I got to Bandar Seri Begawan Airport at around 5PM for my 8:35PM flight to Dubai. Brunei's Airport is small and beautiful, easily one of the most passenger friendly airports out there. A vast majority of passengers using the airport seem to be transiting rather than originating in Brunei, meaning that security and immigration are…

Hey Lucky! Awesome review on the RB Skylounge. I heard that there is a public shower area on the lower floor, going down the flight of stairs, where the showers are very spartan but being free and all, it sounds good enough. There is some news lately that someone might be opening up a Transit Room at the lower level below the flight of stairs, with sleeping facilities and your own private bathroom. Now thats something the skylounge lacks . A place to have a good powernap between flights.

Brunei Airport doesn't announce delays. Once all passengers were pushed into a area near the gate for boarding and cannot come out of that area and flight time passed but our flight didn't show up. But time in the board showed original time only. Then had to check for incoming flights in online to find out when our flight will come.

I transit through BWN regularly between Melbourne and Asia/London. There are showers available to the public as well (outside of the lounge, on the lower level). Strangely, I find these to be both cleaner (usually) and more private than the lounge showers, assuming you have your own toiletries and towels! Also, definitely check out the new airside sweets shop, next to gate 2. They sell heaps of interesting local candies, and has become a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

Aussies is the preferred spelling thanks!

Unusual to see both Pepsi and Coke products on offer most airlines and lounges seem to offer one or the other

Donald - shouldn`t you be TWEETING instead of answering here?

So I grew up in Brunei, I am very jealous of you visiting. Can you do a report on your sightseeing? Having lived here until I was 14 I feel like part of my heart still lives there!

That bathroom and shower look like something found in a high school. Very odd. But to me the food looked good. All the chafing dishes seems fresh and topped up, and carefully filled. With so few people going through the lounge I don't know what else you'd want to have. It certainly looks better than wrapped sandwiches and packaged cookies. Still, you're reviews have really given me a push to try and get there. I've been to every country in the region except Brunei. Time to stop flying around it and over it and actually land!

Theyre such an odd little airline and country!
