Is it time to pack my things? CEAC Status - ISSUED

Congrats, Dahlia, I know you are excited!! cj might be a little giddy, too, I suspect.

I can't speak as to the Taipei airport, but do know that Customs at SEA was very easy for Roxane. Of course she went into it nervous, but after she said "no need".

Reviews for Taipei seem fairly positive:

According to Jayann & Jay

"If you buy online just make sure he calls EVA Air to let them he will be purchasing it for you and he is not one of the travelers so you won't have problems at the check-in."

Also we want to know if your passport and credit card copy with an original signature is acceptable to EVA air?

I will make sure I do this Honey !!! :-)

Love You !!!

Ask EVA when on the phone, cj, but when we did ours, they wanted a copy of my ID and CC. So I copied and emailed front and back of both. Just used ID, not passport, though I suspect either would work.

Getting close...

Wow !!! It looks like a great place for an 8 hr layover....free wifi and lots of great food to eat...the reviews were really good !!

Dahlia will certainly pass the time easy in this place....

Lets see !!!! Fee Wifi and lots of good food !!! a no brainer for her :-)

Thanks for the links to the airport info !!!

It is hard to believe....after all this time and the waiting, waiting, waiting, and the uncertainty of the process....we will be together in just a few more hours

Thanks to all our VJ friends that have helped to make this all possible !!!

Dahlia has a copy of my CC, front and back, my passport and drivers lic to show at check in....did you also send that info direct to Eva Air ??

Now that Dahlia has access to her passport, she will travel from Angles City to Manila real early Friday morning, will pick up her passport and Visa from our friend and then go right to the CFO for her class and get her stamp.....yehhhhh !!! almost done :-)

So now, I was just able to book her flight....through Expedia, flying with EVA Air from Manila to Seattle for $ 1,002.70 including all the taxes....on such short notice, that was a real deal. I found that trying to book direct with the airlines that flying on that day would be closer to $2,000... Wow !!!

She will stay in Manila Friday night and fly out of Manila at 12:45 PM on Saturday and arrives in Seattle Saturday evening at 7:10 PM. Her connecting flight is in Taipei with a layover of 8 hrs....

Does anyone know what that airport is like, any tips...does it have wifi ???

This has certainly been some ride !!!

Hopefully Dahlia can update this page as her flight to the US progresses.

Cheers,

Normally online bookings do not include the Travel Tax... best verify and at least be ready to pay it at the airport.

Yup, this ticket I am sure did not include that tax, so I have prepared Dahlia to pay that one at the airport.

You're welcome. Hope your flight is comfy and you arrive safely. I'm sure cj will be taking you to see the space needle, the port, the set of Grey's Anatomy, and all kinds of sight-seeing things the day you arrive. Or maybe he'll just take you home and try to keep you all for himself!

You are korek about the hunger thing. I have learned that when she says "I'm HUNGRY", or "I'M CRAVING xxxxxx", that doesn't mean later today, that means NOW. Or else...

Last time I rode through Washington (2008) I had to stop in (Cicely Alaska) Roslyn, WA ... didn't stop at the Brick but did go down the road to the Roslyn Café for a burger.

Of course I was stationed up that way back in the day.

Oh... I will be straight jumping in the bed and making a note infront of the bedroom door "DO NOT Disturb or else!!!!". Not unless he brings me food hahahahaha. oopss that doesn't sound right... let me re-phrase it... I will be needing a lot of sleep ALONE... lol....

Yup, the further out you can plan typically, the cheaper the flight.....I just booked Dahlia's flight today and she will be flying out tomorrow....so I got a good deal through Expedia.

I am guessing that some seats did not sell because of all the flooding in Manila so that has given us a little advantage right now.

I love Taiwan's airport. Good food + great shopping (for Dahlia). There is a gate in Taiwan airport where she can wait and charge all her devices since all the seats have the outlets under. I usually stay in that gate until my flight is about to board.
