Before establishment of AirAsia, some Indonesian workers in Brunei choose to fly to Pontianak, then continue to Brunei by bus, with journey time more than 24 hours.
RBA standards as at the same level as Singapore Air, Garuda, Thai Airways and Silk Air. Flight costs will def be up there and higher than say Air Asia prices.
I tolerate Air Asia sometimes because I have to..not that I enjoy flying with them. It comes down sometimes to connectivity times and getting to a destination in time with sufficient rest time for meetings and also at sensible prices.
At times, Malaysia Airline prices can be very silly.
