Frequently asked
Does Royal Brunei Airlines offer upgrades?
Royal Brunei Airlines offers an upgrade program: eligible passengers can place a bid to upgrade to a premium cabin (such as Premium Economy or Business), and are only charged if the bid is accepted. Availability depends on fare/cabin type, route, and timing.
What upgrade options does Royal Brunei Airlines offer?
Royal Brunei Airlines offers Bid Upgrade.
How does Royal Brunei Airlines's bid (offer) upgrade work?
You name an amount — within a range shown for your booking — to move up to a higher cabin. It's an offer, not a fixed price: you're only charged if Royal Brunei Airlines accepts it. If your offer isn't accepted you pay nothing and keep your original seat.
How do I check if my Royal Brunei Airlines booking can be upgraded?
Check your specific booking with Upgrade Agent: enter your booking reference and last name and you'll see the upgrade options and price ranges available on your flights — you don't need to dig through Royal Brunei Airlines's website. Visit Royal Brunei Airlines's official upgrade page and enter your booking reference and last name to see available upgrade offers: https://www.flyroyalbrunei.com/brunei/en/book-manage/rb-upgrades/
Who is eligible for a Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade?
Eligibility depends on your fare type, route, and how close to departure you are — not every fare or flight qualifies, and offers usually open within a window before departure. The reliable way to know is to check your specific booking rather than assume.
When am I charged for a Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade?
Only if your offer is accepted. With bid upgrades the charge happens when the upgrade is confirmed — typically in the days before departure. If your offer isn't accepted, there's no charge.
How will I know if my Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade offer was accepted?
Royal Brunei Airlines notifies you — usually by email — if your offer is accepted, typically shortly before departure. Until then your original booking stands, and you can review your offer's status where you submitted it.
Can I change or cancel my Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade offer?
A pending offer can usually be changed or cancelled any time before it's accepted, from the page where you submitted it. Once an offer is accepted and charged, the upgrade is confirmed.
How much does a Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade cost?
There's no fixed price — you offer within a range shown for your booking, which varies by route, cabin, and demand. You choose where in that range to bid; higher offers can have a better chance of being accepted, though the exact acceptance formula isn't published.
Can I use Royal Skies points or miles for a Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade?
Royal Brunei Airlines's loyalty program is Royal Skies. Depending on the route and the offer shown on your booking, upgrades may be payable with points/miles as well as cash — the options available appear when you check your specific booking.
Can I change or cancel my Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade bid after submitting it?
Yes — a Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade bid can be changed or cancelled any time until Royal Brunei Airlines makes its decision. Once a bid is accepted it's final and your card is charged. To update or withdraw it, use Royal Brunei Airlines's Manage My Booking / offer page, or check your booking here (booking ••••••e + last name) and I can help you modify or cancel it.
When is my card charged for a Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade bid?
Only if your bid is accepted. Submitting a Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade bid authorizes your card for the bid amount, but nothing is charged unless Royal Brunei Airlines accepts it — if the bid is declined or expires, the authorization is released and you pay nothing, keeping your original cabin. If it's accepted, the card you provided is charged the amount you offered and your upgrade is confirmed.
When will I find out if my Royal Brunei Airlines upgrade bid was accepted?
Royal Brunei Airlines decides upgrade bids before your flight — often close to departure, once the operator knows how much cabin space is left. You'll be notified by email either way at the address on your offer. You don't need to keep checking, but you can see your bid's current status any time by checking your booking here (booking ••••••e + last name) or on Royal Brunei Airlines's Manage My Booking page.
