For dinner in the MDR, we were seated with two other groups (a family of three and a mother & her son). Dinner was a pretty quiet affair - unlike other tables where strangers were making new friends, our table didn't. We just talked amongst the people we were traveling with.

On the 3rd day, the family wasn't there, so it was just us and the mother & son. My mom strikes up a conversation with the other mother (they both speak a different language). At the end of dinner, our waiter asks: You guys are one family, right?

Us & Them: No, we're not.

Waiter: But you guys have the same last name?

Us & Them: What, we do?! Wait, what's your last name?

It was pretty funny. I'm not sure why the waiter would have assumed we were 1 family since we did not talk to each other for the 1st 2 days.

We are planning a trip to SE Asia and EVA Air, a Taiwan airline, has been suggested and it appears to be less expensive than Singapore, Cathay Pacific, etc.

I know you get what you pay for but could anyone relate their experiences with EVA, both in economy and Business.

Thanks.

I haven't flown on EVA before, but my boss does when he flies to Taiwan which is quite often (though he usually flies 1st or business class when he can). He travels a lot and for domestic flights, he uses United, but for trips to Taiwan, it's EVA Air.

EVA is 1 of the 2 Taiwanese airlines (the other being China Airlines) and has a pretty good safety record. Since I haven't flown on EVA before, I can't speak towards the service, but I imagine it is pretty good.

I know - my two cents isn't very helpful!
