you tell me please , in Terminal 2 Heathrow did you get fast track security business class with EVA ? Thanks 😊
Hi Dee, from memory I think I did 😁✈️
Eva Air looked as good as usual. The best lounge in Ter: 2 is Singapore. Air Canada is at best rubbish with very poor food/service. That's why it's nearly always empty. Good alround report.
Thank you Frederick. My first experience of Eva and it was wonderful. I’ll be uploading the next video next week from Bangkok back to Heathrow, which was even better. I appreciate your comment
@@EvieAviation Thank you for your reply. I used to do that trip regularly until this Covid lark. Always use EVA BKK-LHR-BKK for both trips. Yes, I do know that from BKK the food used to be better as it's a midday flight. Tip just stay away from any meat unless it's braised or slow-cooked. Like all airlines, they always seem to overcook it. I look forward to your next Vlog. Not that I'm in any hurry to go back to the UK. Having lived in Thailand for some 25+ years now, I don't do cold anymore.
Happy to fly Buiseness in Octobre to BKK
Check out my new EVA video :) czcams.com/video/KjVjHntuTB8/video.html
Which would you pick for a SEA to BKK roundtrip business class? EVA $5700 or Asiana $4200
I haven’t tried Asiana yet, but I will book EVA Air again no question. Wonderful experience 😁✈️
I will be traveling LAX to CNX (Chiang Mai, Thailand) end of March. Asiana Airlines Business Class was more economical but by the time I was ready to book, the price of the ticket had gone considerably high; more than Eva. I've flown to Thailand twice before using Eva Premium Economy and I can honestly say that as a 70 year, the trip was brutal for me. Why? Because sitting for over 10 hours in the same position resulted in inability to sleep, swollen legs, and bloated feeling after meals due to inactivity. So I'm flying Eva Business/Laurel hoping it will be more comfortable; at least less risk of DVT. Eva was super expensive, cost me an "arm and a leg" so to speak but the thought of seeing my little granddaughter again is all worth it ♥️😗.
Great video !! Do you still need to wear a mask on EVA ?
Hi Bob, thank you 😊 yes they ask you to wear a mask, though once on board and eating hardly anyone was wearing one
@@EvieAviation Thanks, we are flying EVA YYZ to TPE in April. Hoping no masks :)
I am currently 34,000ft on an Eva Air 777 on my way back to London. It’s another wonderful trip, and I’ll do another video in the next few days 😁✈️
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. How can we go into different lounges?
Thank you for watching 😁. Because Eva Air didn’t have a lounge at Heathrow, I was told I could go into any Star Alliance lounge in the terminal
@@EvieAviation Thank you. EVA Air is quite nice (I only fly on their Economy class). I really like the cabin spacious and clean
Come to india dear
Here is my Bangkok Airways video - sound on to hear me discussing it :) czcams.com/video/_Uzv_Y9tKRc/video.html
are you required to wear a mask while sleeping in bed?
Officially I believe so, but many people did not ✈️✈️
no hot towels...looks like they do poor Corona service style. Have been much better in 2019
They have cold towels, in packets. I found these to be more refreshing 😁✈️
@@EvieAviation these plastic things are shit. hope normal hot towel service will return.. when you fly Qatar you get them every 20 minutes
@@jans.4309 I flew Qatar which is a fantastic airliner but never had a hot towel every 20 min but that might have been changed of course. Qatar on the other hand doesn't serve Grand Dame pink Champagne from €275 a bottle and to me, that's more important then a hot or cold towel!
I hate sub titled videos, sorry to give a negative vote
Well Christian, it was made for those who struggle with audio. I’m in the process of making my return trip with my voice over. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it ✈️
Pathetic!
