  • Detailed Trip Report of my Royal Brunei Airlines flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to Dubai (DXB) aboard a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft in Economy Class. On my way from London to Melbourne, Australia I found a really great deal on Royal Brunei Airlines - a rather unknown airline in Europe. A few years ago they served other destinations like Amsterdam and Frankfurt - now they only fly to London. About the flight: The cabin was modern looking with comfortable seats, useful amenities, great leg room and a personal entertainment screen with a good selection of movies. Service wise this 6h40mins long flight included 1 warm meal and a snack accompanied by non alcoholic beverages only (national airline of the Muslim country Brunei). The cabin crew was friendly and very helpful at all times - great! And for all you window/wing view seat lovers - my seat was 46K.
    After a brief stop in Dubai (DXB Airport) we boarded the same aircraft again to continue our journey towards Brunei (with a new crew). The next flight from Dubai to Brunei can be found here: • TRIP REPORT | Royal Br... .

    I have flown Royal Brunei a few times And for a small airline it wasn't too bad at all ,I got there safe and sound no dramas along the way . The cabin crew kept us hydrated with juice and water although the IFE is a little limited but I managed to find myself something to watch . I would say it was good value for money although Two stops to Melbourne and it takes a little longer than the traditional one stopper I do like the chance to get off the aircraft for a short while to stretch my legs .

    Man(n) überlege sich mal diese Gesellschaft war in den 80igern bekannt für ihre First Class mit den goldenen Armaturen im Waschraum....Die Sitze und das Essen waren unbeschreiblich gut.Sie hatten den FRA-DXB Dienst damals.... Und heute.... nur noch ein Schatten ihrer selbst.
    Das essen fand ich sehr mickrig...und richtig ein kleiner substantieller Snack wäre nicht schlecht gewesen.
    ABER das schlimmste...für mich...kein champagner, kein Sekt keine Spirits geht gar nicht.
    Bin gespannt auf deine Weiterflüge..Und denke dran, so eine Reise kann man(n) nur als junger Mann absolvieren. GENIESSE es!!!!

    Thank you so much for this video, I am flying from Melbourne to London return in December & wondered if economy was comfortable & you can sleep ok. Do you ask if there are spare seats & they'll move you so you have more room on board the plane? Very much appreciate your footage & now I'm feeling that little more excited than nervous about doing a long haul again after 31yrs. I'm not a fan of flying but obviously since I last flew overseas lots have changed which will make the flight not seem so long.

    • @PlaneSpottingBerlin
      @PlaneSpottingBerlin  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, I was hoping I could find a page where I can see which seats are taken but I think only the Flight Centre where I booked it have that info. Do you have a worst airline or is it the luck of your particular flight & crew on your flight.

    • @PlaneSpottingBerlin
      @PlaneSpottingBerlin  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ask at the gate before boarding. Even during check in people change seats... and it is pure luck to have an empty flight. But happens pretty often to me.
