fredob43 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) HEADS UP. I have just traveled back to BKK from London with EVA Elite class, as usual I booked a 1 year open return ticket. On arrival in BKK I found out that EVA have changed their set up, I can now change the return date but not as usual free of charge now it will cost £75 add to this the increase of £88 on the inital cost from the last time I used them on the 4th November 2012 that equate's to a total increase of 13.6% in 5 month's So what did I get for my monies total £1,363. Well a bigger seat that was ok............+ They EVA had changed my boarding pass to economy so for the first time in over 7 year's I couldn't use the fast track in London, that normally would not have been a problem except that it was Easter monday and all hell had broken out in Heathrow. The 25kg of luggage thank's a bunch, the inedible so called food, and not once were any drink's offered during the flight. I just cant wait to travel back on the return leg. Note to self stock up on goodies before I leave. Look's like it'll have to be a 1 stopper from now on, as there isn't much left BA they are always on strike. Thai air and their 50 year old plane's + they don't do Elite class and their food is even worse. Happy new year everyone.

FalangBaa Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Yeah, terrible isn't it? But at least with EVA Airline's you still get free grocers' apostrophes. Other airlines cut them out years ago. Edited April 19, 2013 by FalangBaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Well you might not have to worry about the return flight if the info about the routing possibly being dropped turns out to be the case. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/631463-eva-airways-london-bangkok-economy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I await the details, N/B the last time I flew Emirates '1 stop' biz one way was 7 year's ago and it was nearly £800 then must admit there lounge was fantastic. Glad to hear that they have now reduced their cost by about half since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cheap if it's Biz, The best biz I have found non stop is well over £2,000 and that was for a 1 month duration and on a special in low season. Well look's like we will all find out soon as chivas seem's to have ALL the answer's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
