Just like China Southern, EVA has a "premium economy" category of seating. Wikipedia has the following to say about it:
Elite Class / Evergreen Deluxe Class
Available on the B777-300ER and B747-400, Elite Class (777) / Evergreen Deluxe Class (747) is EVA Air's premium economy product. These seats are in a dedicated cabin, with wider seating and legroom, and a seat similar to short haul business class with an extendable legrest. Seats are in a 2-4-2 arrangement on both the 777 and 747. On EVA's B777-300ER, Elite Class seats also feature an adjustable winged headrest, power outlets for laptops, 8.4" LCD screens with Star Gallery, EVA's AVOD (audio video on demand) entertainment system, and noise cancelling headphones. On the 747, the older Evergreen Deluxe seat features increased legroom and an adjustable legrest like the Elite Class seat, and includes a rotating six channel entertainment video selection without laptop power. Service levels in EVA's premium economy cabins are similar to Economy, but food and amenities are improved, along with the seating. In the summer of 2007, EVA Air will introduce the new Elite cabin to its B747-400 aircraft.
I think it's fair to say that I'd rather walk to Taipei than fly 22 or so hours in economy class. Call me a princess if you must, but adventure traveling just isn't my thing anymore. Once I hit the big 4-0, that was it. No discomfort in traveling. Sorry. No camping. No "roughing it." Good hotels, decent food. Short flights OR good seats, take your pick.
