Trip to Thailand was kind of unexpected for one of our musicians and the story she told us was probably the one, someone went through before.
The trip was well organized ,but still had some things you can't be aware an advance and surprises keep coming.
When you travel the world by different airlines you learn new things.
EVA - seems to be everything alright,good price,good deal,but....
The Artist - female with 3 suitcases one is big and 2 little once probably even do not have a weight of the fly, 2 guitars and the Apple desk top computer.... and a back pack with lop top what we do not count.
You have to pay the additional $109 for the item after 2 goes as a limit for one person for no charge. Spending 2 hours in the line for ticket registration and hearing this news the trip didn't look promising (when you do not have money in your packet).
... She was almost giving up to fly for work to Thailand,because didn't have enough money to pay for each item she supposed to and all upset she was counting minutes with a thought "should I go or should I stay?". There was nothing in L.A. anymore accept friends who helped with a place to live until the talented musician will get some job and can move forward with her life.
The problem was that the ticket was confirmed all luggage already was taken off and they rolled it inside of airplane, but because of the price surprise which was mentioned after registration was done ..... everything was returned back during 15 minute... accept $2000 guitar.
Time was running.... guitar was still missing, (it seems wanted to go to work to Thailand). All airport was looking for a guitar,but it was in nowhere.
The plane suppose to be late ,because of computer network issue and the Artist has a bit time to figure out what to do.
They founded this $ 2000 guitar 30 min before plane take off.
.... Doesn't matter what she "the Artist" decided to make this trip purchasing one big bag and combined 2 into one.
The L.A. airport management for this reis was nice and let guitars make a trip for free,(they probably saw that nothing can stop dedicated musician),but no way inside of the salon of the plain.
RULES!!!!! Why American Airlines and Finnair are o.k. to get instruments inside, why not EVA? Who knows.
In any way the plane was very comfy and food was great....13 hours flight didn't feel too long,because the Artist had an extra 2 sits and could use them all for herself....until...
To be continued.
