I agree with your observations. I flew EVA Air last December, 2023. Food was amazing. Top notch service by the flight attendants who are so attentive to your needs. Attendants who love their job and who loves to serve (not chatty as I have seen in some flights that I have been in the US) They are so polite and hardworking. The lavatory was so clean from the beginning till the end of the flight. I saw the the flights attendants cleaning it up almost every hour, as I was seated in the front row. A bit more expensive, but it is SO WORTH IT. With regards to the United Polaris lounge of ORD? Really?? What a joke!
I’ve always had a stellar experience on EVA. We also flew on them from ORD as you did. The lounge situation in T5 is shameful. I like ORD in general but their international terminal for non-US carriers leaves much to be desired.
Thanks for this video. Our flight is tonight, ORD terminal 5. This is very helpful to manage our expectations. I hope the bus from T1 to T5 is only 15 minutes. We need to arrive earlier than expexted.
In my opinion EVA air offer the best business class product in the sky .. especially when it comes to the cabin crew . Some people would argue with my opinion , but we’re all entitled to our own .. their premium economy class is very good too , but the actual seat lets it down a bit .. again the crew always shine ✨ in this product too .. 🙏..
I took Cathay Pacific instead of Taiwan flights because they all take off in the middle of the night. I don’t like red-eye flights, but the service quality in Taiwan is really good.
My only issue with EVA is every time I’ve flown from Taipei back to SFO, the flight has always been a minimum of 30 minutes to an hour late in departing. Other than that, their business class is stellar.
This is my top most loved airline. I had my Chicago -Taipei-Mla flight last week and it was an excellent flight- clean-attentive crew-great food and drinks-IFE!!
EVA AIR is a great airline, and the service on this flight was excellent. If only they had done better at the boarding process. I flew EVA AIR 8 years ago in economy, and I found the food was a bit bland too.
For those who want the full EVA Air business class dining experience, you should consider taking the afternoon flights that leave SFO. You get appetizer, soup, salad, main course, cheese/fruit and dessert.
I think the only problem this flight has is the lack of a proper lounge in ORD, other than that, it's really good. I have flown 3 times on this flight this year. Food and service are just so good.
Wifi is not unlimited? boo. Ill be flying this sfo-tpe-kul-kno rt this coming May. I was trying to book SQ but the asking price jumped from one day of 9k to 12k. I just delayed 1 day to book and the pricing jumped 3k. The lack wifi really is a bummer. SQ provides unlimited wifi.
I wonder if you can use the United Airlines Polaris Lounge for this flight in ORD? For the Filipinos that live in the Chicago area they actually preferred this flight since BR55 is timed to connect to both BR271 TPE🇹🇼-MNL and BR281 TPE-CEB🇵🇭 at TPE🇹🇼. The other choices for Filipinos in ORD are ORD-MNL via HND/NRT on NH🇯🇵 or ORD-ICN-MNL/CEB on Korean Air🇰🇷

I'm not excited about the departure time of Taiwan flights either but I have no other complaints about them.

@@mytravelvlog-jc Last time I used the SAS lounge, but they closed at 9pm. For the rest of the time before boarding, I choose to sit near the gate.

It's unlikely that you would be able to because the Polaris lounge at ORD closes early (9:30pm?)
@@mytravelvlog-jc What if you took an earlier flight to ORD to make the connection time longer and be able to use the Polaris lounge before it closes?
