Review of EVA Air flight from Taipei to Munich in Economy

Hello everyone! Welcome to the sixth part and the last part of the trip to Asia. This report will cover the flight from Taipei to Munich with EVA Air.

After arriving from Hong Kong with some delay, we went through the security check again and we found ourselves in the departure lobby. Our gate was assigned at C1.

The waiting area of gate C1 are decorated with a forest theme.

Downstairs there were already a lot of passengers waiting for boarding.

At 22:55pm, boarding was announced. I was again in number 4 of the boarding sequence.

My seat 36A, this was the last row of the first economy class section. One row behind my outbound flight from Munich to Taipei. I selected this side on the plane to avoid the direct sunlight during sunrise when we approached Europe.

Pillow, blanket and earphone were placed in advanced on the seat. No hand sanitising wipe.

At 23:16pm, it was announced that our flight time would be 14 hours and 5 minutes. We were ready to depart in a few minutes. About 5 minutes later safety demonstration video was played and then pushback was commenced afterwards. I was lucky to have the middle seat unoccupied.

While we were taxing to the runway, cabin light was dimmed. Eventually we took off from runway 05R at 23:39pm. We made a U-turn and headed towards southwest.

Soon IFE became available. The background was showing the scenery of the destination. 

I quickly went through the catering menu and here was the dinner with two choices. Beef or chicken.

And the breakfast, also came with two choices. Porridge or scrambled egg.

10 minutes after takeoff, the cabin light was turned on. again. Then I watched the first movie of the flight, No Hard Feelings.

Soon the service was started and I got myself an apple juice, but no snacks were provide this time.

One hour into the flight, I received my meal. I opted for the beef option and white wine for the drink.

A cup of tea after the meal.

After the meal, I visited the lavatory in the middle of the plane. Apart from the soap and cream, teeth brushes were available.

When I returned to my seat, the cabin light was dimmed, by that time, we were reaching Vietnam from South China Sea. Not long after that I fell asleep after finishing the movie.

I successfully slept for one and a half hour and when I woke up, we were flying over Bangladesh.

Then I started watching the second movie, The Wandering Earth II.

Somewhere in India.

In the middle of the movie, I fell asleep for another 50 minutes. At 5:44 am, I received some snacks from the crew, nuts and rice crackers.

At 6:20am, I visited the toilet at the back.

Then I went to the snack bar at the back of the plane, I grabbed myself a ham and cheese croissant and an orange juice.

30 minutes later, I fell asleep again and slept for 2 hours. I checked the flightmap again, and we were flying over Iran, south of the Caspian Sea.

At 9:35am, I finished the second movie and I managed to sleep for a further hour, when I woke up again, we were already reaching Türkiye.

Then, I started watching the third movie of the flight, Nemesis

The first ray of sunrise was soon being spotted.

At 11:16am, cabin light was turned on again. There was a small message popping up on the screen informing us the meal service would begin soon.

Then I decided to visit the lavatory again, because I knew it would be so crowded after the breakfast.

At 11:40am, breakfast cart arrived, the crew was giving out the menu card and passing on one by one, which is identical to All Nippon Airways.

I opted for the western style with Scrambled egg, sausage and potatoes. There was also a croissant.

I had a tea for the drink.
