Fly Royal Brunei
My wife and I have experienced the great service supplied by Royal Brunei, now departing from Melbourne at a convenient time of 12:15pm, making it an easy to connect for Gippsland travellers who can have a leisurely trip to the airport by Gippy Shuttle who provides pick up from your door at 7am and delivers you to Melbourne at 9:30 which gives you ample time to comply with all the usual custom and immigration requirements and time to have that relaxing cup of coffee. (please note these times are altered after the end of day light savings).
Royal Brunei are one of the few airlines to offer the use of one plane right through to your final destination.
The fabulous Boeing Dreamliner 787 and fly to London Heathrow, stopping to refuel with a total time including time on the ground of 27 hours and 10 minutes.
Arriving into London at 6:25am with easy connections to most parts of Britain by tube rail and bus to most London areas, trains and planes to other parts of Britain.
Your return connections are just as good with a 5:45pm (17:45 hours) from London give you almost all day to travel to Heathrow. With a flying time of 26 hours and 15 minutes, arriving into Melbourne early next day to get the Gippy Shuttle back home to your door.
Yes there are shorter travel times, remember the difference between flying times and travel times, the latter includes time taken on the ground to refuel.
Another selling point is because you don’t change planes, you don’t change terminals at the connecting points of your journey.
Now the price, which is $999.00, slightly cheaper than last year and for high season $1200.00.
Also one of the best value business class fares of $4540.00.
By the way, you may have stop overs in each direction.
This offer expires 31 March 2018, but I wouldn’t wait until that time as last year most of the best prices and seats sold out.
