Thanks to the airline I now have a 7hr stopover at the airport (not a 2hr one).... just wondering what the airport facilities are like and if there are day rooms available for hire?
Thanks in advance!
Airport Facilities
Brunei Airport does not have many facilities for a stopover like that. There are a few eating places - but seven hours in the transit area would be a while. I would suggest you use the time to have a look around Brunei. You would need to get a transit visa ($10 I think). The airport is only 10 minutes from the main Brunei town area...and also about the same from the Gadong Shopping Mall. You could get to see quite a bit in that time. Depending on budget,etc, you could book a car and driver/guide (from Hertz, I have used) for 4 hours or so and get them to show you around Brunei.
Airport Facilities
I probably should mention flight arrives 6.30pm and then we depart at 1.30am.... Will there be much to do out and about? Dinner I guess?
Allowing time for your flight arriving a bit late (which the RBA Brisbane flight often does!), it will be sunset when you arrive in Brunei. You could get a cab into Brunei town area and have a ride on a water taxi around the village and a wander a round the old part of town. Alternatively, just get to the Gadong Mall - a large shopping centre area 10 mins from airport. Plenty of places to have some dinner, wander around shops - and a cinema if you have more time. I think the shops shut there at around 10.
