It’s official! Eva Airlines<\/a> – and all of their Hello Kitty planes – have joined the Star Alliance. Now, you too can fly Hello Kitty using your Star Alliance miles. Kids, and kids at heart are all rejoicing today. \u00a0From the Star Alliance website I learned that\u00a0EVA’s hub, Taiwan, is the shortest average geographic distance from every major city in the Asia-\u00ad\u2010Pacific region, making it especially convenient for travelers making connections. \u00a0Interesting fact that I wasn’t aware of.<\/p>\n

If you remember, I had the unique opportunity to fly on one of Eva’s Hello Kitty jets. While I would never, ever fly Hello Kitty again, I would absolutely fly Eva. \u00a0The crew and staff were all very helpful, the planes are similar to what you’ll find in the region on comparable airlines.<\/p>\n
