Well, we finally made it back to Edinburgh and it only took exactly 65 hours since we left Australia!

We had just about every type of delay you could imagine – an initial 6 hour delay in Brunei which turned into a 16 hour delay! Royal Brunei Air were kind enough to give us a hotel room for the initial delay but made us stay (in the boring airport) for the other 8 bloody hours we were delayed – with NO FOOD! Because of this delay we missed our connecting flight from London to Edinburgh. When we explained our situation the good people at BMI offered us flights for on;y £180 … EACH! Even though we originally only paid £40 each. Thank you to the nice people at BMI =D

So we decided to stay the night in a nice little hotel in Earls Court called the Oxford Hotel which was very nice and pretty darn good value too. The next morning we were on a train from Euston London to Edinburgh where the fun continued with extensive flooding throughout Scotland and alike! After hours and hours of delays we finally made back to Edinburgh exactly 65 hours after we left Australia!

So in conclusion, I would advise against flying with Royal Brunei Air as we found out these sort of delays occur around once a fortnight and I would think twice when booking with BMI only because their customer service and ability to understand different circumstances was quite poor.

Good day.
