In all my latest searches for flights Royal Brunei Airlines comes up cheapest.

What is it like?

To be honest I have never heard of them? Where is the stopoff point?.
Apparently the Sunday Times has a good list of Companys offering really cheap flights to Oz, it may be worth checking it out this weekend!

I won't risk it unless it was £100's cheaper. Singapore/Cathay/Malaysia/Emirates seem to get a high rating on here.
Worth paying a little extra for such a long journey IMO

Have a look at www.airlinequality.com. I wouldn't fly with them unless they were really cheap. Seems they use pretty old planes and they go via Brunei which is not very interesting. Emirates are OK and can stop at loads of places. Singapore excellent. Cathay - don't know but good rep. If you want to be assured of comfort don't fly with the cheapo's!

Flew them a couple times, once to Brisbane and back, with a stopover in Brunei. They don't serve alcohol, they broadcast a prayer from the Quran on their internal system before take-off, service was good, pleasant, friendly; take-off, flight and landing smooth enough, like with any western airline. Haven't heard of any accidents with their planes, at least not in the recent (10 years) past.
However, the stopover in Brunei can be boring, as the airport is quite small and not much to do around, especially if your connection is delayed or if you have a long time to wait.
They do offer a few hours trips inside the city (Bandar-Seri-Begawan) if you have the time.

You should do a search on here, think it has been discussed a few times. (i think you can take your own booze as well)

We had a look at them as well as the business flights were coming up cheaper than others but decided on economy in the end with singapore airlines
