Overview

Most visitors fly into and out of Bandar Seri Begawan. Brunei has direct air connections to 27 destinations including regional Asian capitals and a number of Australian cities. Because of the difference in exchange rates, it's almost 40 per cent cheaper to fly to Brunei from Malaysia than vice versa. Departure tax is US$3 to Malaysia and Singapore and US$7 to all other destinations.

There are express boats between Bandar Seri Begawan and Lawas and Limbang in Sarawak, and the duty-free island of Labuan off Sabah. There are boats between Labuan and Sabah.

The main overland route is via bus from Mirir to Sarawak, but it's also a relatively easy matter (although fairly expensive) to travel overland between Limbang or Lawas in Sarawak to Bangar in Brunei.
