(08 Jan 2017, 8:31 pm)Andreos1 Never done any of them. What was strange about Brunei?

My strangest has to be Guernsey airport. Not only was it a shack, but passengers were weighed before boarding the Trislander (no more than
an LDV van with wings)

Brunei is a pretty weird country politics-wise. I remember being sat on a RB 777 (before their 787s arrived) reading the inflight magazine, which wished the Sultan a happy 66th birthday which I found weird. The airport itself has all the arrivals come at once and depart at once. There was a good 4-hour period where customers from our flight from Heathrow connecting to northern Borneo were the only people in the airport. It was desolate. State TV was everywhere and was thoroughly bizarre.

Aircraft flown on:

744, 77W, 772, E145, E190, E170, E175, E195, A319, A320, A320NEO, A321, A321NEO, A330-200, A330-300, A340-600 763, 752, 733, 737, 738, CRJ900, CRJ1000
Favourite aircraft: G-STBL/G-ZBKL
