Taiwan sits about 13 to 15 hours nonstop from the US West Coast and requires a connection from the East Coast (unless you're on select nonstop routes). EVA Air and China Airlines are the two major Taiwanese carriers, and both operate excellent premium economy products. EVA Air was actually the first airline in the world to introduce premium economy back in 1992, and their latest fourth-generation product on the 787-9 features an industry-leading 42 inches of pitch with a 2-3-2 layout.
Starlux Airlines is the newer Taiwanese carrier that's been getting attention since launching US routes. They fly from LAX and SFO to Taipei with a premium economy product on their A350s. China Airlines' A350 premium economy has a 2-3-2 layout with 39 inches of pitch. Taipei (TPE) also serves as a popular connection point for onward travel to Southeast Asia, making premium economy a smart choice if you're continuing to Thailand, Vietnam, or the Philippines.

EVA Air's 42-inch pitch is best in class
EVA Air's new fourth-generation premium economy seats on the 787-9 offer 42 inches of pitch, the most of any premium economy product flying today. Their cradle-motion recline gives you 8 inches of recline without disturbing the passenger behind you.
Three Taiwanese carriers to choose from
EVA Air, China Airlines, and Starlux Airlines all compete on the US-Taipei route with premium economy. Competition keeps prices reasonable and quality high. Starlux in particular has built a strong reputation since launching in 2020.
Good connection hub for Southeast Asia
Taipei is a natural connection point for flights to Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. If you're flying premium economy the whole way, starting at TPE gives you access to Taiwanese carrier connections throughout the region.
Excellent meal service
EVA Air consistently wins awards for catering. Their premium economy meals feature Taiwanese and international dishes served with proper cutlery. China Airlines partners with Taiwanese restaurants for in-flight menus. The food is genuinely good.
15.6-inch screens on newer aircraft
EVA Air's 787-9 premium economy has 15.6-inch high-res screens, which are among the largest in any premium economy cabin. Starlux and China Airlines also offer large personal screens with extensive entertainment libraries.
Solid value on 13-15 hour flights
Premium Economy on Taiwanese carriers from the US typically costs $1,400 to $2,800 round trip. Business class starts around $4,500 and can hit $7,000+. Given the excellent product these carriers offer, premium economy is outstanding value.
