Even economy barely breaks even. Business class is where the real savings are.
The 50% Rule and Your Value
Remember: EVA Air only lets you use purchased miles for half your ticket. You need to earn the other half.
How This Affects Value
Let's say you want a 75,000 mile business class ticket:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total miles needed | 75,000 |
| Miles you must earn | 37,500 (50%) |
| Miles you can buy | 37,500 (50%) |
| Cost to buy at 1.95¢ | $731 |
| Cash ticket price | $5,200 |
| Your savings | $4,469 |
Your earned miles are basically "free" — you got them from flying. So you're really paying $731 for a $5,200 ticket.
