It is my pleasure to write for the cabin crew of flight GF-153 who made mine and few of my friends’ journey from Bangkok to Bahrain one of the most memorable 7.40 hours in air time. They have been friendly above our expectations. I have been travelling to places quite often and based on my experiences, it really impressed me to say that I was completely satisfied. - by

London to Dubai via Bahrain. The first time I've flown with this airline and was really impressed. The first lag from London to Bahrain was on their new B787-9 plane which was really clean and fresh, and you can immediately see the size of the thing. Add to that, the comfort, features and cabin pressure made the flight a much more enjoyable experience, so top marks for that. The service onboard was fantastic with the crew assisting in every possible way. - by

I like to give credit when it is due, it is not often that we see positives about experiences when flying especially in economy class. This was a redemption ticket with miles as I am gold with Gulf Air. Painless booking with Cleartrip. Check in was very smooth, through fast track immigration as always in seconds, and the lounge had its usual decent food and bev. I have always found Gulf Air crew to be their best asset, they are always upbeat, and have that can-do attitude. - by

I was traveling to London to Bangkok via Bahrain on Gulf Air. Everything about the flight was excellent, but in particular, the cabin service was absolutely superb. Quick and efficient check in and boarding. Great food with very comfortable and spacious seat / bed. Definitely the best airline I have ever used. - by
