What makes the best 賞与金 economy cabin in the world so special? I'm 搭乗 an EVA 空気/公表する flight to find out.
The Taiwanese 航空機による 受託するd the 'best 賞与金 economy' トロフィー at the most 最近の ‘Oscars of 航空’ - the 年次の Skytrax World 航空機による Awards. Not only that but it was 指名するd the world’s ninth-best 航空機による.
Its 関係 to 賞与金 economy run 深い. EVA 空気/公表する is credited as the first 航空機による to 開始する,打ち上げる 賞与金 economy class, introducing the game-changing cabin to the skies in the 早期に 1990s.
In 実験(する)ing out this prize-winning service, I'm travelling with my partner from the 航空機による’s 中心, northern Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport, on a 3hr 25min flight to 売春婦 Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Once we arrive at the airport, dread 始める,決めるs in at the sight of the enormous 列 for check-in. Thankfully, it's short-lived.

An EVA 空気/公表する 乗組員 member helpfully points me in the direction of the 指定するd section for 賞与金 economy check-in, where the 列 障壁s are 完全に 列-解放する/自由な. An attendant 速く checks us in and we’re on our way in under 10 minutes.
There's a かなりの price difference between economy and 賞与金 economy - an economy ticket starts at TWD 4,925 (£122/$156) for the 大勝する we’re 飛行機で行くing, while 賞与金 economy is more than 二塁打 that at TWD 13,052 (£324/$413). にもかかわらず the bump in price, 賞与金 economy 乗客s don't enjoy either lounge 接近 or 優先 搭乗, resulting in a なぎ in the 訴訟/進行s once we’re through 安全.
However, when we board the 計画(する) - a Boeing 777 - the 賞与金 economy ticket 証明するs its 価値(がある).
Cream curtains separate the 64-seat 賞与金 economy cabin from the 支援する of the 計画(する). With a design finish 工夫するd by Teague, it’s a tasteful cocoon 相殺する by soft lighting and a coffee-トンd colour palette.

Tan and tangerine seats with adjustable headrests are laid out in eight 列/漕ぐ/騒動s in a 2-4-2 layout. My window seat, 22K, is exceptionally comfortable, with a generous seating space 手段ing 38in (97cm) long and 19.5in (50cm) wide. My 6ft 1in partner says that he feels he has ‘二塁打 the space’ he 普通は enjoys in economy class. Even though the man in 前線 of me reclines his seat for the whole flight, I never feel cramped.
An adjustable footrest 減少(する)s 負かす/撃墜する from the seat in 前線. A little (米)棚上げする/(英)提議する for drinks sits between seats, while larger (米)棚上げする/(英)提議するs are hidden away in armrests. There are USB sockets and Wi-Fi, which is slow, but 解放する/自由な for 30 minutes.
Flight attendants 手渡す out 厚い fleece 一面に覆う/毛布s as they attentively patrol the cabin. We don't get an amenity 道具, as they're reserved for 夜通し flights. Refreshing towels, however, are 現在のd to each 乗客, and I find lotions from French beauty brand Payot in the bat hrooms.

To drink, Ailbhe is served a 'rich' glass of 2021 Cuv?e Dissenay Chardonnay, which 小売s at around £11 ($14)
The bathrooms themselves are standout - they’re spotless and decked out with a 十分な-length mirror, beauty lights and flowers (albeit 偽の ones).
A decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones is tucked in the seat pocket, ready for hooking up to inflight entertainment.
The 11in (28cm) touch 審査する is nothing exceptional ーに関して/ーの点でs of size, but the ‘星/主役にする Gallery’ film 選択 is excellent, with lots of new 解放(する)s and some 広大な/多数の/重要な Taiwanese cinema 選択s.
A clever 新規加入 is the 'mood' 道具, which 示唆するs films based on how 乗客s are feeling. When I say I'm feeling 'curious', it puts 今後 the 最新の Marvel movie; for those in a 'sleepy' mood, Nick Cage’s new flick Dream シナリオ is の中で the suggestions.

No movie 軽食s are 手渡すd out, but lunch is a serious spread. A two-選択 menu is 現在のd - I 選ぶ for chicken in ginger-infused soy sauce with steamed rice. I’m impressed by the fish plate on the 味方する, laden with smoked salmon, marinated squid and prawns. Creamy vanilla panna cotta makes for a moreish dessert. To drink, I’m served a rich glass of 2021 Cuv?e Dissenay Chardonnay, which 小売s at around £11 ($14).
Proper silverware, glassware and eco-friendly bamboo napkins elevate the experience. Lending a touch of retro glamour, flight attendants wear Wes Anderson-esque pastel pinnies over their uniforms during food service.
It all lives up to the 航空機による’s 英貨の/純銀の culinary 評判 - EVA 空気/公表する took home a separate prize for ‘best 賞与金 economy c atering’ at the Skytrax awards.

During the flight, we had watched the new Wonka film, in which Timoth?e Chalamet’s Willy Wonka is 手渡すd a 賞与金 economy ticket for a North 政治家-bound boat.
In the scene, comedian Matt Lucas's character critiques 賞与金 economy, 説: 'It's 基本的に economy. Yeah, you get a little more 脚 room, a complimentary packet of peanuts, but is it 価値(がある) the extra? I don't know...'
That's certainly not true of EVA 空気/公表する’s 賞与金 economy 申し込む/申し出ing. Sophisticated, 強調する/ストレス-解放する/自由な and ultra-comfortable, it’s worlds away from an economy-class experience - making it 価値(がある) every penny to 昇格.
