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...
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.

Bad: Each and every flight I attempted on Gulf Air was either canceled, delayed, or mysteriously mis-booked.

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...
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

Pros: Seats are comfortable, food is served often Cons: very bad hospitality and manners

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...
