Flown with them several times and a class below emirates but still a good airline. The best thing is if you join their FF club they increase your baggage allowance from 20kg to 30kg.

 

Good luck

Have flown several times from Paris.

They are ok, not great but up to the job.

Be prepared for a layover in the Gulf of up to 4-5 hours and both Bahrain and Dubai airports are dead boring.

No pubs (of course) and...FREEZING FUCKING COLD!!!! Cheap oil = cheap air con!

The Arabs are wearing jellabas so they are warm but I had on very lightweight clothes and froze my ass off.

Make sure you have a sweater with you.

Flew GF from BKk-HKG. Other than being CHEAP it sucks. Worst airline food I've had, dirty plane, and clueless attendants.

 

But, being KEIANOW, I'm flying them again to HKG next month.

I was too busy shivering to see them.

I stand corrected.

Gulf Air are not a particularly good airline,,,,,unless you travel Biz or 1st class.

I found economy cramped and the 'company' noisy and irritating. Service was pretty good in the air, but a shambles on the ground. Bahrain airport is showing it's age.

 

They are good on price, but I prefer a more direct route.
