Super-delayed flight!
Pros: None....RBA shld give everyone a free voucher. Flight is supposed to arrive at 23:30. We landed 02:15. And they let people starved serving the snacks an hour late as promised. Then passengers were moved from one gate to another. It was inhumane and no explanations at all about the delay.review from

nice trip
Pros: legroom good despite A320 being much inferior to B387 Found an aisle seat helpful to older passenger flight on time cabin crew friendly and efficient selected fish meal.bangus..very good did not miss alcohol captain spoke normal English happy with travellers prayer good airbridge on arrival with nearby toilets pleasant arrival procedure for overnight stay
Cons: A 320 necessarily lowers the quality compared with dreamliner eg access to toilets and aisle width and entertainment system at manila the`woman at checkout spoke very poor english so had to repeat several times... and she expressed doubt about any seat vacant as`i was late in the queue.. she resolved this by passing me to her supervisor no other problemsreview from

Super cabin crew all smiling and keen to assist...all very smart dress.Good movie selection on average screen. Good service pillows blankets. Above average lunch with quality beef. Good follwup refreshments. Good air quality. Good use of shaded window effect.Liked
Cons: Worst was slow moving line at Melbourne. Not enough check ins. Missed the tail and fuselage cameras on 780 and 750. Seat covers look cheap and worn. Coffee and orange flavour not best. Screens not best eg Cathay and Qatar. Women cabin crew good to dress islamic but too restrictive. No t easy th o hear captain messages. Seat design only average. Bandar airport ver y beautiful but need better restaurant.review from

Overview of Royal Brunei Airlines
Royal Brunei Airlines offers a range of international flights out of its hub in Bandar Seri Begawan. Services are available to more than 12 countries spanning across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. A close partnership is held with China, offering approximately 8 separate destinations. It is recognized as the official flag carrier of Brunei and is solely owned by the government. RB Link operates as a subsidiary of the carrier, focusing on regional flights to both Indonesia and Malaysia.
A mix of Airbus and Boeing aircraft make up the airline’s fleet, with a preference for long-distance jets that can facilitate transcontinental routes. Models such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 787 are regularly flown. The aircraft are decorated with a minimal yellow tail, while a special remark is emblazoned on one A320, which celebrates Hassanal Bolkiah receiving a golden jubilee.
Passengers can choose between Economy and Business Class when flying with Royal Brunei Airlines. In the upgraded section, you’ll find a padded seat that reclines to a completely flat bed. Business Class toilets also feature bidets. Alcoholic beverages are not served onboard due to the airline’s Muslim policies; however, customers are allowed to bring their own alcohol to consume on the flight.
While it is not part of an airline alliance, Royal Brunei Airlines holds codeshare agreements with several major global carriers. Among the list is Turkish Airlines, China Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and Korean Air. Through these partnerships they are able to provide more connected services and offer a greater network throughout Europe and Asia.
