Never, Never, Never Again

by arathi Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 16 '02
Pros: Are you kidding?
Cons: Everything.
“The falcon flies for you over 50 destinations worldwide.” This is a fact. Gulf Air has been in operation since the 1950’s. This is a lesser known fact. Their inadequacies are legendary. This is the reverberating and most known fact about Gulf...

Gulp! Air....

by osmurad , Jun 13 '00
Pros: ???
Cons: A lifetime is not enough to fully describe their tortures!
In my extensive travels around the world, I have only come across a few select airlines that truly deserve the "Flying Trash-can" award. Gulf Air is one of these fore-mentioned airlines.

While I have had negative experiences with...

Good food, but ...

by spbrat , Aug 30 '00
Pros: Nothing that I can think of
Cons: Where do I start
The recent crash of Gulf airways near Bahrain brought back the vivid memories of my trips with Gulf airways. I have always had a bad experience when travelling with Gulf. The transits between flights are ridiculous long. An average transit period that I...

The flight that happiness forgot

by singaporeboy , Sep 26 '00
Pros: cheap tickets
Cons: absolutely horrendous in-flight service
I was an unfortunate passenger on a Gulf Air flight between Singapore and Sydney in 1999. That one flight was enough to put me off ever flying this airline again. It was, without a doubt, the most miserable flight I've ever taken.

Gulf Air - Overview of Services

by apasha , Apr 20 '00
Pros: Equipment, Flight Attendants
Cons: Stopovers, Passengers
Having traveled Gulf Air for a period of 21 years (2 years - 23 years) I have seen the good and the bad on Gulf Air. I have to admit that the last trip I took was back in 1996 but talking to friends who travel it, seems like things haven't changed...

Avoid them like the plague!

by narenji Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 12 '99
Pros: Flights to lesser flown destinations in the middle east, maybe?
Cons: Atrocious service, small planes, rude, apathetic attitude towards passengers...too much to list
Gulf Air sounded like a good deal to us when we bought our tickets - the round trip fare from NY to Bombay, India was only $650 or something. We should have realized immediately that there had to be a catch. Well, there's a big catch. They're...

Great for families with young kids

by dublin_hiker , Oct 17 '06
Pros: Sky nanny, new planes, great customer service attitude from management
Cons: TV's on older planes on night flights
We chose to fly Gulf Air from Dublin (Ireland) to Bangkok (via Bahrain) based on price and convenient flying times. After we booked we found out about the 'Sky Nanny' service which as our son was 18 months old at the time was a great bonus. It's of ...

Atrocious Service / Apathetic Staff

by dvp , Dec 07 '99
Pros: It was fairly inexpensive.
Cons: Boy, were they ever rude.
I decided to take a flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong for a short holiday and, being the cheap bastard that I am, I purchased two inexpensive economy class tickets for the flight on Gulf Air. Being an international flight, I was given the usual...
