10000km, 12 hours, 2 meals, and a cousin

Eva Air Flight 25 was definitely better than some other flights that I've had. There were the usual lows (cramped spaces, crappy food, bathroom lines, etc.) but there were plenty of highs that kept the stress down and flight bearable.


The accomodations were pretty nice for a coach seat.

Blankets and pillows were soft and clean, and to keep you comfortable they even provided some slippers to use while you kicked your shoes off:



















Best of all, the individualized entertainment system was pretty cool:















That's me checking out the nifty controller. One side was a phone while the other side had a controller that could be used to control the screen in front of the passenger. Each station could broadcast movies, games, tv, and info as the user requested so I definitely took advantage of it. YesMan was pretty good as was Role Models. Benjamin Button was better in the theaters, but it did help me get back to sleep.

The lows were pretty standard. Food was mediocre at best. Take for instance the breakfast below:


Pros for fruit and yogurt, but the actual food was pretty bad. Sausage, eggs, and a soggy hashbrown. Jenny's care package got us through it all.

Other than the food though, I don't know how a coach ticket could get much better.
