Gulf Air Reviews

I have flown repeatedly with Gulf Air out to various places in Asia from India to South East Asia and the far east. These have always required a stop-off in the gulf area of the Middle East, almost always Bahrain which is the airlines hub. The airline has connections from London, Paris and Frankfurt out to Bahrain and from there there are plenty ...  Read the complete review

Cabin Appearance: Clean & Presentable. Service at Departure Airport: Efficient and Satisfactory. Seats: Regular economy seats with but better than Qatar Airways or Emirates. Meals: Commendable even for Economy class! Even though we were right at the back, the hostess said to me later that they sensibly stock up ...  Read the complete review

My experience travel with Gulf Air on a recent holiday to Thailand was a bit mixed. The one reason that I booked with them was because they were offering the lowest fares. I dealt with them quite a lot on a professional basis, and had found them to be OK so I decided to give them a try. If you book a long-haul flight with Gulf Air you ...  Read the complete review

OUTWARD JOURNEY I flew out from Heathrow on Friday 9th December 2005 from Heathrow Terminal 3 to Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) via Gulf Air. I arrived to check in by the required 3 hours prior to take-off time - my flight was leaving at 11:00, I arrived by 07:30 as I hate leaving it till the last minute like some people and then ...  Read the complete review

The first thing to point out therefore, is that they are indeed very cheap. The second is that the reason for this is that the flights are not direct, they stop in the Middle East, in ...  Read the complete review

I recently travelled with gulf with two children to the middle East on what was supposed tobe a direct flight. They were many over bookins which meant we had to go on a different flight (despite the fact I had confirmed the seats). From than on I was told lie after lie and had to suffer a five hour delay. There is not problem with making ...  Read the complete review

Gulf Air- well I had no choice but to fly with them, it was a nightmare. Initially i was told it was a stop in Abu Dhabi only to find out we had a stop in Paris as well for an hour which added to the time. Unfortunately my vegetarian meal was a very hot curry which burnt my mouth, as I ran up the galley unable to speak, I ...  Read the complete review

I was reluctant to fly Gulf after bad experiences with arab airlines..namely Saudi and Egypt Air....but what a pleasant surprise. Cabin crew are European and Oriental...so expect a high level of efficieny and service. Food reasonable, entertainment good and alcohol supplied as requested! I was frequently flying from the Middle East to Far East ...  Read the complete review

I have flown Gulf Air a number oftimes in recent years - provided you book early (because they ration how many seats they sell in each price bracket) you can get some good deals to places like Hong Kong, Manila and Bangkok. Depending on the route, you have to change places in Bahrein, Abu Dhabi etc, but they are modern air-conditioned ...  Read the complete review
