anyway, May/June have the same price as far as I can see. it doesnt include taxes. you can book & look at the specific dates that you want 
on www.bruneiair.com and check out how much the taxes are as well.

FWIW we found Malaysia to be 2nd best and they had a seat sale starting the weekend but you have to get in quick - there are only a small number of economy seats on each flight at the 'headline rate'.
BTW it was Sheikh Makhtoum etc who died (like the Queen here!)

I think that the Emirates aircraft code for this one is 335.

Nice flight times for us too.
We paid £1547 including all taxes etc for 2 adults and a 4 year old with Emirates. Fares minus taxes are £498 for Adult and £353 for child - just one stop off in Dubai, we didn't want a stopover so we've only got about 2 and a half hours in between connection.
Just had to book two flights for the in-laws too as they want to come with us
So even better

Once you've considered the extra travelling time and the cost of parking and the fact that we have a 4 year old who is gonna be tired enough after the long flight from Oz - Birmingham is favourite! Well we'd consider Manchester at a push, we can get there in about an hour or hour and a half maybe, depends on traffic. Can get to Birmigham in 25 minutes so that's a big difference

Just a tip, the further in advance you book the flights the better - I don't know when you're planning on travelling but the agent told me next time I want to go to book them 11 months in advance, that way I'll get the cheap seat allocation.
