Just wondering as it seems I will be going with them and its the first I ever heard of them.

Whats the service like?
The food, drinks, waiting time etc. Have they a good flight record or are they second rate?

Just curious.

(edited. I hope for the better. I hate having mind melt downs, the words just dont look right written down anymore.) I have been here too long I think).

If you could get past the fact that I have now been in Korea so long that certain words don't easily come to mind and I was in a rush. And only answer if you have some information and are not the grammar police.

Mind you it got some one to read it.

Well you flew with them once, so how do they compare to Singapore air or Korean Air?

I flew them and I liked them. Brand new airplanes and good food. Some of the pilots are English people. I honestly have no complaints and they are always one of the cheapest. However, I heard that on some of the flights to North America they don't have the entertainment system at your seat, but I haven't done this leg of the trip with them.

Back to the topic,

I have flown on EVA air flights four times. I like them except for these two things:

Yes, they are cheaper than all the other airlines, however, there is always a stop in Taiwan and usually it is overnight. At that point, any money you save is eaten up by hotel rooms (a cheap motel, 200 NT from the airport is about $60.00) to and from.

If you fly the economy seats, your airmiles are only given at 75% of the airmiles rate...which seems kind of shoddy and cheap of them.

I doubt that I will be flying with them again. I will spend an extra $150,000 won and go via Philippine air or Thai air.

Thanks for the guys who provided advice on the flights. My school is the one that booked me with them. I am lucky in that it is only a 1 hr stop over in Taiwan, so that is good.

I hope that they have seat entertainment systems on my flight as it makes a long haul so much more enjoyable when you can choose your own movie like SIA allows.

Thanks again.

Did a trip to Taiwan with them.

Pretty good. Had of those little TVs on the back of the seat in front of you with a good selection of recent movies. Food was Ok, quite cheap as well.

I flew with them to Canada this summer. Good airplanes, good food, lots of booze, nice people. There's TVs and video games in each seat.

Two caveats is that layover in that infernally boring airport in Taipei, and no TVs on the cross-Atlantic flights. But for a shorter flight they're fine, and even for a long flight I'll take them any nanosecond over Air Canada.
