12:20 PM 		Many people choose to fly with EVA Air for long trips. They want better comfort, nicer meals, and more room for bags. A seat that gives them more space is also important. There are different ways to move up from Economy Class to Premium Economy or Business Class with EVA Air Upgrade Policy. You can do this if your ticket meets the rules and if there are seats left.

At flyairlinespolicy, we make airline rules easy to read. This helps people know upgrade policies well before they book a flight.

What Is the EVA Air Upgrade Policy?

EVA Air lets people who can use this service upgrade their tickets with:





Infinity MileageLands miles



Electronic upgrade certificates



EVABidDeal bidding system



Direct paid upgrades on selected routes

However, you can get upgrades only on some fare classes and bookings that are set. If you have a basic fare or a ticket with a very low price, you may not get an upgrade.

Upgrade Using Infinity MileageLands Miles

Passengers who are part of the EVA Air’s Infinity MileageLands group can use their miles to get a better seat on EVA Air and UNI Air flights that go to other countries.

Eligible Economy fare classes usually include:





Y



B



M



H



Q

These tickets may get upgrades to Royal Laurel Class, Premium Laurel Class, or Business Class. It will depend on what seats are open on your route.

Important Mileage Upgrade Rules

Passengers should know:





There are only a few upgrade seats.



You can get upgrades depending on your trip and time of year.



You have to ask for an upgrade before you leave.



You can’t use miles to get an upgrade at the airport most of the time.

Many people on Reddit say the same thing. Waitlists for upgrades are very common when you fly on busy routes in North America.

EVABidDeal Upgrade Program

EVA Air also has a bidding system that they call EVABidDeal. People who can join will get an email invite. This lets them make a cash bid for an upgrade to the next cabin class.

For example:





Economy ? Premium Economy



Premium Economy ? Business Class

Passengers only pay if their bid is accepted.

How EVABidDeal Works

The process is simple:





Get an invite for an upgrade.



Put your bid online.



Add your card or other payment details.



Wait until you get a message telling you if it was approved.

EVA Air often lets people know if they got an upgrade as soon as 49 hours before they leave.

Reddit travelers say that each flight segment is handled on its own. This means that upgrades for going out and coming back are not connected.

Direct Paid Upgrades

Sometimes, EVA Air can give paid upgrades if you ask at the airport or talk to customer staff. But, the price for these upgrades can often be close to buying a Business Class ticket from the start.

People often say they get more for their money when they book Premium Economy first. After they do this, they can use their miles to get an upgrade.

Benefits of Upgrading on EVA Air

Passengers who successfully upgrade can enjoy:





The seats are wider and feel more comfortable.



You get to board the plane before others.



You will have better meals on the flight.



You can take more bags with you.



You can wait in the lounge if you are in some cabins.



You can enjoy better in-flight entertainment.

EVA Air’s Royal Laurel Business Class is well known for its seats that lay flat. People like it for the long flights because it gives good comfort.

Important Restrictions to Remember

Some bookings may not get upgrades, like:





Basic Economy tickets



Group flights



Some codeshare flights



Tickets with special limits



Bookings already made better through EVABidDeal

Passengers who travel with babies or have special health needs may not be able to upgrade their tickets online.

Helpful Tips for Better Upgrade Success

To improve upgrade chances:





Book fare classes that let you upgrade.



Join Infinity MileageLands early.



Send your bids as soon as you get the invite.



Check your upgrade emails often.



Try not to travel during busy times if you can.

Some people on Reddit say that those who fly in premium economy often get better chances to move up to a higher class than people in standard economy.
