台北桃園機場第二航廈長榮 The Infinity 貴賓室
EVA Air The Infinity Lounge, Terminal 2, Taipei Taoyuan Airport
雖然說早就預料到暑假出國的人潮會特別多，但是一早六點到機場，看到報到櫃台人山人海的樣子還是相當嚇人啊！還好商務艙櫃檯的隊伍不長，大概等個十分鐘左右就完成報到了。只是過安檢還是花了不少時間，真的進到長榮貴賓室的時候也是將近七點了。
I got to the airport at around 6am. Even though I already anticipated the crowds for the summer, I was still quite shocked by how crowded the airport was. Luckily the line for business class wasn't too long, so I was checked-in within ten minutes. Passing through security and immigration took a much longer time though, so I didn't get to the lounge until 7.

長榮最新裝修完成的 The Infinity 貴賓室，才剛開放不久，整個貴賓室的感覺都還非常新。設計風格上偏向未來感的設計，貴賓室內的燈光也會不時變換。雖然說一開始覺得很酷，但是坐久了反而覺得太過花俏了一些，而且燈光一直變換也對眼睛有不小的負擔。不過整體而言還是很不錯的貴賓室。
The Infinity was just renovated and still fairly new. The overall design was very futuristic, with the lighting always changing in a couple minutes. Although it felt pretty cool at the beginning, after some time it became too fancy for me. The changing lights actually made my eyes quite uncomfortable. But it's still a nice lounge.

貴賓室內的食物選擇雖然不算太多，但以早餐來說還算相當充足。只是可能早上使用貴賓室的人太多，補充速度有點跟不太上，算是比較可惜的地方。
There weren't that many food selections in the lounge, but quite enough considering it's just for breakfast. Though perhaps because there were too many people in the lounge that morning, sometimes the food section went empty real fast, which is a pity.
雖然其實也才一早剛起床沒多久，但為了拍照分享，所以還是跟櫃檯領了淋浴間的鑰匙。The Infinity 的淋浴間總共有四間，每間都有各自的主題（和奇怪的名字），不過我自己是看不出來主題有特別明顯就是了。淋浴間本身非常乾淨，設備也非常好，在這邊先給長榮一點掌聲！
For the sake of sharing pictures up here, I still went and got a key to the shower rooms despite the fact that it's still very early in the morning and I just showered before I left my apartment! The Infinity has four shower rooms, each with its own theme (and very odd names), but I honestly couldn't tell the difference though. The shower room itself was extremely clean, well-kept, and very well-equipped. Kudos to EVA for that!

起飛時間 Depart: 08:20AM
降落時間 Arrive: 10:00AM
飛行時間 Duration: 1hr40min
機型 Aircraft: Boeing 747-400 Combi
座位 Seat: 8C（商務艙 Business Class）
大概在 7:40 我就離開貴賓室，準備前往登機門。這次時間算得很準，到達登機門大約五分鐘之後就開始登機了。這班 BR 851 由 747-400 Combi 執飛，商務艙位於上層，配備的是舊型的商務艙座椅（過去的超級商務艙）。以現在航空公司的標準來說，這樣的座椅真的已經相當過時了，座椅角度調整的空間相當有限，而且個人螢幕也非常老舊。還好飛香港只要一個小時左右，也不太需要躺下。這一款座位最大的優點就是椅子非常軟非常好坐，對於短程飛行來說還算是舒適。
I left the lounge at around 7:40 and headed to the gate. This time everything worked out very well, and boarding started about 5 minutes after I got to the gate. My flight was operated by a 747-400 Combi, with EVA's old business class on the upper deck. The cabin was VERY dated if compared to other airlines nowadays. The seat reclines very little and the entertainment system was also very old. Fortunately it was only a 1hr flight to Hong Kong so there's no need to really lay down and rest. What I liked about the seat is it's extremely soft and comfortable to sit in, which fits very well for such a short flight.

菜單 menu
台港線一直號稱是空服員的戰鬥航線，果然起飛沒多久，一到達飛航高度之後，就看到空姐們全部都快速起身開始備餐了。整份餐是用一個托盤一起上的，除了主餐之外的食物非常簡單，就只有水果、優格和麵包而已。
The Taipei-HK flight is always referred as the "battle flight" for FAs, and you can see all of them rush into action once we reached cruising altitude. The entire meal was delivered in one tray, and was very simple, only the main, yogurt, fruits, and bread.
主餐我已經是先上網預選了網路訂餐限定的頂泰豐牛肉麵，果然是名不虛傳啊！不但肉質非常好，湯頭的味道也非常濃郁好喝，非常讓人滿意。
For the main course, I pre-ordered the Din Tai Feng beef noodles online, and it was really really good! The beef was very well-cooked and the soup was also delicious. I have nothing but good words about it.
餐後並沒有甜點（只有一小時就別要求太多了吧），直接開始上茶或咖啡。等到大家差不多用餐完畢，也就真的要準備降落了！
No dessert was offered after the meal (it was, after all, just a little over one hour), and they went straight to offering tea and coffee. Once everyone finished their meal, it's time to start our descent into Hong Kong.
順利降落之後，就準備出發到轉機櫃台進行下一段航程啦～下一篇是泰航的 A380 頭等艙記錄，敬請期待！
Landing was very smooth and I headed straight to the transfer desk for my next flight. The next post will be a review of Thai's First Class to Bangkok in the A380, so stay tuned!
