EVA Air's is known as one of the world's best airlines, and that goes for their Business Class, also known as Royal Laurel Class, as well. Against the backdrop of a slightly dated hard product aboard its Boeing 777s, the airline offers a truly stunning soft product, from catering to amenities, to their faultless crews.

This video was shot by Simply Aviation contributor Simon from Stockholm. We’ve been working together for years, particularly for these premium reviews. And as you can see, we’re currently working on transitioning to voice-over videos with his reviews which require some different kinds of video clips. This video obviously has some quality flaws which we’re working on for future episodes. We already got Simon some new camera equipment for his upcoming Thai First Class Review, and we’ll focus on some better camera angles. If you have any additional feedback for Simon, let us know! :)

Awesome work Simply Aviation Team! Would love a Jetstar 787 trip report from Brisbane to Seoul-Incheon or Tokyo Narita! As always, great work. Loving your videos since 2018 :D

@cornellpaulmanatad4289 Месяц назад

this is very good idea to be honest.. showcasing Brutally Honest on business class is somehow I enjoyed it.. shoutout to Simon who trip report all of these First Class and Business Class😅, you should doing some voice over more often from Felix as well bytheway

@4evertrue830 Месяц назад

Wait a minute David, if this flight is Simon's flight on Eva airlines, why make it sound like you flew on this flight? 🤔 I know you had to do the review but it doesn't sound like Simon was flying on board. I hope Simon is not pissed if he gets around to watch this video..😅😊

@Pakanin Месяц назад

@4evertrue830 I'm writing a long text of my review of the flight. After that, David does a script for the voiceover and makes the edit of the video with voiceover. At the end I watch the video before it post so we double check that all facts are my own. In my opinion this video is the best so far I've filmed. However the upcoming Thai First Class video will be even better ;)

EVA Air has an excellent reputation and have expanded steadily. They are part of the Evergreen Corporation which, in part, is one of the world's largest shipping companies. No shortage of cash, so they compete on quality not penny pinching.

Flew EVA's flight 28 from Taipei to San Francisco last August in Business, with a departure time of 11:35pm. They still opted for the six-course service and were only able to finish service some two and half hours into the air, making it roughly 2am, and boy everyone on the plane was definitely exhausted. By the time I got to the entree the flight attendant literally had to shake me up for it and the dessert. Flew Starlux's flight 11 in business on the same route with the same 11:35 departure time, they cleverly opted for course meals while on tray, and flight attendants asked every guest if they wanted to skip any part of the meal given the late departure time. The purser and my FA on the Starlux flight said in our conversation that most of their customers who have flown EVA on the same route also had a lot of complaints regarding this and that's why Starlux opted not to use the course-by-course service at times. Sometimes elegance is not the most important as boy I just want to sleep at 2am!!

@fghjkas5098 Месяц назад

EVA Air is apparently is retrofitting 14 of their newest 777s by 2026 which coincide with their A350 deliveries. I think they would introduce an upgraded version of their 787 product maybe with new features like a door and a 4k screen, but that is like 2 years from now so it will be a long wait.

@longduong5212 Месяц назад

I think they are upgrading their 787-9s with premium economy but I don't remember when. I hope their -10s will do the same.

@Teo95sero Месяц назад

I hope so, the seats r tired. So happy they r retrofitting the 787s, can finally go to MXP directly in PY instead of diverting always to CDG or AMS (777 service so offering PY).

Have so good memories now about my EVA Air expierence. Flew from VIE to BKK with the B78X and retur to LHR also on the B77W. Fantastic service. I was surprised as they offer before landing in LHR a breakfast. And BR arrives in evening.

This is a very solid business class product. The service on EVA has been great on my experience. First flew their economy on a long haul and was satisfied so tried their business for a 16 hour from SFO to Shanghai. Great service, satisfying food, comfortable lie flat seats and good amenity kit. (Rlly liked the Jason wu pajamas)

Always had a soft spot for EVA air from the beginning they were offering the BKK service over Vienna, on the 747. Cheaper than KLM. And better.

10:23 you can say what ever you want about the B777 but we have to admit that they have the best takeoff sound ever, that's why the B777 is still gonna be my No1 plane, its a shame lots of airlines uses the B787 don't like those tbh

@upashah Месяц назад

I have actually taken this flight (economy to BKK, and premium economy back to LHR) - and I quite like EVA Air as an airline. Had no issues with them, decent leg room and food, good IFE. Would definitely recommend or use EVA Air again if needed.

@gavinblundell854 Месяц назад

Last December I flew bkk to lhr in business class with Thai tg916. Eva looks a lot more modern.

@pcmacintyre Месяц назад

My most recent EVA flight was in March on a 15 year-old 777, business class TPE-SFO. It felt old. The IFE was low res, unresponsive, and the flight map had no options and was only in Chinese. The lone power port is in a bad spot right by my shoulder, and the foot cubby really small for my size 45 feet. I had been on the newer product for the BKK-TPE leg on their 787-10. It was so much better. I wish EVA's 777 had that configuration. The crew was great on both flights, and the food was good. Unfortunately my beef tenderloin was underdone. The center was more raw than rare. BTW, I pre-booked my meals online as there are more options available than onboard, like SQ's Book the Cook.

BR068 is often late out of LHR as the inbound BR067 (which makes the outward BR068) is often late leaving BKK. It hardly ever leaves on time. I think that the price of business class is not competitive in comparison to other airlines. Over £3.2k LHR-BKK-LHR (On the EVA website) for later on in the year is very steep, even if the product is decent.

@Teo95sero Месяц назад

BR is my airline of choice, and being in TW helps. I love their service and actually go out of my way to fly them as much as possible. However, the J seats on the 777 are tired, I don't sleep that well on them, and they really need to step up the wine offering, lacking imho. IFE movies also not the best, everything else onboard, top of the league. Don't want to talk about their lounges i. TPE, those are a disgrace... Their best lounge is in BKK.
