I have flown EVA Air 2x to the US and found their rate reasonable, plus they have very nice service as well. Now, I was just checking online for a 1-way ticket, with April 30, 2013 as the departure date and I was surprised to see that it's worth $1434 on kayak.com! On EVA's website though, it's $878. A local travel agency quoted me $1557. Anyhow, to those who recently used EVA as a first-time immigrant, do they offer such promo?

Meanwhile, I also checked Hawaiian Airlines and the prices I got from kayak.com, from it's website and from a local travel agency are within the range of $820-$880. No big difference compared to what I got for EVA. Now, I'm wondering why EVA's pricing was different given the 3 sources I checked.

My husband will be coming here in April for his sister's wedding, hence the April 2013 target departure date. He would prefer using EVA, however, with the recent finding that I had with it's 1-way ticket price, we might consider other options. It's still a month before my interview date, but we're canvassing now so he can book his flight accordingly, then I can book my flight after my interview and getting approved. Thinking positive here! :)

Any inputs will be much appreciated!

Thank you! smile.gif

I've always flown EVA and book through their web site rather than going to any of the Travel Agencies. Their web site quotes are accurate and reflects the true market situations according to season. April is a heavy travel dates for Filipinos flying to the USA and other destinations because the school is out during April-May.

Yes, I forgot, April's a peak season! I might consider just purchasing via EVA or hopefully a promo is out by January. :)

Thanks!
