Flew with Royal Brunei from Melbourne to London in July/August. Found the staff to be excellent, very friendly and they go out of their way to ensure a comfortable flight. The price was excellent and the quality and service is defintely worth more then the fare paid. The aircraft's are brand new 787's. They are spacious and have excellent legroom, I'm 6'7 and was able to stretch out my legs under the seat in front of me with ease. The best legroom out of any of the major international airlines flying to Europe. Food was great. Good hearty meals and a decent portion size. Hot meals served on all 3 flights. Lots of snacks and drinks offered during the flight. It is a dry airline but being a part cultural thing, not having that glass of wine with my meal wasn't a huge deal, you can bring your own alcohol on board but no-one seemed to take advantage of this. In flight entertainment is good, not the best variety when compared to other majors but a good selection of movies and TV shows to get you through the flight there and back. I didn't notice a huge change in the movies from July to August apart from a couple new additions but this certainly wasn't a big issue. If you want more movies, bring your own laptop. Two stop overs on the journey to London, a 3 hour stop in Brunei which is not too bad. Airport has been renovated and it very comfortable, apart from having poor wifi and the refuel stop in Dubai is a very quick 45 min stop so a good way to stretch your legs ready for the next leg. Will fly them again.
