Gulf Air

I flew by gulf air from Bahrain to London in business class and it was amazing..i tried more then 5 airlines in business and gulf air was the best..it was very comfortable and we had fun there..i like the entertainment the best.. and the food was perfectly cooked.. at least..everything was amazing

Flew Bankok to London connecting through Bahrain. Both flights left on time. Check in friendly. Seats were comfortable than other carriers i flew with before. Entertainment selection improved a lot since last year. More selection and well selected movies. Watched 8 movies and pencilled down others to watch on return flight. Meals were tasty. Sky chef made it feel like a 7 star restaurant. Cabin crew very friendly. Service needs to improve. I had to call for drinks top ups. Bags collected quickly. It was a smooth flight. I felt it better than other carriers.

Flew with my family, on economy Doha – Jeddah, via Bahrain, morning 8:40 flight. Doha – Jeddah was 35 min flight, no time for snacks, non-incidental. Bahrain – Jeddah was 2 hrs 20 min, meals are served. The only issue I had was I had selected kids meals for my 2 kids, and the steward blatantly said they had no information about it. I actually had my web check in form , with printed “Kids Meal” right next to my kids booking.

The same happened in the return flight as well. If they didn’t want to serve kids meal, they could have just not given the option in their booking screen. Poor service and altogether plastic courtesy. Nothing genuine in the flight. Even the in flight entertainment didn’t work. Sometimes, the screen isn’t working or else the headphones are dead. Altogether a very poorly managed airlines.

Gulf Air offer a decent Economy Class product with nice entertainment, although that can be improved. Food was decent and staff seemed nice, however they should try engage in more conversation with passengers. After our long transit in Bahrain Airport we boarded our flight to Jeddah on an A321. Boarding was chaotic, staff were rude to first time pilgrim flyers who couldn’t locate their seats. Gulf Air offers an good Economy class product for A321 with decent Entertainment. However this flight wasn’t as good as the London to Bahrain flight. Crew were unkind. The food was served late, even after many requests for some snacks (my kids got hungry), the crew didn’t manage to give anything. There were no vegetarian options left. The entertainment was cut off during half the flight. However, once in Bahrain everything went smoothly. The check-in was delightful. The crew were very pleasant and the flights were on time. The food was very nice and the entertainment was perfect. Our return was perfect – the only down side was the first journey. Cabin crew in general were good and the food was good with 4 choices on main course. were good and the food was good with 4 choices on main course. It
