Does anybody know anything about this aurline and their business class -
I have to go to a trade fair possible in October in BKK and their fares are very competitive and as you all know big savings cannot be ignored. Ba are coming in at around 3k euros return - Thai are just mad - Qantas are the same as BA- Eva are in at 2200p/p -

Are there better sites to maybe get better fares from BA rather than BA themselves - Heard there is a site offering 2 for 1 somehwere but cannot find same

EVA have a pretty good interactive demo on their website - forget that it says B777 - even if it's the B747 it'll still be Premium Laurel Class in J from LHR.

Basically it's lie flat(ish) angled seats.

I put a trip report of their W class on this site from Nov 07.

I don't know which agency you are using but we buy Eva from http://www.ourstravel.com/new/ who are a Taiwanese Specialist and have some of the best fares out there. I got business to BKK for about 1200 a few weeks ago.
Kelly is very good and she usually answers the phone.

Actually don't forget that it says 777 not 747, the T7 has a very different cabin to the 744, I would do a quick scan off a'net as there are a few EVA trip reports.

Now if it was me, I would look at Thai as they do have a very nice J cabin.

Scrooge that's what I meant - the video says 777 but ignore it - they're both the same interior - one just has a few more seats.

Gulf, Emirates, Etihad and Qatar all have good deals to BKK... but you have to make a stopover in the Middle east en route. Of course, if you fly with Gulf then you get VS miles and points :)

Flying from Dublin would mean a double stop over with Gulf / Qatar / Emirates - Only Etihad fly direct out of Dublin Vis the middle east or we fly into London / Paris / Europe and then straight onto BKK

Are you sure, I was under the impression that the 744's kept the old seats while the T7's had a new version of the seats ?

Off to A'Net I go.

Take a look here LINK for the 744 seat and here LINK for the T7
