Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Lawas
For most travelers, Lawas Airport (LWY) is the clear and most practical choice as it is the only airport located directly in the city. It handles domestic flights and provides immediate, low-cost access to the downtown area. Brunei International Airport (BWN) serves the nearby city of Bandar Seri Begawan and is a common alternative for international passengers, though it requires a significant cross-border commute. Similarly, Limbang Airport (LMN) and Labuan Airport (LBU) serve neighboring regions and are best utilized if connecting through specific regional routes or if flight availability is restricted. Finally, Marudi Airport (MUR), also in a neighboring area, is suited primarily for those traveling within the rural air service network. Travelers should prioritize Lawas Airport for convenience, while those flying into neighboring airports should plan for extra time to navigate border crossings and water transport connections. Always carry cash for local transport, as credit card acceptance can be limited in this region.
