I would put them in the same category as a Hawaiian Airlines or China Airlines...they're no SQ, but they are comfortable.

The biggest thing to note is no alcohol is supplied on board, you can bring your own which will be served to you, but they have none of their own for religious reason.

Thanks for posting the fares - what great prices. Return to BKK for $568 inc tax - crazy. Unfortunately I must study (gotta pass those uni exams!)... So no travel till June

My sister flew with them recently. She said flight was ok, but you have to spend a night in Brunei, which is pretty expensive and boring and quite culturally sensitive (cover up women). It was very warm and the place looked empty.

It's good if you want to spend a night in Brunei, but for most of us who just want to get to the destination, it just wastes more time.
