Experience on these following airlines, air china, Hong Kong, EVA Air? I've never been on any. Feedbacks most appreciated. Thanks!

My family flew on EVA Air to and from the Philippines recently. It was quite nice actually. Older planes but lots of nice touches like refreshing face spritzes in the washrooms and good food.

We used air china to go to Shanghai and found it great! Small seats of course, but that's pretty standard now.

been on all of them many times. They are all good. It's just a plane ride.

EVA was really good! Took it to Bali for my honeymoon. Only complaint is that their app is glitchy

I flew EVA air from yvr to bangkok and back in 2016 and was impressed with the airplane - lots of room, lots of entertainment options, and above average food and beverage service. I would definitely recommend this airline

Thank you, everyone and those future who will comment. Due to the approval delay, I went ahead and book on cathay pacific for yvr to bkk round trip, layover in HK both ways, just for $964 in Oct 2017.

I'm seriously considering EVA Air to Bangkok. I've heard lots of good things about EVA. It might be $70 or $80 more but it's worth to me to be comfortable and enjoy a very long flight.

Eva is great!! Hong Kong airlines is a no frills airline which is ok for short flights but no long. I have a good friend who just flew with them and she wouldn't again. Cathay is a great airline!!!

I took Cathay to Bangkok 6 years ago. Great airline with excellent service. EVA is not quite as expensive these days.

Eva was fantastic last year when we went to the Philippines. We got a decent deal found through here (YVR deals) and were really impressed at how pleasant the staff and flights themselves were.
We are going back to the Philippines in February and are flying on air china so we'll see how that is.
but with the deal we got we couldn't say no. I'd tolerate a crappy flight for the deal!

Eva is wonderful, for an additional reasonable $$ you can upgrade to a level below "Business Class" but with Business Class seats and treats for a very comfortable trip. Much cheaper out of Seattle on the flights we've done with them. Have fun!

Took Eva from Vancouver to Taiwan and then to Indonesia was overall a great experience lots of food and drink and the ppl where super nice no delays.

EVA is great. Would high recommend.

Eva is the best out of the 3.

Eva air is great. Flew to the Philippines and back. Efficient decent food small seats tho but manageable.

Can't use phone even air mode by air china. But ok for tablet.

EVA air was awesome
)

air china - had zero legroom, very limited alcohol. like 1/4 cup of wine when i asked for a glass of wine. Limited understanding of English. Not allowed to use smartphones at all.. but tablets are ok? Anything going through china WILL be delayed and have spent number of flights sitting on the tarmac but unable to depart. Frustrating!

EVA is great, air china and china eastern are very cramped, and not very heavy on service. Hong Kong is fine.

Eva air was amazing!

We had a great EVA Air experience. YVR-Taipei-Hanoi, then Saigon-YVR

Went from Jakarta-Taipei-Vancouver 10 years ago with EVA, the economy class seat was too cramp. I am quite small and the seat is just my size. That was 10 years ago tho, unsure now. Not big fan of the food though. I like CX better although the price is quite something, it will never go lower than $1,300 to Jakarta, maybe similar pricing to Southeast Asia destinations as well, and depend on the season. I like CX as the seat is comfy for long flight (13 hrs to HK and connecting to Jakarta for another 4 hrs). I have never been with air china but China Airlines. It stopped in Taipei, price is lower than CX, quite comfy but not a big fan of the food. Japan Air is quite cheap, you can get it under $1,000 to fly to Asia in certain months. Hope this helps!

General rule is to avoid Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Russian and American carriers at all costs.
EVA Air is a five star airline (of nine in the world), and is a Star Alliance / air canada partner. It is comparable to Korean, Asiana, and Thai. air china is also Star Alliance, but quality can vary. Hong Kong is owned by the parent group of hainan airlines, and is comparable to Air China.
Of course if cathay pacific, Japan, ANA, or Singapore becomes an option, always jump on those.

They're all the same, minute details.. grab the best deal & times that work best. I've had some great flights on Chinese airlines, can't bulk them together as being bad.

cathay pacific it the best airline goiing to Asia from Vancouver

What about Eastern China Airlines?

Just flew with Eva few months ago to Thailand. Great airline. air china is ok, and have great prices to Beijing.

Just flew To Hong Kong with EVA Airlines. Service and Food are ok. It got me to my destination with minimal delays so I'm happy with them.

Eva Air is good, I would never fly with air china or HK Air. Too risky to fly long haul with small airlines.

I've been doing my research for a flight to Bangkok...its seems to me EVA Airlines is the best of the three.

My husband just flew on Cathay. He was very disappointed. We have flown CX and Emirates regularly and now wont be flying CX. It just wasn't the service that had gone downhill but he did notice a lack of service for extras, snacks, etc. Unfortunate as we have always flown CX from YVR

We love the westcoast of Florida on tye Gulf of Mexico....warm water...gorgeous beaches

air china is fine. Use the 787. Expect to find it packed. Layover at airports usually are 5-7 hours if on ward travel. Eva Air is good also.

EVA air is the best amongst the 3 airlines you have mentioned. I have flown them and their service is great.

EVA air was great when we flew!!

Eva is awesome!!

EVA is the only one I would fly on based on safety ratings. They are mid priced, often less than Cathay which is a very safe airline.

Flew air china to Vietnam from Yvr in Dec. 2016 returning Mar 2017. Airport staff not friendly, but flight crew excellent on all 4 segments. Large, comfortable planes.

Flew EVA to Vietnam from YVR - good airline and they even returned my ipad which I had left on the plane!

I've flown on both air china and EVA in economy class out of YVR and they are both pretty similar. I flew air china to Thailand and I would fly with them again any time. I didn't have any issues with them. Their staff at YVR were amazingly good to me. Food wasn't bad and the service was fine. One thing with air china (as with china eastern), you cannot use your cell phone on the flight even it is in airplane mode. They were pretty strict about this. I have an iPod and after explaining to them it wasn't a cellphone they were fine with it. But yeah, that can be a real pain in the ass for people.
EVA was a great experience even though I was horribly sick. I flew with them to Hong Kong back when they had the 747 out of YVR. One thing about EVA. If you're on a connecting flight out of TPE with them and you choose to select your seats. You can sometimes pick premium economy seats (use seatguru for help with that) at the same price as an economy seat. I don't know how this works, but my guess is on short flights on the 777 they don't bother selling premium economy tickets.

Eva air was excellent!!

EVA air

Eva air very good

Flying to Bangkok in March. We booked with EVA, they had great reviews.

Also EVA air had the best vegan meals out of any airline we flew, if that is pertinent info to anyone! I think the company owner is vegetarian or something like that but oh man the food was good!!

EVA! went to Jakarta last February with them will definitely use them again. air china is kinda hit and miss
