Service at Departure Airport: Efficient and Satisfactory.
Seats: Regular economy seats with but better than Qatar Airways or Emirates.
Meals: Commendable even for Economy class! Even though we were right at the back, the hostess said to me later that they sensibly stock up with more chicken options as that’s what most passengers prefer. My son totally has a great time with his child meal too!
In Flight Entertainment: Good selection of entertainment with functional AVODs. In flight duty free expensive. Lots to do for kids. Wish would include a trip to the cockpit to make it perfect!
Cabin Staff: The Sky Nanny service by Gulf Air is one of a kind with the appointed hostess concentrating only on kids and regularly checking in if they were settled or needed more to play with apart from their complimentary activity packs!
Arrival Services: Gulf Air connections are via Bahrain which has a decent Airport with efficient staff and had a pleasant experience at a proper dining restaurant provided for connecting passengers with long stopovers and a choice between 2 meals served courteously. To reboard, priority was given to passengers traveling with kids.
Summary: The most preferred airline for me to date with a wonderful in air and on round crew and although Bahrain Airport could do with more comfortable waiting areas, kids play sections, once on board you can expect quality and excellence in service with an inviting atmosphere! Truly value for money with Two Thumbs Up!!
