    Nice to see a report from my home airport, Melbourne. I understand that Royal Brunei will allow you to bring on board wine, that you have purchased at the terminal, and will serve it for you. Thanks for a great video.

      Yes you can bring your own. But I don't need it - and it might not be the best idea to drink a full bottle of wine by yourself within 6 hours when you know you have 20 hours of flying after that... (every airport you stop you have to pass security again)

    Even though it is a dry airline they do offer very good Business Class flights to many destinations. You can have a drink with the duty free you bring on board...if you want a gin and tonic they will provide the tonic. Hope your nuts were warm !! Thanks mate...great deal !! Well done !!

    This most be an older video or did you get the planes age wrong you said the plane was built in 2014 and it was four years old or did you mean to say six years old?

    • @PlaneSpottingBerlin
      @PlaneSpottingBerlin  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The age displayed always refers to the day the flight was taken. It was 4 years old in 2018 (Thats when I took this flight).
      Now in 2020 the aircraft is 6 years old - correct. The delivered date shows the right age when the video gets older.
      Makes sense?

Simple ?? did you film this in 2018 or 2020 there is no need to write a story on it either you filmed it in 2018 making the aircraft 4 years old or you filmed it in 2020 making it six years old which one is it in english.

    Like your video, but not Royal Brunei based on their recent human rights discrimination, but you flew them 2018, so your forgiven :)
    Every airline should be "dry" way to many people getting drunk and causing problems for hard working crew and passengers.
    Sensible lad taking your shoes off after climbout - only idiots take shoes off on the ground, evacuation in slippers is not good!
    The amenity kit is almost the same as Emirates economy class. Looking forward to 2/3 and 3/3 .... you got me hooked :)

    Your trip report is interesting. However, it raises the question about just where we draw the line when it comes to human rights.
    Last year Brunei introduced legislation that would allow death by stoning for homosexuality. So whilst we as travellers enjoy the freedom of flight, in that country suffering is created for individuals the regime chooses to persecute.
