Review of Austrian Business Class Vienna to Montreal
After many cancellations and with the latest crunch on Eurobonus award seats to the US this trip was close to not being possible at all.

EVA Business 787-9 Dreamliner Business Class (TPE-ICN)
Most of far East Asia is unfortunately still closed (Taiwan, Japan, China). However, South Korea is open, and fairly easy to visit now. Before your trip, make sure you apply for your K-ETA online. As of August 2022, you also need a pre-departure COVID test (PCR max 2 days before, or Antigen max 1 day before your flight). You’ll also want to apply for a Q-code online (so that you don’t have to fill out the health declaration by hand). At this time, you also have to take an arrival PCR test. Be sure to make a reservation in advance (read more about that below).

EVA Air Award Redemption Guide
EVA Air’s Infinity MileageLands program offers fantastic value, but its award redemptions can be quirky. I recently made my first award redemption using their frequent flyer program, and the process was not straightforward, especially since I was booking a flight for two people, myself and a travel companion.
