Since the flight was quite early in the morning, I took a taxi directly to the airport. My flight departed from Gate 512, which indicated that a bus connection to the aircraft was necessary. While I was waiting for boarding, I found a place to charge my phone. Boarding was a little bit earlier than expected, I was on the first bus to the aircraft. Priority boarding for bus gate has no meaning, as everybody eventually packed in the same bus.

Our aircraft was parked at N141. B-16226, an A321 already in its new livery. This aircraft was delivered to EVA Air in September 2016. It seems that EVA Air is putting more A321 on this route.

Loading was quite fill today, I had a Hong Kong couple sitting next to me.

Taxing to RWY.

Take-off at 7:49am from RWY07R.

Weather was good and I had a good view during departure.

20 minutes after take-off, a meal was served. I always appreciate that EVA Air still serve a decent meal for such a short flight.

Recaro seat. There is no PTV on the seat with only overhead monitor showing some programs during the flight.

I haven't took any photos during landing. At 8:57am, our plane touched down on RWT05L. This north RWY was closed for renovation until 24th December 2015. We finally parked at gate D4.
