When is the best time to fly to Brunei?
Peak season
Brunei may be one of the smallest island nations in Asia, but it’s one of the richest; it has no taxes and healthcare and education are free. The capital, Bandar Seri Begawan (sometimes referred to as just ‘BSB’), is a lake city and small enough to be easily traversed by foot. In terms of sightseeing, people take cheap flights to Brunei for the beaches, hiking, mosques, Sultan’s Palace, shopping, boat safaris and sampling Asian cuisine. A tropical destination, it’s hot and humid all year round in Brunei with the temperature averaging 27C. There is no distinct peak season but February to October is when most people book flight tickets as it’s slightly cooler and has less rain; though it does rain consistently throughout the year. There is no need to worry about prices going up in particular seasons either, Brunei is an off-the-beaten track for tourism so prices remain consistent year round.
