I've recently come back from a 20 month trip around South East Asia. Also worked in Thailand, learned the language and really got to know the people.

I've used EVA Airways twice now and on both occasions have found them to be very good. The main reason for using them is that they are the cheapest direct flight from Heathrow to Bangkok that I know of.
Not many people have heard of EVA Airways. They are a Taiwanese based company who I believe are part of the Evergreen group. I think they are also part of AMD Processors.
Food was OK (Chinese Noodles, rice etc), although I was starving and probably would have eaten anything. Vegetarian meals can be requested.
The films (4 in total are shown) were fairly recent and are in English with Chinese subtitles.
The only thing I would say are that the seats feel a little smaller than most airlines I have used. I'm 6ft 2in tall and 12 hour non-stop journeys are never fun for me. In saying that, I have had some mammoth journeys before which have included 4.5hr plus stop-overs. So as a preference I would rather be in the plane than the Airport.
With the price being so cheap (£458 inc tax), I suppose that many people could afford to go first class for the same price that you would pay in economy with other airlines.
Although again a little robotic. The staff were friendly, efficient and spoke perfect English. I'm sure there's a factory in Taiwan somewhere that makes them. I was waiting for one of them to malfunction and go berserk, but to my major disappointment it never happened. I guess these long flights play with your mind!
As Bangkok is the stopover for this flight, it later goes on to Taiwan. So if you are planning to go to Taipei from London/Bangkok, I would recommend this service.
I'm not planning on returning to this part of SE Asia for a while as there are other places in this wonderful world I would like to visit. If I was going out that way again I would definitely use them again.

The seats are designed for Asian built so I feel sorry for your discomfort. Cheap airfares surely would attract customers, add to this the robotic finesse of the attendants and you have a winner in your hand. Perhaps they need to advertise more. Keep on flying... Alex

Review of EVA Air
Advantages: Beautiful cemetery. Key place to visit in Buenos Aires Disadvantages: Not great if you do not like Cemeteries. Public transport access is not great
