EVA to Launch Taipei-Phuket Service on 2 April, 2020 Three Flights a Week, New Choice to Visit Thailand

EVA Air will launch a new service between Taipei and Phuket, starting on 2 April, 2020. The airline will serve the route with an Airbus A330-200, configured for 252 passengers with 24 in Royal Laurel Class business and 228 in Economy.

EVA will be the only airline to offer nonstop service from Taiwan to Phuket. The new service can significantly reduce flight time by at least six hours, providing passengers with a more convenient travel option.

Nice flight times too...

Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday Duration
Taipei - Phuket 11:05 14:20 (4.15)
Phuket - Taipei 15:30 21:00 (4.30)

A bit more expensive but way more convenient.

I thought you might like that Richard...

Yeah, they are puffing up the time saving, but anything direct is always so much less hassle and the extra cost is well worth it, plus you get 30kg free luggage with Eva!
