Eva 747

Have just seen this on another forum and thought it might be of some interest following the EVA thread of earlier.

Nice.... but most of the airlines I flew on 747's of different sub-series have their economy (cattle) class set up as 3-4-3.

Ive just seen a flight with eva for 445 pounds in maynext year plus £20 pound off as well so 424 is that a great deal or what??? im thinking of booking right now !

Myself i have flown with Thai airways, Eva Air and also Quatas

Well forget Quatas the flight was a drop off in Bangkok for me as carried mostly people going to Australia. Now not Australian but i was stuck next to a mother whose daughter had emigrated trust me by the time i got to bangkok the full history, her family history the photo's what the brother law had for lunch, it was a long flight for me....'' i would never fly Quatas again Only direct flights for me.

Anyways, Thai airways i liked but Eva do a very good all round service i'm going in December with them gone the extra for Business Class and am really looking forward it. For me Eva Air is my choice.

Hopefully this won't lead to them cutting the number of flights...I mean, the LHR-BKK route is not exactly jam-packed for 95% of the year and they obviously want to make use of the extra passenger space/make good on the investment.

I booked the same deal so I hope its a bargin..... its a fair price for a direct flight, up to you if you want to play a waiting game and maybe get a small saving via middle east stop off

i decided to wait a bit due to work etc, this year in june i got eva air for £404 which was a joke, im flying direct not stopping over this time,

time is of the essence and i dont want to waste it, ill pay 450 no problem .

Ive hear in may its not bad weatehr either , ive been ain june and it was quite hot and some shower but nice anyway

Just gotta sort the temperature out in the new airport ! Amazed how warm it is in there

I'm confused as EVA flights are direct London to Bangkok aren't they?

[Swishtz]

yes direct

[Icebox]

yes i meant to say i wont be flying indirect if i can help it , my eva flight in june took only 10.5hrs which is great im used to long flights but i can be bothered to change in qatar, dubai etc , as time is more important now then a few extra pounds
