The plane was half empty and I lucky to get three seats to myself allowing me to stretch my legs. Even without that the regular leg space in economy was quite comfortable compared to some other planes in recent memory. Food was fine I’m not vegetarian, but neither of the options offered was. So order vegetarian ahead when checkin in.
Picked our seats when we purchased this flight (2 seats alone on the right) but were assigned two middle seats in the middle row at the gate. Very disappointing for a 10 hour+ flight, and what is the point of picking and paying for seats ahead of time when they just reassign us?
First international flight where the meals were not to my taste.
Overall, my experience with EVA Air was mixed. The highlight was that the airline clearly tried to provide a premium dining experience by offering the Michelin-starred Kanpai Classic beef yakiniku rice. However, in the limited space of an economy-class cabin, this meal felt overly oily and not very practical to eat. The sauce and grease made it easy to get one’s hands or tray table dirty, and after the meal many passengers may need to go to the lavatory simply to wash their hands. While the food itself may be high quality, the presentation and practicality did not seem well suited to an in-flight environment. Another disappointing part was the paid Wi-Fi service. I paid for the internet package, but the service did not work properly. What made the experience more frustrating was that passengers then had to spend additional time requesting a refund, and the refund process itself was slow and inconvenient. For an international airline, I think a malfunctioning paid service should be handled more efficiently. As for the seat, I feel EVA Air’s economy-class seats may be more comfortable for Asian passengers or people with smaller body frames, but they may not be as comfortable for taller or larger Western passengers on long-haul flights. The overall cabin environment also varied during the flight. Some passengers were not very mindful of noise, cleanliness, or shared cabin etiquette, which affected the comfort of the journey. I believe clearer reminders from the airline regarding cabin manners and hygiene could help improve the overall passenger experience. In short, EVA Air has some strong points, especially in trying to offer a premium Taiwanese-style service, but there are also areas that need improvement: more practical in-flight meals, a more reliable paid Wi-Fi system, faster refund handling, and better cabin management during long-haul flights.
Other than spotty internet, great servic, comfortable and smooth flight!
Crew was good. Sometimes food was eh. The spaghetti is gross for me. First time i got food, they didn’t provide utensils so i ate with my hands. I was hungry. They gave it to me 20 mins later when a crew member came by. I would fly with them again. Nobody is perfect
Eva air was fine - Trip.com via KAYAK sold my family access to a “VIP” lounge fo a layover in Taipei… i’m please look at my pictures. It was a scam, Trip.com knows it and they are perpetrating a fraud through your web site.
My flight was amazing smooth and the attendants were so friendly and nice
Crew are excellent. Food was good generally. Seats are small and there isn’t much leg room. Overhead bins are very small.
What could have been better, was we were delayed from takeoff for two hours. Initially we were informed that we were delayed for refueling. Then we taxied out on the tarmac, then just waited there for a long time, with no explanation of the delay. Were we just waiting on takeoff clearance or was there some other reason for the delay? The pilot, nor none of the crew informed us passengers. That was not good customer service. That needs to be improved, whenever a delay, inform the passengers for the reason.
When requesting water, make sure, as a passenger, you specify cold or ice added to your cup
We really enjoyed our flight to Seattle. The food was great and service was attentive.
The crew are amazing. Very professional, polite, kind, and accommodating.
Very bad. They don’t allow group people to sit together by blocking most of seats and opening only single seat during online checking in. . By doing so, they can rip off customers at the check-in counter by collecting extra money if we want to sit together in the same row.
I love my Delta crew, they were so welcoming and helpful.
I absolutely loved my flight from Taipei to LAX. I was originally assigned to a different seat, however one of the stewardess noticed I was uncomfortable in my seat. She offered to move me to a more comfortable setting. Although she didn’t have to do what she did, I am more than grateful and thankful for her doing so. My longer flight felt much more comfortable, just by her taking notice. I really appreciate her.
Airline itself is great. While food was being taken off of my tray my beer spilled which was a total accident and I wasn’t upset about that, what was frustrating was I had to ask for towels to clean up and wipe my leg. It would have been left as is if I hadn’t.
Bars and restaurants in Taipei close early. The lounge isn’t very good, but better than the public areas.
The flight who provided services on my row had some not-nice attitude and not smiling at all.
Comfort was left wanting due to such a long flight, made the wife and I wish we could upgrade the seats to Business class or First Class, but did not have that option. Food was good but had very limited options and I have a dietary restriction which was difficult for the staff to accommodate since everything provided came with cheese on it. (Cheese could potentially kill me) Did not have an option to inform the staff until we were already in the air about the restriction and was not provided another option before flight departed.
We thought we were going on an ANA flight airline, but why did it become a UNITED airplane? Otherwise, our flight was good, despite an hour delay on boarding, we still landed according to original time!?!? Food was not bad, especially the short ribs and mash potatoes. 😋 Flight attenders were attentive and polite.
For a late night flight, the lights were kept on for a long time so it was hard to sleep. They also served the food late. But most frustrating is that I had booked an aisle seat on Kayak but the airline changed it to a middle seat.
Long haul from Chicago to Tokyo was great, traveled in the ROOM on ANA and experience was great all around. The flight from Tokyo to Bangkok was fine. Definitely a good way to go. Should have stopped in Tokyo for a bit.
Refer to the Osaka-Tokyo one, it explained how I felt about both flights
I am a United 1K flyer but certainly I would fly ANA again. Great inflight service!
"The Room" is the only way to fly. The service was excellent and the stewardesses we all gorgeous and friendly. The boarding process was delayed and the attendants at the airport were not the best.
Great. Very helpful staff and accommodating. The flight was also smooth
My son flew and had a great experience.. thank you for taking care of my baby
The flights with ANA were great. The flights with United, not so much.
I enjoyed the flight, but a little too much turbulence on the flight. Thank you for the meal and entertainment. This kept my kids entertain during the flight. I have to admit comparing the crew from ANA vs United, there was a sense of more accomodation, friendliness and service compared to United crew. I felt for the United crew, it was just a job and it can be seen in there demeanor and delivery.
It was a great experience had been wanting to fly emirates to Dubai for long time. Thank you to all the staff.
everything was great , perhaps lower pricing and more miles incentive and prolong expiration of miles
Enjoyed it very much, excellent aircraft, excellent flight attendants. I will be happy to fly Emirates Air again.
Good service. I wish there was more legroom. The food could be improved with additional options.
The crew was very attentive and delivered great service unlike any other airline. It was our first time with Emirates. Our only critique is the food. Pasta pesto is not very common. Tomato sauce would’ve been more of a crowd pleaser. Beef curry sounds bad because curry can be very tough on the stomach. We were in row 26 and the pasta ran out, meaning no one wanted the beef which says something. The beef was just ok… The rest of the food was very good and generous. The plane speaker sound could be better. It was tough to understand announcements even with headphones. Although we did not need them this time due to the purpose of our trip, we were surprised that 2 checked bags were included. That’d be great for the future. It was unpleasant though that our personal items were weighed (we’ve never had another airline do this), especially when we didn’t have checked bags and almost had our carry-ons checked. Overall it was a good experience, but we wish the prices were friendlier for such a short distance (Miami > Colombia).
It was very exlent flight and thanks a lot kayak
Flight was cancelled without notification. Information on flight status was not available on Emirates's website.
I love to travel again and again in Emirates. Keep up the good work.
The stewardess took a picture as a gift , if you asked for it. Every thing was very good, Especially the food, big and tasty. The service was good, they served water several times, very frequent.
I liked the newer aircraft CRJ-550 since it had WIFI and the seats are more spacious.
Comfortable economy seats, good food. Didn't like: there was a crying and noisy 2 yr old directly behind me.. finally I found an attendant and asked for ear plugs. That part was good. It would have been better for an attendant to come around with a basket of ear plugs... All in all it was excellent.
worst experience ever, they cancelled my very long 2 flight 20hours+flying time trip 8 hours before departure. The only options given were change of dates. the customer line was the worst with a wait of around 30 minutes each time you called to talk to an agent who couldnt help much anyways. :eft me scrambling to cancel and book an entirely new itinerary with other airlines. Worst ever and will not consider Cathay pacific anytime in the future
The biggest problem was that I originally had a seat in the first row of premium economy as I had booked months earlier. I checked in and my boarding pass showed the seat in the first row as I had specified. When I got to the gate, the agent took my boarding pass and changed my seat to one in the last row in premium economy against the window. I had specifically booked the first row early for the legroom and for my ability to easily get out and use the restroom when I needed, since I do that quite often. The gate agents explanation was that the food tray on the seat in the first row was not working, so they gave me the seat in the last row. However, when I got on the plane, somebody was sitting in my original seat, and they sat there for the whole 14-hour flight with the tray working perfectly well. I was cheated by someone at the Cathay gate in Hong Kong. It was an outright, unforgivable lie by the gate agent or someone else at Cathay Pacific. I think this is very poor and inexcusable conduct by the people at Cathay Pacific. Perhaps somebody paid the gate agent extra money (bribe)to switch my seat and make it very difficult for me, or something else, but t was a sad experience and a very negative mark on Cathay Pacific.
Good. However the passenger in the search next to mine kept coughing. When we landed in Dallas we had to pick up.bags instead of going strait to the destination (which passengers do in Atlanta)
In between two meals period they're not providing something like banana / cup noodles or bugger. It's really fell sad that I was asking have to wait for 3 hours for second meal. (breakfast)
The crew are timely, friendly and professional. I was very impressed.
They overbooked the flight and reassigned my seat. To add insult they lied that my assigned seat was broken and promptly gave it to someone else
Jain veg meal I opted was super in taste but there was no sweet/desserts with it. I was a big missing in the meal...Please add some sweets to end the meal with 😊
The meat-and-rice combination was a good idea, but the food could use some improvement. The meat looked a bit mushy and almost like ground meat, which wasn’t very appetizing, and the flavor was just average. Other than that, everything else was great.
It is too long a flight to not have free access to internet. Should not charge. Should be some hours free.
