I’ve written a bunch over the last couple of days about the EVA Air Hello Kitty program. The Star Alliance airline doesn’t just paint planes in Hello Kitty livery, they introduce service elements and minor details throughout the passenger experience that reflect the Hello Kitty concept.
- Inaugural Launch Party: Star Alliance Member EVA Air Now Flies Taipei – Houston With Hello Kitty Jet
- Inside Star Alliance Member EVA Air’s 777-300ER Hello Kitty Shining Star Jet
- Complete Guide to the EVA Air Hello Kitty Jet Experience
As a general matter I prefer to give away anything I receive from travel providers, and I try my best to keep my home uncluttered.
Since I attended the launch event for EVA Air’s new Taipei – Houston service, operated by a brand new Hello Kitty 777 ‘Shining Star’ jet, I came home with a couple of items of swag. And I’m going to give them away here.

So… would you go out of your way to redeem miles to fly an EVA Air Hello Kitty jet?
I would just to get some of the toilet paper.
Yes I would definately go out of my way. I LOVE HELLO KITTY!!
One of the negatives to me about USAir leaving Star Alliance was losing the opportunity to spend miles on a Hello Kitty flight. The second I showed my 10yo daughter one of these planes, she immediately wanted to travel wherever in the world we had to in order to ride one of these planes. She couldn’t get over the Hello Kitty shaped food and the toilet paper. If I ever come into a bunch of *A miles to spend, they will definitely be on an EVA flight!
Hell yeah! Hello Kitty FTW!
Absolutely! Sent an email to my sister yesterday telling her we’ll fly to Asia on this next!
Yes, without a doubt. BR has a great long-haul J product, still has 9 across in Y, the theme is cute, and how many other airlines do a special service to complement the special livery?
Yes – I already have! I flew TPE-FUK and it was awesome!
Yes, if I had the extra miles, my kids would love to go this plane.
Of course! Last summer, I paid a fee to change my flight to fly direct from FUK to TPE, just to fly Hello Kitty. $90++ for the change! I would do it again. I was a little disappointed that there was no Hello Kitty toy or souvenir for the flight. Otherwise, an experience worth doing again!
yes I would!
Sure! this gonna be unique, although i guess the basic idea is similar to the ANA Pokemon flight few years ago
i would, since i’m an EVA diamond member and hello kitty jet is on their newer 777 fleet as opposed to their older 777 fleet
Daughter loves hello kitty!
Sure thing! Anything better than the legacy carriers.
I definitely would not, but my sister in law would kill for the opportunity.
I know my daughters would love the Hello Kitty flight.
2 months ago. LAX-TPE. Biz class. NO Hello Kitty. Bummer! I actually used UA mileage for that flight. cost me 80k! Hate UA. Now I am switching to LH for *A award flights.
Yes! I’ve flown 2 Hello Kitty segments on an award ticket this year
I certainly would go out of my way. My five year old daughter is a huge fan of HK. We went out of our way this spring to take the Norwegian Getaway so she could meet and greet with her favorite Nickelodeon characters. Nothing like paying an extra 25 bucks a head for the same free breakfast, but with SpongeBob.
My daughter wouldn’t forgive me if I didn’t lob an entry in for this, although I suspect I’ll just have to find it for sale online somewhere.
Hell yeah I’d redeem points. I know my wife wants to go really badly.
I would if I had extra miles. Looks like fun!
Absolutely, I would fly one of the Hello Kitty Eva flights! The Hello Kitty gate at TPE is cute. It definitely made me wish I was on that flight.
I would for sure go out of my way to ride in that plane. Sadly I don’t have any trips to that side of world in the works.
Absolutely! Flew once on another Hello Kitty plane short haul and can’t wait to try their long haul to Asia!
I’d go on that flight in a heartbeat if I had enough ff miles.
If I could ever fly anywhere on a Hello Kitty flight, that would be an extra bonus in life. 🙂
I would love to try the flight especially if my 27 year old daughter is with as she loves Hello Kitty
it depends on how many miles, but I would certainly consider it
I don’t care how many miles I just want to do it.
I would and I already have before. On the way to Tokyo, we made a stop in Taipei just so we could take a short hop on a Hello Kitty plane!
No I would not go out of my way to fly on the “Hello Kitty” airplanes. But, if I needed to get to Taiwan, then I would fly on EVA. Then, I might arrange to fly with Hello Kitty.
I flew my daughters thru tpe so they could visit gate c3！
If I was going to Taiwan, I’d check out the feasibility for flying on a Eva Hello Kitty jet for the experience. Probably wouldn’t go TOO far out of my way for it though.
Couldn’t care less for the branding when selecting my flights. But I find it cute and don’t mind free swag 😉
In a heartbeat!
Absolutely!! I was planning make it to fly from lax to tpe but it’s being changed to fly to Hou now!
no. i love convenience.
I already redeemed miles for the flight!
Of course! I live in TPE, it will be my next redemption!
Definitely!
Yes, definitely would! I’ve already experienced “regular” Royal Laurel class from SFO to TPE and this would be even better!
Would I purposefully position myself somewhere solely for this? Probably not. Would I choose this flight over other comparable ones? Definitely.
I wouldn’t go out the way for myself… But I certainly would for our catsitter when we fly EVA Air to Bali. She’s definitely worth it. Incredible peace of mind and
Yes!
I wouldn’t fly specifically for it but I would for our catsitter who is wonderful and takes care of our babies in special ways she really could use it. She’s wonderf!
Definitely – I have already tried to fly on a Hello Kitty flight, unfortunately, the aircraft for the specific HKG-TPE rotation I was booked on was swapped to a 74E…
OMG. My entire childhood was Sanrio, and the biggest Character, Miss Hello Kitty.
Cool beans!
I have and would go out of my way to fly a Hello Kitty plane, on miles or paid!
