This was our first time flying with Royal Brunei. The plane was operated by the 787 Dreamliner. The seats offered sufficient legroom, and were wide enough for myself personally. Travelling with my fiance, I can say that she had no issues with the seat at all.

Usually I find Airline food to be rather, dry and bland, but Royal Brunei served some great food. There was a choice of meals, between, Chicken, Beef and Vegetarian. (Being an airline from an Islamic country, there is no Pork offered.)

A snack was served, followed by a meal. I had chicken with rice, and some of my fiance's shepherds pie, and in all honesty, I would have happily eaten another meal.

Drinks were readily available.

The entertainment system was good, loads of films to choose from, and something for everyone. There were games, films, Popular TV series, documentaries, and music. As the flight to Dubai was 6.5 Hours, there was more than enough to keep myself entertained, although I don't know if this is the case for passengers travelling beyond Dubai, on to Brunei.

The staff were very pilot, friendly, and quick to assist. One thing I forgot to mention, was my screen crashed, so I had to use my fiance's in flight entertainment system to call a member of crew over.

However, they reboot my screen and I was soon watching a film again.

Our return flight was delayed by 3 Hours due to a technical fault, but the crew kept us informed. Royal Brunei handed us vouchers to visit a good few of food joints at Dubai terminal one. Despite the flight departing late, the staff remained professional, friendly and were quick to assist us.

Breakfast was served two hours before arriving into LHR. There was a choice of two meals, although I can't recall what they were, nor did I myself eat. My fiance wanted to choose her meal, but due to popular demand, the meal she wanted was no longer available.

All in all, despite a few hiccups, which I can't say were major, it was a great flight, with great staff, and I'd happily book with Royal Brunei again.
