We flew EVA Air Economy Class on flights BR029 and BR205.
Join us for our January 2018 trip to Thailand. This is the first video in our series and is a trip review that covers our flights from New York's JFK International Airport to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport and our layover in Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei.
BR029 was operated via Boeing 777-300ER (77M) - Seats 55A/B
BR205 was operated via AIrbus A330-300 - Seats 33A/34A

Question about the showers. I will be arriving around 6a.m. and continuing to Bangkok. I also would like to take a shower between flights. What did you have to do to take the shower.
Hi Luis! The ability to shower depends mainly on how much time you have during your transfer. If you have more than 2 hours in between legs with the same carrier, you should be able to pull it off. What we did in the video was try to get into a free shower, which is possible, but required the purchase of an amenity kit that cost almost $20. In hindsight, it's best to go through transfer security and head straight for the lounges in terminal 1. If you don't have a lounge access membership (like through Priority Pass) you can buy a lounge visit with LoungeBuddy ($40). This includes a shower, the kit, and also food and beverages. Lounges open at 6 am so you should be square.
@@LosGatosNYC Were you able to take any overhead videos while flying over the Arctic or was it nighttime when you were there?
Was it a hotel you were pulling up to in Bangkok at the end of the video? Or do you have your own home there? I missed that part
We flew overnight over Alaska and didn't go over the Arctic, which was a shame. We stayed on Silom 3
@@LosGatosNYC Oh. At 4:23 - 4:39 the flight tracker route appeared to fly off the north of Canada and over Victoria Island and over the sea north of Alaska to northeastern Siberia. Did the flight route end up being south of where it was showing it'd be on the screen there?
Oh sorry, lol, I missed you saying it was nighttime when you were up in that area. I added this paragraph after posting first one (which is why it says (edited))
Very helpful video... thank you!
Great Flight Review of EVA's Boeing 777-300ER! I just flew with them last December (both on the Hello-Kitty themed and Normal Flights) and definitely it was a memorable and pleasant experience. Thanks for sharing and subbed! :D
Thank you Ronald! Woot!
idk if you’ll see this since this video was posted a while ago, but thank you so much!!!! I am flying to Japan by way of EVA Air in just a couple of weeks, and it’s my first flight so I’m trying to do as much research as possible. every video about EVA air I’ve come across has flew from LAX, so I was very glad to to have found this video. I was even happier after watching it and seeing how thorough you are in this video!!!!! this is a great video for a first time flyer!
now I just need to figure out how I’m going to get through a 1 hour 25 minute connection in TPE for my flight to Japan lol
Hey BL. Sorry I missed this comment! Thank you for your comments and I glad this video was helpful. It was hard for me to do research as well so I really wanted to be as thorough as possible. We have a return flight video as well and our connection in tpe was only an hour. We made it!
excellent excellent video
Great seat! I love watching the wings do their thing, fun! :)
Same. The 77w and 787 wingflex definitely makes my day!
I’m going on this airline on June 18! I can’t wait!! 🤗
That's awesome! Same route? Let us know how it goes.
Yah same route!
@@SASHA-lk3wt That's awesome! According to FlightRadar24, they are still being operated by the same aircraft on both legs too. Hoping this video was helpful!
Thanks for the video,,,il be using this airlines in oct,,,, to fly to bangkok from jfk,,,, dee nyc
Awesome dee NYC! Let us know what you think of the airline!
EVA air's flights uses terminal 2 only, in other words, no need to change terminal when connect. In that evening, it should be some reason that they cannot help but use different terminal. It is rare to hear this situation. But I agreed that TPE airport was not well organized for transit passengers.
That's helpful to know. We expected to stay in one terminal so when we were directed to a train, most of us were surprised. The return trip was much better!!
Its above average in my opinion. I still believe that American had far greater service in all the classes. I fly to narita about once a month and I have to say that I would much rather fly ANA and or Japan airline due to the amount of luxury and satisfaction the staff gives you. I also hate the flights being packed so having a nice app to grab the loads of the flights a week or two before hand works nicely to your advantage because a whole or an empty middle seat is a whole different experience in economy or economy plus
ANA is a good carrier but I try to stay from an American carrier unless there is a codeshare. We were hoping for a middle seat and got it on the way back.
@@LosGatosNYC I wana try out Singapore since they have a LAX-NRT direct
That sounds awesome! Do you know what they use on that route? a388?
@@LosGatosNYC I believe it's a 773, I would have to check
I will be traveling soon through EVA Air and will have my 40 minute layover in Taipei. Do you think 40 minutes is enough to catch my connecting flight in Taipei considering that I have to go through transfer desks? Thank you.
Hi Sirinken, We had a similar one on the return flight (about 50 minutes) and were really concerned. But, we were able to make it in time without a problem. Our return flight review is here: czcams.com/video/MR7NS4w1Gyo/video.html
I will be taking this flight tomorrow 30 May (JFK), never been to Taipei international, is it difficult to make your way to the connecting terminal to Bangkok, is there somebody that can help direct you along the way? What do you think will it take 30 minutes to make the change, with out knowing the airport layout, do you onow if checked luggage is book through to Bangkok, i will also have backpack and carry on, with me.
From what I've seen, our experience was not common. As long as you are transiting through with the same airline, your luggage will automatically transfer without a problem. When you deplane, you should be on the lookout for signs for your connecting flight. If you're flight is scheduled to depart soon, there is extra emphasis on it. Follow the signs until you get to the transfer desk and security. Your carry-on should not be a problem. Going through transfer security is like going through TSA light and is not bad at all. 30 minutes is pretty tight but is doable.
I just booked my ticket from sfo to bkk. How was your trip? Any tips? Or recommendations about airport or bkk? I’m solo traveler lol
Sorry we missed this comment! The trip was great. This was our second trip in 1 year bc we loved it so much. I hope you had a chance to check out our other videos from the our trip.
Next time try BR's Premium Economy.....better seat, food, and entertainment screens plus you get a power port........way better than Sardine Class!
Most definitely. They were all booked before we got our hands on them!
How's the legroom at the window seat? I hope there's enough space to move out and go to the loo while not disturbing the passenger next to me.
There is definitely decent space but you will have to disturb the middle and aisle passengers. Economy plus is way better
Do you travel in Taiwan also ?
In JFK did you guys receive your boarding passes for your TPE-BKK flight or did you receive them at the transfer counter in TPE?
Hi Zain, we got both boarding passes at JFK. You will need to present your 2nd pass in order to go through security in TPE
@@LosGatosNYC Thanks!
Happy travels!
I fly EVA YVR TPE BKK May 19th 2am done this trip dozen of times, I get the Premium Economy Class worth the extra money, 777-300ER all the way, I do not like Airbus which they never use on this route. This will be almost 5yrs since I went back to BKK look forward to see your other videos and the changes I will arrive to.
Premium economy is definitely worth it on these flights! I love their 77Ms. The A330 was os underwhelming in comparison. I'm excited for your trip!
Here is an old video of my EVA business class flight on a 747 czcams.com/video/Qmfkkt_ML4k/video.html
I cant wait to get there sure have missed it, be interesting to see my old neighbourhood where I stayed Sukhumvit 42/1 and the surrounding areas
That's an awesome video Phil! I just subscribed to you!
The terminal looked more like a mall to me
Definitely. Most international terminals do!
Have you guys transited through either?
I meant Singapore or Hong Kong
Not yet. Usually Incheon or Taipei. Would love to transit through Changi
Is there have free wifi in JFK T1?
Yes, we finally got free, unlimited wifi at JFK a little over a year ago!
Wait so you couldn’t charge your phone because I saw someone charging their phone next to you??
The IFE had USB power points which you use for a slow charge for your phone. But there are no outlets for other electronics like laptops. In the video, you can see the USB charger on the 777 and the AC power outlet under the seat in the A330.
How much was your airfare?
At the time of this video, our fare was less than $600 RT. I have not seen it this low in a long time.
@@LosGatosNYC Was it One Way or was it a round trip??
Round trip!
You Got GYPPED in the termimal..... next get a Foot-Long at Subways before getting to the terminal.
Seriously! We actually had sandwiches ready but left them at home. Smh
Again it's congee
It is not E V A Air it is pronounced as full Eva air like the name Eva
It is actually EVA and not Eva. This is confirmed by the flight crew in the video, flight crew that I'm connected to, and also by calling the airline: m.evaair.com/A09/A0901_Index
The airline always say E V A , on the aircraft or over the phone , most passengers say Eva though.
No deodorant?
