EVA Air was the world’s first airline to introduce a Premium Economy Class back in 1992. It will once again redefine the category with the debut of its fourth-generation Premium Economy cabin on October 3rd. The innovative new product will be introduced on the inaugural flight of EVA’s Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) route, giving travelers to the United States the first chance to experience the airline’s most advanced Premium Economy offering ever.

The new Premium Economy cabin represents a significant step forward in both comfort and cabin design. Configured in a 2-3-2 layout with 28 seats, it offers 42 inches of seat pitch, cradle-style recline, and leather upholstery. Each seat comes equipped with a 15.6-inch HD touchscreen, individual power outlets, USB ports, and tray tables designed to accommodate personal devices. Additional enhancements include privacy panels, expanded personal storage, and improved accessibility features for both comfort and inclusivity.

EVA Air’s new Premium Economy service is more than just the seat. Passengers will enjoy:

  • Eco-conscious, double-sided blankets
  • Plush pillows and premium headphones
  • Royal Laurel Class amenity kits and velvet slipper
  • Stylish Guzzini-designed tableware
  • Sustainable bamboo-fiber napkins
  • Gourmet snacks including mixed nuts and dried fruit

These amenities reflect the airline’s emphasis on both luxury and sustainability.

The debut of the new Premium Economy coincides with EVA Air’s launch of service between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). When it begins flying, EVA Air will become the first Asian carrier to serve two cities in Texas. The new route will begin with 3x flights weekly on Boeing 787-9 aircraft. This will increase to 5x flights weekly on November 18th and then daily service starting on December 15th.

Andrew Su, Executive Vice President of EVA Air North America, said:

We’re thrilled to introduce our fourth-generation Premium Economy to the U.S. market, starting with our new Dallas-Fort Worth service. This product evolution reflects our commitment to providing passengers with greater comfort and convenience, while addressing growing demand for a more spacious and refined long-haul travel experience. Dallas-Fort Worth is a vibrant hub with strong business and cultural ties to Asia, making it a fitting location to debut this upgraded offering.”

Anthony’s Take: It’s not hard to see why EVA Air is lauded as one of the most comfortable and amenity-rich ways to fly between the United States and Taiwan. This new cabin looks gorgeous and I love all that is included with the soft product.
