在離開韓亞航頭等貴賓室之後,要再搭一趟接駁列車才能到達衛星航廈的登機門。沒想到到了登機門之後才發現,因為來機晚到,登機時間延後了大約二十分鐘。這似乎是近期長榮很常遇到的問題,在我最近搭乘長榮的經驗中,已經很少有班機可以準時起飛了。

After leaving the Asiana First Class Lounge, I took the train to the satellite terminal for my flight. However, boarding was delayed for about 20 minutes due to "late inbound aircraft." This seemed to have become a regular problem with EVA Air. I had a lot of flights with them recently and almost none left on time.

儘管螢幕上顯示七點半開始登機,但實際上是一直到七點四十才開始開放商務艙登機。

Even when they were showing 19:30 as the revised boarding time, it eventually started at 19:40, starting with business class.

空服員在門口看了我的登機證之後,便帶我來到了這充斥著 Hello Kitty 的座位。長榮還真的是不遺餘力地將整座飛機能塞進 Hello Kitty 的地方都塞了。從抱枕、螢幕、安全卡,到牆上的掛畫、廁所的備品和衛生紙,通通都是 Hello Kitty 造型的。就連登機的時候播放的音樂,也和長榮一般的登機音樂不一樣喔!

Once the flight attendant checked my boarding pass, she escorted me to my fully Hello Kitty-themed seat. EVA Air really went full on when making this plane full of Hello Kitty. From the pillow, screen, safety card, to the painting, and the amenities and toilet papers were all "Kitty-fied." Even the boarding music was different from the regular one.

儘管航程其實很短,長榮還是很貼心地附上拖鞋。

Despite the short flight time, they still provided a set of slippers.

長榮的桂冠艙其實和新航的區域型商務艙差不多,是相當標準的區域型商務艙配備。以兩個多小時的航程來說,算是非常舒適的了。我特別喜歡座位前方的置物櫃,可以存放一些像是手機、相機、眼鏡等小東西,要用的時候就非常方便。

EVA Air's Premium Laurel Class is quite similar to Singapore's regional business class. It's a very standard regional business class product, and is perfectly comfortable for short flights. I especially loved the storage cabinets at the front, which was perfect for small items like phones, cameras, or glasses, making everything easily within reach.

菜單當然也是以 Hello Kitty 為主題的。

The menu, of course, was also Hello Kitty themed.

迎賓飲料只有果汁或水可以選擇,附上的衛生紙當然也是有 Hello Kitty 的。

They only had water or juice available as welcome drink, and it, not surprisingly, came with a Hello Kitty-themed napkin.

因為航程其實很短,所以起飛沒多久就開始送餐。不意外地,連食物都會出現 Hello Kitty,佐餐的香檳也配合選用粉紅香檳。

Since it was such a short flight, meal service started really soon after take-off. And, yes you guessed it, all the food was Kitty-fied as well. They even offered rose champagne to accompany it.

只可惜餐點的味道並不好,雖然沒有到難以下嚥,但也無法稱得上好吃。

Sadly the taste was quite disappointing. They weren't inedible, but certainly didn't come close to tasty.

因為我並不是特別喜歡 Hello Kitty 的人,所以有 Hello Kitty 主題的班機並沒有特別有吸引力,不過如果是 Hello Kitty 粉絲的話,我想搭乘長榮的 Hello Kitty 機會是很特別的經驗。目前長榮總共有六架 Hello Kitty 機,主要飛航巴黎以及部分亞洲區域航線。

Now, I'm not someone who's particularly fond of Hello Kitty, so this Kitty themed flight didn't really appeal to me. But I'd assume it would be a special experience for a Hello Kitty fan. EVA Air currently have six Hello Kitty jets flying to Paris and some regional destinations in Asia.
