TimeOut

On my flight out to Asia, I had a chance to visit the Star Alliance Lounge at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Located on level 6, the lounge has been remodeled last year so I was excited to check it out. Once I got past the security screening...  

It was a short walk to the Gate from the Star Alliance lounge. Our aircraft for this flight, a Boeing 777 We were greeted by the smiling EVA Air flight attendants and led to our seats... My companion for this flight, my AP Royal Oak Offshore: Complimentar...  

The EVA Air Royal Laurel inflight dining experience... A few days prior to your flight, you can log in online to your EVA account and select your meal. For my flight I had these choices: Jidori Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Served with Seasonal Vegetables a...  

When we arrived into Taipei from Los Angeles, it was raining heavily: EVA Air partners with Hello Kitty and as you can tell it was all over the place! The EVA AIr lounge at Taipei was nice. Staff was friendly and the food selection was good. The lounge wa...  

Now we're off to one of my favorite cities to visit...Hong Kong! As you can see it was a rainy day in Taipei: Our menus: Castelnau was the champagne served on EVA Air Flight BR891: List of spirits: The Fresh Fruit consists of Pineapple, Dragon Fruit, Qiwi...

even in the poor man's economy class, its great service and decent seating... looks like much to look froward to when the kids are out of the house..LOL

Hello ocwatching, Since you always fly EVA you should be racking up frequent miles, pretty soon you'll have a Royal Class ticket for you and the mrs.! HAGWE! -MW ...  

Lufthansa's First Class Terminal in Frankfurt is still my favorite lounge in the world. Getting driven to the airplane in a car and driven from the airplane in a car is a great benefit and time saver. Plus you don't have to navigate the large airport. I w... 

I haven't taken the TPE to HKG, but I have done SFO to TPE. EVA is great. Thanks for sharing your experience! Looks like you are on your way to a good trip!

Must be nice flying with the lie flat seating. Food looks pretty good too. I heard that EVA air served some dishes from Din Tai Fung? That would be cool. Regards, ED-209

I believe that the outbound flights from Taipei have the DinTaiFung option. Overall the food on EVA Air was ok. The Wagyu Beef Tenderloin sounded really good but from people I know who actually flew on this route said it was overcooked/well done. :( -MW ...  

Flying in Royal Laurel Class Service is actually technically a Business Class fare. You pay business class money or mileage. And you can upgrade with a system-wide upgrade if you have an upgradeable economy class ticket. But the amazing part is that EVA's... 

The terrace in the lounge seems to be a pleasant place to relax… And the comforts of the flight are evident. Pimpin´ain´t easy, but you make it appear otherwise :-P Happy to see you enjoyed your vacations! Best, Alex

To be able to meet cool and interesting people from the world over. The watches are just cherry on the cake ;-) As far as travels this year, for the time being I just have a trip to the beach come spring break planned, but I am working on being able to ta... 

We're fortunate to have a good worldwide group here on the PuristS. We're still trying to make our way to the Big Texan in Amarillo to do the steak challenge LOL! Got a few trips planned this year. Was going to go to the East coast but things got cancelle...
