Back to Brunei you have the following options:
Daily flights from KUL (KLIA) on RBA: BI874 : 1440 - 1700
Mon, Wed, Fri flights fromKUL (KLIA) on MAS: MH738: 0900 - 1130
Daily flights from KUL (KLLCCT) on Air Asia: AK266: 1755- 2015

To get to Yogyakarta (JOG) from KUL you have the following options:
Tue, Fri, Sun flights from KUL (KLIA) on MAS: MH 857: 0915 - 1050
Daily flights from KUL (KLLCCT) on Air Asia: AK1004: 1405-1535

And returning back to Kuala Lumpur you have the following options:
Tue, Fri, Sun flights to KUL (KLIA) on MAS : MH 856 : 1140-1505
Daily flights to KUL (KLLCCT) on Air Asia: AK595 : 1605 - 1935

*The KLLCCT Terminal now has a budget hotel (Tune Hotels) where you can stay overnight for cheap if you don't want to have the hassle of going into KL city. You can book the hotel at http://www.tunehotels.com/ *


VIA JAKARTA

If you're going through Jakarta, you'll have to leave early from Brunei on the 30th April as the BWN-CGK flight on 1st May arrives in Jakarta at 2230hrs and spend the night at either Jogja or Jakarta:

Same day connections to Yogyakarta from Brunei:
30/4/09: BI735 BWN-CGK : 1150 - 1310
GA212 CGK-JOG : 1430 - 1530


4/5/09: GA207 JOG-CGK : 1105 - 1210
BI736 CGK-BWN : 1410 - 1735



BI flies between BWN-CGK every Sun, Mon, Thu at 1150-1310 and Tue & Fri at 2110-2230.
returning CGK-BWN every Sun, Mon, Thu at 1410-1735 and Tue & Fri at 0715-1040.

Apart from Garuda Indonesia (GA) other airlines fly between CGK and JOG including low cost airlines such as Air Asia, Lion Air, Batavia Air and Mandala Air.

VIA SURABAYA
If you don't have much time spare time and don't want to spend overnight anywhere in transitthe only option is by going through Surabaya with same day connections and not having to stay overnight anywhere else on the way there or back.

1/5/09: BI793 BWN-SUB : 1135-1220
JT8569 SUB-JOG: 1905-1950


4/5/09: JT8560 JOG-SUB : 0605-0650
BI794 SUB-BWN : 1410 - 1735

BI flies between BWN-SUB every Mon, Fri at 1135-1220hrs and Tue,Wed, Sat at 2020-2135hrs and returning SUB-BWN every Mon, Fri at 1340-1655 and Wed, Thu, Sun at 0655-1005hrs.

Only 2 airlines fly between Surabaya and Jogja ( Lion Air - (Booking on http://www.lionair.co.id) and Batavia Air - (Booking on http://www.batavia-air.co.id)). However, only Lion Air has same day connections with the Royal Brunei flights to and from Surabaya).


VIA SINGAPORE
BI flies between BWN-SIN twice a day daily (0800-1005 & 1800-2000) and returns SIN-BWN twice a day daily (1055-1305 & 2050-2305).

SQ flies between BWN-SIN every Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri & Sun (1220-1430) and returns SIN-BWN on the same days (0900-1120)

Silkair flies to Solo City every Tue & Thu (MI212 0755-0910) and Sat (MI216 1040-1155) and returns on Tue & Thu (MI213 0955-1300) and Sat (MI215 1235-1540).

As Singapore Airlines and Silkair belong to the same company, you might get cheap deals for flights flying to Solo City from Brunei by buying a single plane ticket from travel companies if you use both airlines.

Solo City is about 60km away from Yogyakarta and you would have to arrange your own transport from Solo City Airport to Yogyakarta if you wanted to take the Silkair option. As you can see using this option, you would have to stay in Singapore overnight and spend an extra night on the way there and then an extra night in Jogja before SIGA. You would also need to stay in Jogja an extra night after the SIGA finishes if you plan to return using Silkair.
