Simple Flying recently had the opportunity to fly with EVA Air from London Heathrow to Taoyuan International Airport, with a stop in Bangkok. The review focuses on the journey from London to Bangkok in EVA Air's Royal Laurel Class, which was introduced in 2012 and offers lie-flat business class seats.
The flight, BR68, was scheduled for 21:35 on a Sunday evening. The check-in process was smooth, and passengers could access the United Airlines lounge at Heathrow Terminal 2. Boarding was efficient for Royal Laurel fliers, who enjoyed priority boarding onto the Boeing 777-300ER.
The seat configuration featured a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout. Seat 11K offered a width of 26 inches, a pitch of 82 inches, its own power supply, USB port, and a 15.4-inch IFE screen. The seat reclines fully into a flat bed complemented by amenities such as designer pajamas and a cozy duvet.
