beanbear Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 They have very cheap one way fares and am just wondering what they're like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRaynor Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nothing wrong with the airline, its the airport that's the problem if you are stuck there for a while. You can get a visitors visa while you wait though and have a look at the wonderful markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramot Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My husband flew for them for 9 years, and they were fine. We left 11 years ago, but still know quite a few flight deck, and the ones we know are very professional. friends fly with them regularly, as they buy a return from UK every year as it's cheaper, and say based on their experience of having flown with them for over 20 years, as they lived in Brunei before moving to Oz, they are fine. they don't serve alcohol on board, but you can take your own on board and drink it.

I'm out of touch as I haven't visited for a couple of years, but if you have to pass several hours at the airport, then it's worth taking a trip to see the water village and get an idea of another way of life, if it's still available, and or a trip up the river to see the proboscis monkeys. Brunei is a very different country to westeners, and it can be well worth a quick visit, but as far as I know they have sadly introduced Sharia Law recently, and I'm not sure about that, I think things are changing since I lived there.

Yep, that's right, though not coming into effect until 2017 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfred64 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Very cheap, if you smoke you will find it may not be possible when you have the stopover in brunei, they were building a new terminal when we were last there in June 13 so may now have a smoking lounge, over wise you will have to hang on until you reach Dubai.

beanbear Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Quite reassuring then. Think we may survive without alcohol for 25 hours - although it can't be guaranteed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 They have very cheap one way fares and am just wondering what they're like? Several times from Perth to Germany stopping over in Brunei for a night and they are fine. Cheap and can do without the booze in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
