EVA Air’s Elite Class premium economy is the 2011 Magellan Award Gold winner in the economy class category for international carriers in Travel Weekly’s prestigious annual recognition of the best in travel. Presented with the theme, Economy Becomes a Pleasure, the cabin was selected by a panel of travel-industry professionals. EVA illustrated its exceptional Seating, Entertainment & Communication, Cuisine and Thoughtful Service elements by using an Elite Class Interactive Demo.
EVA was one of the first airlines ever to give passengers a choice in-between economy and business. It introduced premium economy on its first flight to North America in December 1992. By consistently improving and upgrading Elite Class, EVA has kept seats in high demand among both business and leisure travelers.
Elite Class is similar to domestic business in service, comfort and amenities, providing wider seats and more legroom than in Economy. Cabin service includes a menu of beverages and seasonal Western and Asian foods, from Haagen-Dazs ice cream to Taiwanese treats. Friendly cabin crews tidy lavatories in-flight. Passengers check in at Elite Class counters and have a two-bag allowance of up to 61 lbs. per piece. Elite Class is available on all EVA flights to/from North America at competitive fares that are considerably lower than international business.
Travel Weekly and TravelWeekly.com are leading travel industry news resources. Entries in the 2011 Magellan Award competition came from top travel organizations and professionals worldwide. An award official described selection as a winner to be “a tremendous achievement that represents a high standard of excellence.”
From North American gateways in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver, EVA provides more flights to Taiwan with more easy, one-stop connections onward to more destinations in China and throughout Asia than any other airline.
