    Our member Dalescott repots on a recent business class trip to London with Royal Brunei.
    My wife and I travel to and from London in Business class, every year around March/April. We fly with a different airline every year, after having used EK for a number of years. This year we used Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA), and we were not disappointed.
    He describes the aircraft as 'ex SIA Boeing 777-200ER so they are not rubbish'. The service is 'first rate'. The fare was $3,800 which is cheaper than Qantas Premium Economy.


    The catch? Royal Brunei doesn't provide alcohol – but they are happy to serve you your own! This is clearly a problem for some of our members
    the lack of alcohol for me is a bit of an issue: after all 100% of my travel is leisure and when I hope on a plane I want to celebrate.
    Other members take a more pragmatic view
    For the money you save, you could be taking a bottle of Mouton Rothschild or Lafite on each way for your booze supply, and still have change. Alternatively, think of it as someone offering you $2k-$4k to go without alcohol for 48 hours.

    Virgin "Business" from Bali to brisbane is NOT worth it

    Dear Sir / Madame

    You really have no right to call the service you run from Bali a business class service

    From your lounge partner in Denpasar charging me to access the Internet, to your crappy...

    Re: Annoying Internet plans in hotels that cap the downloads

    Yes, but that's why I no longer use hotel Internet.

    When in Australia I use my mobile phone's 3G hotspot and suck up the 2.5GB that I have on my phone.

    When in New Zealand (my most frequented...

    Re: Qantas BNE/SYD/MEL - LAX $850

    I just did a dummy booking for Sept 12. 2 people SYD/LAX return 1823 euro = 2300 AUD. The same flights on Qantas were $3700.

    Re: Changes to Qantas Lounges in Singapore

    And I'm not a fan of the F shower - no hot water on my last two visits (Feb and May) - I've taken to using the J showers instead.

    Synergy (WA) does as does Alinta (gas in WA). However Alinta won't do it for direct debit - laziness on their part I guess.

    Re: I need your *urgent* advice. QF or VA in business to LA?

    I've researched Air NZ's J class on the 773 and it's quite impressive. I have flown Virgin Atlantic J (herringbone seat) a few times in the past and whilst Air NZ has the same product, it's nice to...

    Re: Secret list exposes Aussie passport holders' data risk

    I think you will find that these people are getting an extra layer of security - their information is more valuable than yours so should be protected. Often that is within organisations rather than...
