I'll be going back end of October, so might be interested, does West East have an Online facility, problem with the phone number is that it can only be dialed in the UK, or do they have a number that is a regular one

[marleyboy 140]

they have a website where you can book online, but the fare for £888 isnt published on their web-site yet! but you can just tell them the fare youre interested in and e-mail them! good luck!

What a difference three weeks makes. Just tried to book a trip with East West for late August and the best price was £1550 which they still had the gall to call a " promotional fare".

Just had a reply back from them that the offer runs until the end of December. I'd be surprised tho', if you manage to get a booking for the offer price during the EVA "Peak Season" (4 Dec ~ 31 Dec)

Thanks for the info.

 

Bloody good deal if it's as available as they would have us believe.

[CheshireTom 1,377]

monkeyman,

 

I just checked now to book my mother out (don't ask! ) 10-24 Nov (Thu to Thu). No problem with availability. I would assume that if you are looking for seats on Sat/Sun then they may be a bit thinner on the ground.

Tom, I was just wondering .............

[eltib 54]

Ahhh you lucky limeys... I still have to fly that friggen 747 from LAX to TPE. There will be no 777 service from LAX until they retire all their 747s.

[monkeyman 1,604]

Just booked for September at £888, no problems.

 

Best to book over the phone as they've got a huge backlog of emails at the moment.

 

be seeing you

monkeyman,

 

Will you let us know what the premium laurel is like and, if you can lower yourself to mix with the peasants, what the new ED is like.

 

Cheers,

Tom,

 

From past experience on their A-330, I'll tell you it's great. Better than Business, and a little less legroon than first.

Got a top hat I can wear to make up the distance?

[marleyboy 140]

ive been phoning around to try and get a flight for october time, ive been quoted prices for evergreen deluxe with eva? i thought that with the new plane there was only going to be two classes? economy and premium laurel class?

im quite tempted to book evergreen deluxe and see if they up-grade me to premium laurel class?!!

[CheshireTom 1,377]

marleyboy,

 

The new 777s will be fitted for 42 Business Class, 63 Evergreen Deluxe and 211 Economy.

 

I understand the first of the new aircraft is due off the production line in the next couple of weeks for testing etc prior to delivery to EVA so hopefully some pics and more details of the new cabins will appear shortly afterwards.

 

Tom

[marleyboy 140]

ok cheers for that tom! im still undecided as to who to fly with! i guess ill have to wait a bit longer! i normally go with thai as im in royal orchid, but they are still expensive, so i will wait, im really tempted to go with the £888, eva special, as im going alone this time but im not too sure!

[Martini 1]

I intend to call them tomorrow, it looks like a good deal to me..

Seating configs for EVA's B773ER according to Sabre seat maps:

 

Premium Laurel (Business) is 2-2-2.

 

Evergreen Deluxe is 2-4-2.

 

Economy Class is 3-3-3. Rows 45 and 60 (exit rows) are 3-X-3. In the rear (Rows 57, 69, 70, 71) are 2-3-2.

 

Still awaiting "official" word from EVA. Also, the first plane has been painted. I'm waiting for a pic and I'll link it here. I don't think I'll get pics of the interior, though.

[CheshireTom 1,377]

echster,

 

Thanks for that.
