How much is EVA Air business class?
Published Royal Laurel fares from the US West Coast run $5,500-$9,000 round-trip. FlyBusinessClass negotiated fares typically fall between $3,200 and $5,000, among the best value across the Pacific.

The verdict
Inside Royal Laurel Class
EVA does not chase headlines; it simply executes. Royal Laurel's reverse-herringbone seats are private and consistent across the long-haul fleet, the champagne pour (Veuve or better) is generous, and the Din Tai Fung partnership puts genuinely great xiao long bao at 38,000 feet.
Taipei connections are efficient, and EVA's pricing discipline makes it a perennial best-value pick: our negotiated Royal Laurel fares to Southeast Asia frequently come in thousands under Japanese and Hong Kong alternatives for comparable quality.
