First reply 😊
Have you tried sri lankan airlines...the hospitality is very good and the food is pretty cool too...the cabin crew is always cheerful and the seats are amazing....do you agree?
I are not the WORST Passanger
I mean you
Hi Josh this was a fantastic vlog,there was a beautiful vibe on the flight,which stood out,imagine a rugby 🏉 team in Brunei,we a rugby family and our team is Munster.I am getting addicted to your vlog,if I only found you during lockdown,two and a half years is a long time.Did you get a amenity kit?? also slow down in the lounge so we can see the food better .
Royal Brunei have one of the most polite and caring Air Host/hostesss. Its a reflection of Brunei people in general. I will fly with them whenever I get a chance.
@Donovan Campbell yeah, especially people like you
@Donovan Campbell are you a fuckin Americunt because mostly they are racist and soo immoral kind of people ewwww
@@awg_nayan2332 just ignore him.He is just a fat,lonely and sad little boy who cannot get a girl for a prom night.
@@x1achilles99 good to know that just a law can make a country medieval though it is one of the richest and happiest country.
@@x1achilles99 then dont ride our Airline then we dont even need a people like u to ride the Airline with us....scumbag
Hey i am from brunei, thanks for choose our Royal Brunei Airlines.
Hi hani
Love this airline, have travelled Melbourne to London several times, and each trip has been lovely. The crew are genuine, attentive and gun. The cleanest planes, I have ever flown. Good good. I can only afford economy, but love it.
Sry I’m late but gun?
I totally agree with you. They have never failed to impress me. Being a Malaysian, I don't mind the transit from Kota Kinabalu, as it is my preferred airline. Try flying with children, its even more impressive. Truly a very genuine airline to fly with
Yes i make that route too and they make a transit flight almost a direct flight!
So excited to see this....I am flying with them on Tuesday from Heathrow...my husband works in Brunei and I am staying with him for three months ...can’t wait ❤️
I was flying Royal Brunei a few times in Economy more as 15 years ago from Frankfurt to Bangkok. Even in this time it was a pleasure to fly with Royal Brunei. In this time they have had a song "Royal Brunei is Asians best" and yes, it was. I really regret that the not more fly from Frankfurt. It's nice to see that is still very good. Thanks for your videos, I like the style you make it very much.
🖒❤❤❤
Royal Brunei was the very first flight I went on to Australia in 1998 as a kid.
They was amazing and I would love to try them again, they looked after us very well made sure we was never hungry or thirsty.
2:22 Josh and malaysia airlines... Still a better love story than twilight. 😂😂😂
Lol you make my day
I worked in Brunei Darussalam for several years and flew regularly on RBA. In those days they operated the 777 on longhaul routes and the Heathrow service was via Dubai. Business Class passengers could use the lounge in Dubai and there was always a scramble to disembark, go through transit security and spend as much time as possible in the lounge to get a couple of drinks. The crews were always excellent and I miss my time in “The Abode of Peace”.
Very happy that you like RB cabin crew service. I was their crew in the 90s and early 2000s and being a small airline, we beat the giants as we were awarded the best first class service for 2 consecutive years! Cabin crew have always been the asset for RB, genuine and lots of smile❤
I totally agree abt BI. I flew them a lot during 1980s/1990s on the route FRA BKK BWN (sometimes stopover in DXB). During those times they still had First Class with gold platted seat belt buckles n wash basins. The service was always excellent. Using B767-300. First was 1/2/1 layout if I remember it correctly. Wonderful perk was that they accepted any full fare Business Class Ticket of LH or TG n put u into their First Class. Sadly they gave up Frankfurt so I definitely will try them again ex LHR to BWN… Thanks for this great review!
My first time hearing about this airline, the food looks decent (breakfast looks amazing), lovely plane (gotta love the Rolls Royce engines).
You are right, Josh. I flew RBA from KL to London in Business class, and it was superb.
I so agree, Best Economy Class too and love the prayer at the start so cool.
I flew this airline four times economy more than 10 years ago, including to/from Australia. I had great experiences with very nice cabin crew and very filling and tasty meals, that were larger than on other airlines. The on screen entertainment consisted only of the flight map with the direction to Mecca, so take your own entertainment such as a book, iPad, etc.
Overall, the flights reminded me of flying in the past when flying was rarer, and a special experience when “getting there was half the fun.”
I never fly with Royal Brunei, and I don't know what is feel yet. How about Singapore? I thought Singapore is best airlines
I with my Filipina partner have flown Royal Brunei myself going from London Heathrow to Manila Philippines with a change at Brunei to an Airbus for the local flight to Manila and we were flying in economy, The service was extremely good and the price of the flight was good also and if the price is good again I will 100% use them again.
Glad that you made a review on RB :D didnt expect to see this! Last flew back to Brunei in January. Keep it up! And you earn a subscriber from me
Wow!Wow!Wow! fantastic.
RB most certainly gets my vote.The business class is great especially the food and cabin service.
The cabin crew were so friendly.
I was suprized the size of the onboard galley its huge.
Josh I loved this review so thank you and a big thumbs up👍
The best Airline review channel I have found on TH-cam. Good video taking,good sound system(less disturbing noise) and perfect clarity ..your review is just like what I needed know ...Have a good day Josh
What a lovely airline and superb video , a simple genuine smile is with so so much 👍 great work josh
I love these reviews of the more exotic airlines! It’s too bad that they had the same generic 787 Business Class of many other carriers . I had a similar experience with AZAL on their 787 where the screen was fairly small and far away.
Have used RB over and over, from Australia-UK and vice-versa, since the days they flew the 777. Have always found their flights, and service to be top notch. We will continue to use them.
Oh hello Malaysia Airlines 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Well Brunei is our neighbour. I live in Miri which is hours drive away from Bandar Seri Begawan.
I love your review! The hospitality on board is superb. I always fly to KL using RB.
I had the opportunity to fly the shortest route I ever had from Bandar Ser Begawan to Kota Kinabalu. I recall they even offered us drinks and small snack. That was interesting. It was a spotless A319.
I think the flight time was around 15 minutes.
Superb flight review and well - described content in the video. Keep it up.
Another fantastic video Josh! As displayed in your Spice Jet video, the flight crew can make or break a flight and on Royal Brunei they seemed very genuine and wanting to go the extra mile for you. Customer Service is everything! Spice Jet execs should take a lesson from this video. And still poking fun at Malaysia Airlines haha😂
WOW, not what I expected. Great Review! 👍
Both Qatar and Emirates also play the prayer before departure.
It translates to “Glory to Him who has brought this [vehicle] under our control, though we were unable to control it [ourselves], and indeed, to Our Lord we will surely return”
My wife and I flew with Royal Brunei 9 years ago Melbourne-London with stops in Brunei and Dubai on their 787 Dreamliner, they were still very new planes when we flew. We had great flights in both directions with them, the crew went above and beyond and I ended up chatting away to the crew for a long time and they were very open and friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to fly with them again. My only disappointment was at Brunei airport they were upgrading the airport and a lot of work was going on and the aircon wasn't working so it was over 40c in the airport so everyone couldn't wait to get back on the plane for some cool air haha. On the flight they served us these pastie type food items that had a lattice of pastry, not sure what it was but we both loved it and I regret not asking the crew what it was as it was really delicious. 5*
Been there done that in 2015, flew Heathrow -Bandar-Melbourne, I'm a bit like you, I decided that flying out of Heathrow was cheaper. Alright by kicking the passengers off in Dubai at 0300 was a little over the top. You're right about the small airline, same aircraft from Bandar to Melbourne, nice little economy class suite, pretty comfortable, food service was good, although in economy there is no menu card, which could be improved, my choice was meat or fish. Arrival into Melbourne early about 0500.
On the way back it was really good again, although quite full, as far as Bandar. The flight from Melbourne to Bandar is only 6.5 hours, after going through security again, we had a couple of hours to kill before going off to Heathrow. I was sat two rows from the rear bulkhead, same as before, meat or fish, breakfast served 90 minutes before arrival into Heathrow, consisted of an omelette, veal sausage, mushrooms. The quality of the food was superb and the crew were great.
i'm from Brunei!! Glad u enjoyed it:D
Shading Malaysia airlines none stop in this video 😂🙌🏻
Intersting to malaysia
Air Brunei is among my favorite airlines in Asia.
Awesome video. Had a smile on my face during the whole video. Do i envy you coz u get to travel a lot and i dont coz of the lack of money, its videos like these which help me in quenching my thirst for travel. Thanks and Kudos.
You're awesome 😎😎 Thanks for the another amazing video!
Excellent video and I always enjoy watching your videos.
how cute and lovely
they look so friendly and peaceful
Nice video. I can see your experience was a really nice one. Iove to try out Royal Bruni. He seemed so happy with the flight.
I see what you did there when you greeted the MAS A350. 😂
Just booked with these in September to go from Heathrow to Brisbane, couldn't believe the price compared to Etihad and Emirates...... £600 return against £1050 from both of the others (and all flights taking off and landing within 1-2 hours of each other, same dates, so basically the same travel and landing times). Looking forward to seeing what I've booked! Lol.
how was it?
@@abdirisaq03 brilliant. I'd go with them again no problem. Obviously it's a dry airline, but as I'm a non-drinker, that didn't bother me. And it was worth paying the £25 to go in the executive lounge at Brunei. The showers and food were superb.
Cool👍
Thanks for the review, don't hear much about R.B.
Great reviews!💙
Hey Josh awesome video again. Thanks. I have a friendly request for your future videos. Please do not play the music during takeoff roll, climbing and landing. We would love to hear the airplane engines and boost our adrenaline rush! Thanks. How many people agree with me?😀
I know 1-2-1 is the new standard configuration with great privacy but there is a real sense of space in the old, simple 2-2-2 cabin set up.
How Josh Cahill titles videos: Review: AIRLINE AIRCRAFT: OBNOXIOUSLY HYPERBOLIC SUPERLATIVE!?!
Great video ! Sad to see light loads, the service and crew seem good !
Thank you. Your reviews are very honest. I am now considering Royal Brunei when I travel to Europe from Australia. I have no issue with the dry flight at all. Your PR premium economy review was also very helpful as I was also wasn't too sure about the extra cost.
2:24 “Oh, hello Malaysian Airlines” 😂😂
Tell you something new, As an Asian, we tend to like dry rice because they kind of have that bouncy feel in it so yeah you are in an Asian airline maybe you will get that kind of DRY rice.
"So you like it rough" lool wow
Also they know about your experience beforehand; could it be that airlines now give extra special treatment to you for good PR?
You know it’s very hard to stay below the radar nowadays since industry people know me BUT I can tell when it becomes fake and when someone is authentic and genuine. They are very much like this!
It is genuine, i tried several different airlines before. But whenever i fly with royal brunei, the crew seems genuinely nicer. I knew that cabin crews are not required to stow passenger’s hand luggage into the overhead compartment, the crews from RBA are always willing to help anyway.
Just recently a crew from this airline went viral in Malaysia because he was helping a senior citizen eat. He was basically feeding the old man and cleaned up after him after. Such a heartwarming thing to see
Yay finally another video 👍👍
Excellent! The review and the Royal Brunei airline.
Kinda fun he still record that malaysian airline airport scene 😂😂
Hi Relllz!!! Haha Glad you've met my friend!
im from Brunei and im happy to watch this☺️☺️☺️💖💖💖
Josh, I’ve long been an early subscriber of yours. I can’t remember if you’ve ever shared with us what you do that compels you to travel so much?
This is luxury in economy ..that why I like to fly small airline.
Awesome reviews... Everyone please support him.... I really like his videos
This might just be my favourite video of yours. Love it. First review of this airline ... especially with the 'Malaysia Airlines' joke to begin with and the food... it was very nice.
Because they are wealthy. Nothing to lose so relaxed and helpful!
i'm watching this flight foodage at 3 a.m & my stomach growling
Wow!! I have enjoyed your videos, but for me to miss this for almost 2 years is embarrassing. Royal Brunei looks fantastic, even without alcohol (you said I could bring my own?). I was a flight attendant many moons ago, but the smile on that crew's face and the service you received will make me fly that airline as soon as the restrictions are released. To be honest, I believe you are a little bit fussy/particular on the service at times, but you are always sincere. I'm in Minnesota, USA, and this past season I spent a substantial amount of time fishing in ice shacks, which would probably kill you, so even an Air Blue flight for me would great!
I've flown with R.B a lot of times now. It's the most peaceful, international experience. No alcohol policy ( business exception) means no disruption from obnoxious passengers. It surprises me how many Aussies can't go 26 hrs without grog. Booking is arduous on their website, so best to book through a 3rd party. The reviewer states you can bring alcohol on board, but that's not favoured. Best to show cultural respect for other passengers. There is a vibe to fit into and prayers said prior to take off. This is a good, honest review
Josh Cahill I have been lately watching your reviews and it’s great. You are being as honest as possible and most importantly you are being natural and not putting up an act. Well done. I hope you don’t become like the other blogger who you speak about in some of your videos. I did meet him at the business class lounge at Muscat Intl. Airport in 2018 and till I met him I was a great fan - as I am a great fan of aviation however seeing his attitude and the way he responded - it was very sad and that impression will never change. Josh you are doing great and please be humble - many of us enjoy what all of you do and respect it - so please be yourself and don’t put up acts like the other aviation blogger.
There is hardly anyone in economy? Not many people going to Brunei, it seems.
And I agree, very charming crew👍
Love from India bro🤙🏻🤙🏻😊😊😊
Loved the report as normal. Bet Dennis Bunnick will do a report just to get the PJ'S
keep up the good work
Great video Josh.
Josh! Great video as always - hope to see you next year on ITB again
You make fabulous videos
First video of yours I've watched....planning a visit to Brunei in the autumn from Singapore. Looks like I might forego miles I'd earn flying SQ from SIN to get this experience.
I haven't as yet flown with royal Brunei but I am hoping to next year to get to Europe/UK; what I especially like is that the prices are usually one of the lowest and that they don't serve alcohol. I'm not anti alcohol or a teetotaller but I honestly don't know why some people think that it is their right to get drunk on a flight which so often leads to an argument or a fight. I could say a lot worse than what has already been posted on here about their laws which I despise with every bone in my body but this is about their airline of which I have heard only good things from those that have flown with them. I would love to spend a couple of days in Brunei too and I believe that you can do a tour of the oil fields there which would be fascinating.
u should visit brunei one day too...most people welcomes you at there:)
I just read the whole comment section❤️💔. Lotsa hate & lotsa love also. Love the content💓💓
absolutely true
The flight crews are really friendly 👍👍😎😎noiiccee
Looks like the best crew ♥️
Love this
In the 80's the only entertainment was on 1 screen at the front of the cabin. You had to purchase headphones that plugged into a jack & it was in mono & also had music . Then came in flight phones that required a kings ransom to use. Now we are spoiled with all the gear we have available to pass the time on a flight. At 6'3" the most important thing for me on a flight is leg room.
I am 6’2” and agree about leg room.
Please review garuda indonesia! It is longer, made top 10 but very underrated. Impeccable service even in economy.
15:23 What ...... A rolls royce Engine Really!
RR is very good with jet engines.
@@niteshsingla25 true🖒
Great video Josh! Good to have met up with you, albeit a bit short. I hope you'll come by again to Brunei so I can show you the hidden side of Brunei 😄
Thanks!!! Likewise!
17.10 It's 2019 - why isn't anyone calling him out on such a comment?
Great airline
Great crew
Greetings from New York
Hi Josh, i just love how your reviews are so genuine but sadly in most of the videos the audio sound is very low when you speak but then suddenly the music comes up which is loud. Please keep it balanced. Just a small feedback as i love to watch your videos. Thank you.
Thank U! I'm glad you like our airline. 😁
@@markl6122 oh gosh.. .Another fucking west....
Josh at least you won't be leaving the airplane singing the song with the lyrics:
SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME, I'M TIRED AND I WANNA GO TO BED. HAD A LITTLE DRINK 'BOUT AN HOUR AGO AND IT WENT STRAIGHT TO MY HEAD..."
Great plane that doesn't serve alcohol!
true
I took this flight from London with a connection in Brunei continuing on to Melbourne in January and I have to agree with you. It's an amazing airline and the food was awesome. I will definitely fly them again. xo
Is the bring your own alcahol apply to all classes or just business???
Anthony Deas it’s just business i think
how can you get a bottle of champagne on board????? Fluids??????@@waiekhairul9270
Josh! Ive been binge watching your channel today, watched all your raw reviews on the most exotic airlines I've never heard of until today and boy oh boy, imagine the surprise I had when I found out you also made reviews on my country's airline! Glad you enjoyed the flight! Lol the last three vids I watched before this was you getting upset over the Tunisia airlines, then the gov sanctioned iranian flight and that dramatic Air peace airlines, I was like "I hope RB dont screw anything up.." and after watching this vid, I just laughed it off, how dumb am I to even doubt RBA's topnotch service! My childhood memory of my first RBA flight to Kota Kinabalu, how the flight attendence served us welcoming drinks during that very short 20-30mins flight. Then the 8 hr RB flight to London where I fondly remember being so full from the complimentary instant noodles and drinks..and the crew trying to give me assurance during flight turbulance🤣. BRUNEIAN HOSPITALITY AT ITS BEST. So proud of RBA. Kudos!
wow, great service, better than the last video I watched when you went on Jet !
The crew looked and sounded happy and cool lot. You can't fake that on 13 hour trip.
Absolutely very deasant hostess... ❤️💚... Really adorable and loving.. 💕😘... Great hospitality... Love Royal Brunai.. One of the best airline
Hey Josh. Please do a review on JAL and ANA Japan next time. Cheers~
Hey man , you should try the new gulf Air dreamliner..
Oh Gees, we can bring our own wine? Man, I wish I knew it last time..
Josh, you're high-key really cute! Also love the reviews!!
You ought to come to Russia and try out all the airlines that have popped up here and the good old classics. AFL, S7, Pobeda, UTAir, Ural, Rossiya, Aurora, Nordwind, and the dozen or so other airlines we have to offer. I am looking forward to seeing you in a Yak-42 :D
1000th like is mine.....
Yo Josh, please do a review on airpeace airline. They have started there flights to Dubai. Will love to see a review on a Nigerian airline
Royal Brunei crew are always superb.
