Flights in July 2011?

Did you get a flight Englishman? you could try some of the other middles east airlines to KL, i got some good deals on Eithiad and gulf air for my kids, (royal brunei is expensive and not a good flight , no drink, service isnt the greatest.

Where in Brunei are you going? Bandar or Kuala Belait? if the latter, look at flying into Miri, its quicker to get to KB from there than Brunei itself.

KL isnt much cheaper than Singapore, infact, just as expensive for some things. (nights out etc etc)

As it happens, I booked a flight with Emirates for Aug from Birmingham to Hong Kong this week. I still need to get a connection from HK to Bandar Seri Begawan, but I'm less concerned about that leg as flights in the region are usually fairly cheap.

I'm not sure whether Miri or BSB is better? I'll be staying about 15 mins outside BSB, but I don't know the name of the place yet. I'm going there in April (flight to BSB already booked), I'll suss it out then and sort a flight to either Miri or BSB when I know the geography a bit better

If its BSB your staying fly direct to Brunei, Miri is only good for going to Kuala Belait.

Hong Kong, to Brunei would be cheapest on Air Asia to KL then onto Brunei, (book it early and the cost is next to nothing) alternatively you could go to manila from Hong Kong and get Cebu pacific form Manila down. (Cebu pacific is much better than Air asia)

Happy travels

Thanks Bruneicop
I haven't searched for flights yet, going via KL with Air Asia is a nice option, but TBH I fly so much these days and have so many connections I just want to get to my destination as quickly as possible. Airlines flying into Brunei is limited, so I may end up going direct from HKG - BWN with Royal Brunei or Cathay Pacific, unless any of the HK based low cost operators fly to BWN. I'll look on skyscanner and see who flies direct.
