We would recommend booking flights as much in advance as possible.

For reference, Brunei’s airport code is BWN and is located in the capital of Bandar Seri Begawan.

When we fly back we usually search for available flights on Expedia and then go onto individual airline websites to check for cheaper prices – a few days before or after the date we used in our Expedia search.

FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM;

Royal Brunei Airlines does a direct flight from London Heathrow to Bandar Seri Begawan via Dubai.

Since these flights are limited, and usually sell out fairly quickly – we would recommend flying in to either Kuala Lumpur, Singapore or Bangkok and taking a connecting flight to Brunei.

The cheapest airlines, with flights to Kuala Lumpur, from our experience of flying home for university breaks are: Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad and KLM.

From Kuala Lumpur – AirAsia, Malaysian Airlines and Royal Brunei Airlines fly in to Brunei regularly.

FROM THE UNITED STATES;

There are a number of airlines which fly from New York airports to Kuala Lumpur, from which you can take a connecting flight on to Brunei, although these flights are usually partnered flights and might be harder to find.

American Airlines flies from JFK to Kuala Lumpur via Hong Kong for as low as USD$1000 if booked early enough. Alternatively, try your luck online or contact your local travel agent.
