This Is My Experience With Eva Air!

Long-haul flights are dreadful. The stark, urbane terminals and the long nights of tiresome, cram-y seating sure work you up just thinking about it. The flights that roll over to the next morning always have some drama up their sleeves.

Then came the rescue team from Taiwan- EVA Air, which is currently one of the 10 Skytrax 5-star airlines in the world. Would you believe it if I told you it was little known even up until a few years back? It was founded in 1989.

However, I started hearing about this flight in the early 1990s when my extended family would talk about this new carrier with non-stop flights on B747-400 jets. Back then, it sounded like a story from another realm. I would hear them talk about the aroma of delicious noodles when woken up from sleep by a flight attendant as a late-night snack. I also heard of the very non-conforming Sanrio aircraft that were Hello Kitty Jets, decked out completely from the headrests to the meal cutlery. Everything featured the widely adored character.

I finally had the chance to board it. Despite all the different things that this airline was revolutionizing, the most exciting part as a young traveler still remained the all-new cabin category between the economy and the EVA Air business class. This change was surprisingly affordable, and I was willing to upgrade for my 14+ hour flight home.

Here I am going to share my experience of flying from New York to Taipei. Stay tuned because you are about to find out the hype behind Eva Air flights and a pretty up-close EVA Air Premium Economy review.

The Beginning Of EVA Air Premium Economy

The press releases from the airline say that AVA Air’s first trans-Pacific debut took place on December 12, 1992. It had four cabins, which was a first at that time. The four cabins included Super First, Super Deluxe, Economy Deluxe, and Economy. With Economy Deluxe, the airline became the first to introduce an improved economy cabin that is the Economy Deluxe.

It became a benchmark for the airline as most others took two to three decades to introduce this cabin to their list of offerings. Recently (last summer), KLM debuted its premium economy. The seat prices are reasonable with business class-like perks. My Taipei experience was very endearing to me because of its convenient pair-up of high quality and affordability. The street food, the stationery, and the convenience stores all added to my love for Taipei. The EVA Air flight was a big cherry on top because all of that now comes in an aircraft.

Three decades since its first flight, I booked the Premium Economy class for my way back to Taipei from NYC. The perks of this flight began even before I boarded it. This airline offers free shuttles from 2 Pennsylvania and 5 New Jersey locations toward JFK Airport. Dallas to Houston Airport also offers a free shuttle service. It has successfully removed one of the biggest issues of international travel, which is simply getting to the airport.

I took a $20 Uber to the Jersey City stop, which would have otherwise been a $130 Uber ride all the way to the airport.

Being a part of the Star Alliance, I was granted access to the lounge with my United Gold status. It allowed me to upgrade my boarding from Zone 4 to Zone 1. As soon as I got into the cabin, it felt luxurious. They used sweet endearments with my name in Mandarin. They helped me settle in my seat and confirmed my meal selection, which I had previously made online.

The seats had a 2-4-2 arrangement, and I had managed to secure a front-row seat, which meant no under-seat coverage but plenty of leg space. On my seat, there were slippers, a water bottle, noise-canceling headphones, and a cozy blanket that felt like a cloud. The blanket was quilted on one surface and had faux fur on the opposite side.

How It Went

An attendant soon came and gave me an overnight bag. It was a Kipling amenity kit consisting of Hudson Made New York products. It had the brand’s trademark monkey keychain with a scene of Taiwan’s Yilan on the bag. My entire EVA Air flight felt like a warm, pamper session with juice, fruits, and snacks while suspended at 30,000 feet mid air.

The breakfast was amazing, with Chinese-style scallop congee with egg & Chinese sausage. There was an option for another Western version that comprised smoked turkey accompanied by cheddar cheese. There was also a “leisure delight” meal in between the meals with BBQ chicken-filled brioche roll.

The restrooms were clean, and I can say so because I went three times, and it was clean each time. To clarify, I took a private plane recently that got filthy by the last hour of the flight, which was one-third the duration of the EVA Air.

When I took the return journey, I wanted to take things further, getting myself the business class name Royal Laurel. It featured 6.5-foot-long lie-flat seats, a retractable armrest, a cocktail table, and a shoe cabinet. This cabin had a 1-2-1 configuration with dated seats compared to other airlines. EVA Air raised the bar, however, with their Rimowa & Salvatore Ferragamo branded care kit and a complementary Jason Wu pajama set. All the passengers ended up wearing it, and I, too, could not resist it. I wore it all the way home.

The plaid duvet was so snug and comfy I asked where I could buy one. At one point, I fell asleep and dreamt of those noodles. But it was not my dream… they did bring noodles in between our slumber, and it just completed the experience all around.

Wrapping Up

A Complete Guide To Maine National Parks

BY  Sibashree Dec 29, 2021

Are you like me? Who loves the wilderness and the solitude. I am a solo traveler and I have visited a lot of national parks in the USA, the best of them according to me is Maine National Parks. If we share the same interest then Maine is the perfect getaway from everything.  The state is considered to be the place where the beautiful rocky coastline, pine forests, lighthouses, and the Appalachian Trail await you!.  When we talk about National Parks in Maine, there is only one National Park in Maine, but there are four sites that have been affiliated with the National Park services along with these there is also one National Trail that starts from Maine itself.  Acadia National Park is the main park in Maine. Maine National Parks that are affiliated are:  Maine Acadian Culture Centre. Katahdin Woods And Waters National Monument. Saint Croix Island International Historic Site.  Roosevelt Campobello International Park.  In this article, I will be giving you a complete guide on how to enjoy Maine National Parks. Stay tuned! Acadia National Park Acadia National park is where the mountains meet the ocean. This beautiful spot is located southwest of Bar Harbor, Maine. This park embraces 47,000 acres that include half of Mount Desert Island, known to be the section of the Schoodic Peninsula. There are several small islands in between as well.  Acadia is known to be one of the 10 top National Parks in America, which attracts a lot of tourists.  Things To Do In Acadia National Park  Hiking hiking is the most popular and fun activity in Acadia National Park. For hikers they have 158 miles that are marked as hiking trails and your pets can accompany you there too. It is a great place to take your family with you and while walking you will be watching the ocean, flora, and wildlife.  Wildlife For many species, Acadia National Park is their home. Look out for otters, eagles, seals, painted turtles, deer, peregrine falcons, moose, black bears, and porcupines. Not just these but there are 338 species of birds that visit this place throughout different times of the year.  Water Activities To enjoy the ocean to the fullest, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, boating as well as exploring the tide pools are the right and fun choices to spend your afternoon. To spend some time with yourself you can also think about paddling around all the islands or maybe cam at some primitive sites. Solo Tours You can always explore the place by auto tours, or bus tours after a week of hiking when you just want to look around to find new interesting things. you can enjoy your own company as solo traveling. The night sky in Acadia gets stunning for being pitch black and some stars playing hide and seek. Other than this, in winter you can go ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snow bowling, and dog sledding.  How To Get To Acadia National Park? From Mount Desert Island or Schoodic Peninsula, by car, it is really easy to drive to Acadia. The Rv campers must know that the historic bridges have high restrictions on roads. The rest of the roads do allow buses and long vehicles.  There are RV campsites that have a convenient bus system to drive tourists around the park. Therefore to explore po[ular locations you don’t need to hire a vehicle for that. Maine National Parks As I mentioned in the beginning, there are four affiliated sites that can somehow be considered National Parks in Maine. Let's see what they have to offer. Maine Acadian Culture Centre Maine Acadian Culture Centre is located in the U.S side of Saint John Valley. It shows the depth of the history of the Acadian settlers.  There are places for tourists to explore the intriguing architecture of the early 1900’s church, which is now home to Musee Culturel du Mont-Carmel. You can also just wander around all your own among the seventeen buildings of the indigenous Acadian settlement.  For those who would rather just stay outdoors than indoors and build memories to carry back home, have the Allagash Wilderness Waterway where angling, hunting, and canoeing are available.  Katahdin Woods And Waters National Monument  Possessing over 87,000 acres of Maine wilderness, this spot offers opportunities for outdoor roamers. This place is considered to be the hub for bird-watching and hiking. Katahdin is nominated as the international dark sky sanctuary.  Among the Maine National Parks, Acadia National park has a pristine National Monument whose location is perfect for date gazers and campers. To those who look for adventure during the wintertime as well, snow bowling is allowed in many areas,  and there are well-maintained trails for cross-country skiing. Hunting and fishing are also allowed here.  Saint Croix Island International Historic Site This place attempted to have a French Colonization, which now reminds historical events dating back to 1604. The trail is fine for visitors to leisurely walk and enjoys guiding themselves while they pass the bronze statues set in homage to French settlers and admire them.  There is a huge bird population and birdwatchers can easily report if they come across a new species of bird. Informal birds taking shadows are held through the entire summer.  Roosevelt Campobello International Park  This international park is to show respect to Franklin D. Roosevelt and his family.  This 2,800-acre island is full of forests, bogs, and beaches that offer an idyllic area, slow walks, and get-togethers.  People come across many cottages in the park including Roosevelt Cottage. This cottage is open to all tourists and provides guides that know how to answer the guests with politeness and information.  Appalachian National Scenic Trail  This Trail contains 2200 miles of habitual foot track. 281 of them are located in the state of Maine. It has ecosystems in the mountains that are quite picturesque. The tallest mountain in Maine, Katahdin, blemishes the starting of the trail and is the difficult mile on the route which is Mahoosuc Notch.  As the spot has a unique climate, it is also a hub for scientific research and studies. Workshops are available to educate people who wish to join the journey. There are plenty of exploration options for all skill levels, from friendly treks to thru-hikers. All the hikers that come from far places have to get a permit before starting their adventure.  Wrapping It All Up Here you go with everything you need to know before visiting the Maine National Parks. The place is considered to be the most beautiful National Park in America.  All ages can enjoy the view as well as the environment. You just have to take some time out of your busy schedule and visit the place with your family. I assure you the experience is going to be so good.

Travelling With Your E-Bike: How To Prepare For A Trip Or A Flight

BY  Sibashree Aug 28, 2025

Taking your e-bike on a trip sounds awesome, right? Whether you’re heading off on a cycling holiday, taking your electric bike to explore new trails, or simply bringing it along for a weekend away, travelling with your ride can open up exciting possibilities. Travellers love to travel. However, ironically, travelling causes carbon emissions. Therefore, people should ensure that they travel without harming nature. Nature lovers often stay in this dichotomy while travelling. They often fear that the toll of their travel will fall on nature. However, when you travel with an electric bike, you stay confident that no matter what happens, you will not be emitting carbon.  But, yeah… there’s a catch. Traveling with one can be a bit of a headache. Batteries, packing, weight limits, all that stuff. Still, if you plan ahead just a little, it’s not so bad.  Moreover, your bike will get there in one piece, and you’ll be ready to ride without drama. Let’s go over what actually matters. Understand The Rules Before You Go First thing—rules. Every airline, ferry, train company, you name it—they’ve all got their own take on e-bikes, especially the batteries. Lithium packs are where the real limits are. Some places want them off the bike, others only allow certain sizes.  And here’s the kicker: it changes country to country. Something fine in Spain might be banned in Canada. The only safe bet? Ask your carrier before you go. Better yet, get their answer in writing.  Saves you from awkward moments at check-in where they suddenly say “nope.” The cargo companies and other subjects subject Lithium batteries to scrutiny and regulation, as there is always a chance of these battery packs catching fire. Hence, the travellers should get everything checked in the first place, as it will prevent any sudden problems while shipping. Thus, travellers should get everything on paper while they travel with an Electric Bike. 1. Preparing Your E-Bike for Travel Think of this as a quick health check. Brakes—good? Tyres inflated? Chain oiled? Electronics behaving? If something feels off, fix it now, not halfway through your holiday. For the battery, don’t leave it full or empty—half-ish charged (30–60%) is the sweet spot. Most travel rules want it removed anyway. Moreover, strip off extras like mirrors, lights, bells… anything that sticks out. And honestly, give the bike a quick clean. Dirt might seem harmless, but some countries are strict on biosecurity. Moreover, the last thing you want is customs giving you grief over a muddy tyre. Plan out the spots for charging and halts while you travel on your bike. 2. Packing Your E-Bike Safely How you pack decides how your bike comes out on the other end. Hard-shell case? Best protection, but heavier. Soft padded bag? Lighter and easier to stash, just not quite as bombproof.  Moreover, inside, pad everything. Wrap delicate bits, lock down the bars, pedals, and wheels so nothing shifts. Tape or foam is your friend here. Don’t forget to tag it with your name and number, maybe toss on a “Fragile” sticker. Won’t guarantee gentle handling, but hey—it’s worth trying. Gentle handling at the airport has always been a super myth. However, people should ensure that they get plenty of padding to prevent their bikes from getting unnecessarily damaged.  3. Tips For Travelling By Car Or Train Road and rail are a bit easier. For cars, you’ll need a rack strong enough for e-bike weight (don’t assume a cheap one will do). If it’s exposed, cover it.  Rain, dust, and even little stones from the road can mess things up. Inside a car? Strap it down so it doesn’t bounce around. Trains… well, they’re hit or miss.  Moreover, some have bike spots, some don’t. Check before you get to the station—it’s no fun trying to squeeze an e-bike into a crowded carriage last minute. Cover your e-bike when it is exposed to a car. Moreover, you should not depend on the weather.  4. Flying With Your E-Bike Flying’s the tricky part. Airlines are strict about batteries. Big ones often aren’t allowed in checked luggage.  Sometimes you can carry it separately, sometimes you need to ship it. Either way, don’t wing it—talk to the airline weeks ahead, not days.  Pack the bike in a proper travel case, keep it under their weight limits, and protect every part. Once you land, take your time putting it back together.  Better to double-check than to find out a brake cable snapped on your first ride. 5. Extra Gear To Bring Along A few small tools can save your trip. Toss in a multitool, tyre levers, mini pump, maybe a spare tube or two.  Charger’s a must, plus an adapter if you’re heading abroad (easy to forget). A little cleaning cloth or kit helps too, especially after rainy rides.  Nothing fancy—just enough to keep things running smoothly. Moreover, ensure that the entire thing remains in control so that your trip does not get ruined just because of a missing spare. Travelling with an electric bike always demands carrying extra spares with you to ensure proper safety. 6. Common Mistakes To Avoid The stuff people forget is usually simple. Don’t leave your battery fully charged before storing—it wears it out faster.  Watch those weight limits; e-bikes aren’t light. Skip insurance? Big mistake. And honestly, the worst habit is last-minute packing.  Moreover, you rush, something gets left behind, or worse, you break something trying to jam it in. Seen it happen more than once. Remember This Before You Travel With An E-Bike  Bringing your e-bike along is worth it—you get to explore new places on your own wheels. Yeah, it takes some planning, but once you’ve done it, it feels easy.  Moreover, a bit of prep now means a smooth trip later, and you’ll roll off ready to ride instead of stressing about what survived the journey. However, travelling with an e-bike is cost-effective. Hence, the travellers leverage the liberty to go anywhere at any point in time. People should understand that they get some of the best results while travelling.
