Eva Air flight Taipei to Seattle on economy class

This was my first time taking Eva Air on long haul flight from Taipei to Seattle, USA. The journey were around 12 hours 40 minutes on Boeing jumbo 747-200 aircraft. I was quite surprise that the flight were almost full. Overall the flight is good and their flight stewardess are quite attentive and helpful. Food wise, they need to have improvement.

Rating:7/10(Moderate. The aircraft is old and the food served were just moderate. Don't take their cheese omelette as it was tasteless. Seating wise is comfortable enough for long distance flight).


Spicy stewed chicken rice with vegetables.

The stewed chicken were good.

Cheese omelette. The croissant were good. However, the cheese omelette is tasteless.

The sausage covered with cheese were small.

Good timing reaching Seattle when sunset.

Beautiful purple and blue skies hue.

Beautiful mount Rainier during sunset. Perfect timing.

Huge Boeing 747 aircraft. However the seating and aircraft is old.

Kuala Lumpur to London on Economy Class Malaysia Airlines A380

In total, the A380 aircraft will carry 494 passengers which are divided into three classes. First, Business and Economy where eight seats will be allocated for the First Class Cabins, 66 Business Class seats with flat bed seats and 420 Economy Seats. The main deck will hold 350 Economy seats and the upper deck will carry 70 Economy Seats which are located at the rear of the aircraft. Malaysia Airlines is the only carrier to offer direct nonstop services between UK and Malaysia with the flight time of 12 hours and 45 minutes. With two A380 serving this route with twice daily flight, it has the good capacity for travelling with good timing on MH2 and MH3. On MH2, you will be travelling midnight from Malaysia and reach London in the early morning while MH3 allows you to come back as soon as checking out from the hotel. While the MH1 and MH4 which is not so popular will give you higher chances of getting empty seat beside your seat for better sleeping position. The overall experience on the flight was good and the flight is stable throughout the journey. The number of toilet is good as well. The food is good and in my opinion, the best dish among all the food serve for this flight is the chicken beriani rice. The inflight entertainment is good as the device is still new with crisp sharp movies and documentary.


Welcoming video.

Aircraft prepare to take off. The live view is cool.

Huge wing span on the air.

Plenty of empty seats on the flight that I took. So my seat is comparable to business class :-)

Beef stew with broccoli and potatoes.

Chicken stew with pepper and potatoes.

Snack pack.

Chicken beriani rice.

The beriani rice is delicious. This meal is for coming back London to Kuala Lumpur.


Tuna lasagne with carrot. Taste a bit fishy but not that bad. This meal is for coming back London to Kuala Lumpur.

Spacious plane and its huge.

Looking for direction to underground tube train service.

Posing with London tube Heathrow terminal 4 signboard :-) Waiting to travel to London city centre using the cheapest option available - The Piccadilly line. The journey will takes around 40 minutes to Green Park.
