Royal Brunei

by colin_bramso

We flew with Royal Brunei for the first time and have no complaints. The flight from Dubai left a little late but arrived on time. No alcohol, BTW, but I don't think that's a problem on flights - in fact it can be a problem when passengers have too much!.A Boeing 777 runs daily between Brunei and London Heathrow with a stop in Dubai. Going, the flight was almost empty so it was quite comfortable. The return flight was completely full and the ride was bumpy - not the airline's fault of course. Both were night flights so after the meal the lights were turned low and everyone slept (or tried to in my case, I have problems sleeping on aircraft).Cabin crew brought drinks around regularly and the food was no better nor worse than most other airlines.Overall I'd say I could recommend them.

Brunei International Airport

by colin_bramso

Flying is the obvious way to reach Brunei, which has a small international airport in the capital Banda Seri Begawan, and its own national airline, Royal Brunei.We flew on Royal Brunei from Dubai, a Boeing 777 which flies London Heathrow-Dubai-Brunei.With an Aussie passport I got an automatic 14 day visa, for B$20, on arrival. Some passports need no visa while others need to arrange a visa in advance so you need to check what applies to your passport.It's a small and not busy airport so formalities are quick, luggage comes quickly and it's a stress-free experience.If you need a meal before your flight out you should have it before you go through to the passengers only area. Inside there's only one eatery, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, while in the main public area there's a choice of about five. It's not a great choice but at least it's a choice.

Jungle on your own

by Assenczo

Renting a car is the way to achieve independence in a place with relatively expensive tours and taxi service. The rental itself is not a rock bottom bargain but it is definitely worth it. It offers the possibility to go to the most remote longhouses that happen to be on stable ground. This is a double edged sword of course because a superficial examination shows that the “jungle” people live urban lifestyles with cars parked neatly under the bellies of the houses. Part of the “package” may include areas of the Bandar itself that are too far flung for visits on foot such as the Jerundong Park and the vicinity of the sultan’s palace. Bear in mind that only Bruneians may have a glimpse at the palace itself and only during certain dates. Meticulously manicured causeway is the only section prone to infidel eyes.

By Boat to Labuan and Kota Kinabalu

by lotharscheer

The ferry terminal in Brunei is at Muara, the Serasa Ferry Terminal. There are several ferries daily to Labuan, with thr early ones you can connect on the same day to Kota Kinabalu. There is a public bus going from the bus terminal in Bandar Seri Begawan.

Royal Brunei Airlines

by easterntrekker

We flew fromBrunei to Kota Kinbalu with Royal Brunei Airlines. We booked using our credit card online and were able to check in online as well.It was a short comfortable flight The plane was pretty dinghy however ,my seat was taped together with duck tape!!....makes you wonder how wellit was maintained mechanically. The no alcohol policy would be difficult on a long flight..

Taxi from the Airport

by easterntrekker

There are many money changers and an ATM at the airport.( lots of ATM's in town too).We knew it would be expensive here ,as the 11km ride from the airport was $25.00. There was little information available on arrival . Although there were lots of buses ,we had no idea how long the wait for one.

Purple Bus

by adnan1977

From Brunei International Airport.Take purple Bus and this bus will stop at the bus terminal centre in Bandar Seri Begawan. Bandar Seri Begawan is the capital city of Brunei. The trip cost you around BND$1.5. From Bus Terminal Centre.From this centre you can go anyway you like. For example outside Brunei , if you want to go Limbang, Serawak Malaysia, just use the purple bus. You can also go to miri by catching the bus that stated BSB to Belait. From Beliat you can go to miri by catching Beliat -miri bus. Just remember this, LImbang and MIri is not part of Brunei. They are belong to malaysia.

Bus to city centre

by funggarybar

The price index in Brunei is comparable to that of Australia. Around 3 times the expenses of Hong Kong. I am paying HK$ 25 for MacDonald meal in HK but have to spend equivalent to HK$ 70 for the same in Australia. 20 minutes trip from the Brunei airport to city centre takes about 35 USD. If you want to save pocket money, you may choose to walk 5-10 min to the main road outside the airport for the public van that will cost you less than one USD single trip. Once reaching the van/bus terminal at city centre neighbouring to the water village, there are numerous vans same price to take you to final destination. Brunei is small. Most hotels can be reached in 30 min from city centre. Whether to spend 2 USD and 45 min on van (plus minute waiting time) or 20min taxi at the fee of about 35USD to reach same destination is your choice.

Taxis and Buses

by malakingtete

Taxis are very few even in the city of Darussalam. It was less than 50 as I was told by our Tour guide. Good thing we were on a package tour and didn't have any problems since we are to be fetched & dropped off by a service. At night, there are no more buses because most of the citizens have their own vehicles.
