I booked a one-way economy class flight on Eva Air from Los Angeles to Taipei (LAX-TPE) using 32,500 United Airlines miles + $2.50 in taxes. I got to the airport a few hours early and was able to talk a kind Eva Airlines agent into assigning me an exit row aisle seat. The flight from Los Angeles to Taipei was a whopping 14 hours.<\/p>\n

The Eva Air Boeing 777-300ER (773 Extended Range) was in a 3-3-3 configuration in the Economy Class cabin.<\/p>\n

\"evaairlaxtpe1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I took my exit row aisle seat 45H and there was plenty of legroom.<\/p>\n

\"evaairlaxtpe2\"<\/a> \"evaairlaxtpe3\"<\/a> \"evaairlaxtpe4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was shocked that there was an economy class amenity kit containing headphones, an eye mask, and a pair of slippers.<\/p>\n

\"evaairlaxtpe5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the flight reached cruising altitude, the flight attendant came by with a laminated placard that said \u201cchicken or pasta\u201d with pictures of each dish. I went with the chicken dish and was pleasantly surprised. The entr\u00e9e was chicken with curry, rice, and steamed vegetables. It was also served with a cold appetizer, bread, fresh fruit, and a dessert cake. The food was actually delicious and the bread was actually hot!<\/p>\n

\"evaairlaxtpe6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two hours passed by and I knocked out for a few hours. By the time I woke up, there was still 9 hours left on the flight. Every hour and a half, a flight attendant would pass by the aisles with a tray of water, orange juice, and apple juice. Packaged savory snacks were also handed out in the same time frame. There was a back galley where snacks and liquids were set up for anyone to grab. I watched a few movies and went back to sleep.<\/p>\n

Two hours prior to landing, the flight attendant served a breakfast choice of omelet or pork porridge (jook). I had the pork porridge which was served with a packet of fish floss (flakes), bean sprouts, peaches, and bread. Again, the bread was hot unlike other economy class flights where the bread is rock hard.<\/p>\n

\"evaairlaxtpe7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were two things that ultimately made this flight smooth and enjoyable for me, which was an exit row seat with unlimited legroom and no seatmates. It turned out that I had no neighbors sitting beside me throughout the duration of the flight. Unfortunately the armrests didn\u2019t go up due to it being an exit row, so I couldn\u2019t ghetto lie flat (poor man\u2019s business class). I felt real fortunate, as it could\u2019ve been worse. Next time I might not be so fortunate on a 14-hour nonstop flight.<\/p>\n
