About EVA Air’s Hello Kitty Jets

Jerome and I

Update: Hello Kitty planes have been permanently added to the Singapore <=> Taipei flight route and will commence on June 21st, 2015. Here’s what to expect inside a typical Hello Kitty plane. Note: the plane in June will have a new theme, but you could probably expect something similar to this one.

I’ve been a fan of Hello Kitty ever since receiving my first Kitty toy at the age of 4. And I have always wondered what it would be like to be on a Hello Kitty themed jet. Imagine my excitement when I heard about the nine full service Hello Kitty flights offered by EVA Air – between Taiwan and Singapore this December, 2014. 

EVA Air is the only airline in the world to launch Hello Kitty Jets with partner Sanrio. There are now 6 variants of the aircraft on flight routes from Taiwan to Japan (Tokyo, Sapporo & Fukuoka), Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, Mainland China (Shanghai), Guam and United States (Los Angeles).

We recently had the chance to see what it was like flying on a Hello Kitty themed jet from Singapore to Taiwan. Here’s what we discovered.

– What to expect on EVA Air’s Hello Kitty Jets –

1. Hello Kitty Check-Ins!

The Hello Kitty theme runs through your entire flight experience, starting with your check in. So get your cameras ready from the beginning! If you’re flying back from Taoyuan Airport (Taipei) Terminal 2, you can do a self check-in at the Hello Kitty kiosks.

2. Hello Kitty Boarding Passes!

Following which you will get a Hello Kitty boarding pass.

3. Hello Kitty Boarding Gate!

This is the Hello Kitty boarding gate, which will definitely have you going “awwww” before being compelled by your inner fangirl to purchase some souvenirs.

4. Hello Kitty Cabin Crew!

The cabin crew completes the themed experience with a baby pink Hello Kitty apron that will make you swoon.

5. Hello Kitty Toilets!

EVA Air and Sanrio meant it when they said ‘full service Hello Kitty jets’ because you’ll have Kitty and friends even during your toilet breaks.

6. Hello Kitty In-Flight Food!

This kittified tray feels like an endless maze with its multiple courses and totally Instagram-worthy appearance.

Jerome looking very pleased!
