Don’t trust the other review! Read this first!
I had regrets on flying with this airline as there all these bad reviews about
it! I thought I would try it out so I can really see what it was
like! My view is that all the other reviews are just not helpful this is what it was really like:
Our first flight with Gulf Air and was presently surprised.I didn’t expect anything like Emirates’ standards given the exceptionally lowprice of the fare, but to be honest they weren’t a million miles off, andprobably better value for what you actually pay. We had seat-back TVs with areasonable selection of films etc, the plane was clean, we had more legroom than I’ve ever had in economy on other airlines, and all flight attendants seemed polite enough & The staff were great they look after me well the also looked after the kids well (the sky nanny was excellent!),Presentation-wise the meals weren’t amazing, but the food itself was actually very good quality and much better than BA on the same route given the low price, again Judging by the other reviews it looks like Gulf Air’s service isn’t as consistently good in economy as other Gulf-based carriers - there seems to be a lot of luck in what aircraft and crew you get. Everything was great! If you like shopping then the airports they stop in are for you! Everything was super cheap! I got the most leg room in economy ever. You must join the frequent flyer as you get 10 kg extra free! I got 600 miles free, for choosing the statement email option! The ticket
was super cheap; I paid £410 to go on gulf air. The airline was all good. Looked at the prices for Emirates: £610 on the same route
but a stop in Dubai (I had to stop in Bahrain
which is wonderful) so I thought it is better to go with the cheap one. I am poor as it is. My flight was: London-Bahrain-Islamabad Return: islamabad-muscat-london! The airport was clean, cheap and well kept, Duty free was cheap Gucci perfume
£20??? Surely they got it wrong!!! So the airports kept well and the
airline is clean and good. I’d certainly fly Gulf Air again if they competed so well on price I recommend you go with them.
