Purchased a ticket on Eva

For what this might be worth..

 

Spent the entire summer in Pattaya and been home for four weeks and had the Pattaya blues.  For the last four weeks I've been checking airfares going to Pattaya from N.Y. around x-mas vacation.  The lowest fare I was able to find was $1052 on Orbitz.  I booked a flight for the 26th of Dec. on Eva airlines.  Eva has been sold out from the 19th-26th of Dec. for the last several weeks and this afternoon around 4:30pm there was an opening on the 26th.  There was an opening for economy seating for 812.00 as well as evergreen deluxe for 1071.00.  I booked the deluxe.  Here is the strange thing about this.  I was given the option of picking seats from EWR-BKK.  To Taipei there were at least 20 seats available to chose from as well as from Taipei to BKK.   Now just half an hour ago I go back on the website for EVA and check the same date of Dec. 26th and it says their sold out.  I'm really beginning to wonder if I was a fool to purchase a ticket so early.  I wonder if it truly is some marketing approach of some type that they take to see how much people are willing to pay.   I can't see how they could of sold out of 20 plus seat in evergreen deluxe (not including how many seats may have been available in economy) in just over 4 hours time.

Airfares remind me of Crazy Eddie's (audio store salesman) ad's "our prices are INSANE". Sounds like you got a more then decent price over the Xmas holiday's. I also will comare the prices to a women's moods during her period.....

.  Eva has been sold out from the 19th-26th of Dec. for the last several weeks and this afternoon around 4:30pm there was an opening on the 26th.  There was an opening for economy seating for 812.00 as well as evergreen deluxe for 1071.00.    

 

Sounds like I have to book ASAP.  I just saw $871.00 on Eva.com in Evergreen Deluxe for early March.  I think $1071.00 in Evergreen Deluxe isn't too bad, Eva is a great airline.   I am a Member of Evergreen Deluxe,  I like the Evergreen Deluxe lounge in Taipei.   Eva has some cute flight Attendents, one of these times I might have to rub one out in the bathroom (just kidding) .

  I also have the LOS blues, I just got back 2 weeks ago and I have to wait about 5 months to go back.  

cheers

This will be my first time riding in the Deluxe section with Eva and I look forward to it.  The arrival time is great.  I arrive 11am.  When it comes time of departure, I depart at noon time.  I just priced a ticket for May in the economy level and Eva is asking 730.00 not including the tax.  I will say that the more I go to Thailand the hardest it is coming back.  I wish December was here now!!!!!

Definately not a bad price for that date. I have been looking and can't find anything under $1000 for late december departure from Kentucky. Last Xmas - New Years cost me $1300.

The only price I found under 1000 dollars was on Eva departing on the 28th,29th of December.  It was the economy seating prices at $812.00.  I'm not patient enough to wait til the 29th.  I'm not were from Kentucky your from but here is a list of websites that may be helpful for you.

The best price I could find on Eva for a February departure from Seattle was $960 for Deluxe class
