"not hesitate to recommend Gulf Air"
Tony Williams (United Kingdom)
Not Verified | I was apprehensive about this flight but the price was irresistible. In the final analysis I had no problems. Online check in worked perfectly, Boarding was on time but more consideration needs to be given to Biz pax in Bahrain. The level of comfort and leg room on the Boeing 787 was wonderful. Service was excellent and food was appetizing. Flights left and arrived on time. I had lengthy stopovers each way in Bahrain but the lounge was fabulous. I would not hesitate to recommend Gulf Air.

"baggage never found"
Eran Aben Haim (Israel)
✅ Trip Verified | Flight booked on business class Bangkok to Tel Aviv via Bahrain with gulf air early 2023. One baggage never came. Filled in report at TLV airport, baggage never found. Been in contact with gulf air as they asked to go to their office to file some forms (no where to upload online). As I am not residing in Bahrain or in a country where they have actual office I have asked for solution and been ignored since. Contact their specific team that handle luggage claims and they ignore my last 5 emails. In Dubai went to their office and they said they do not handle this cases here.

"will never fly on Gulf Air again"
Amjad Hussain (United Kingdom)
✅ Trip Verified | I’m sorry to give bad review but unfortunately I do not any choice, Gulf Air have forced me to give them bad review. Gulf Air misplaced our luggage and all our valuable stuff. Its been almost 6weeks now we don't have any response from them - no compensation been given to us and no one even bother contacting us and informing us where is our baggage. Really really disappointed. We booked business class seats, the treatment was good but this this put me off. I will never fly on Gulf Air again and will never recommend to anyone

"asked us to come after 3 days"
B Najia (Morocco)
✅ Trip Verified | I am 73 years old, I was planning to travel from Casablanca to Bahrain on March 11, 24, when I arrived at Gulf Air check-in desk, I was shocked to learn that I and some other passengers had been refused boarding because the flight was overbooked, and without any logic, the person in charge asked us to come after 3 days. Yes, after 3 days (not 3 hours) And because of carelessness. He didn't bother to put a message on my reservation stating that I was returned from the airport Or until my reservation on the ticket changes for the new day (to after 3 days).

“the service borders on shocking”
J Meade (United Arab Emirates)
✅ Trip Verified | Gulf Air could be elevated from pretty ok to very good if only the cabin service improved. I have flown Gulf on and off for 40 years, always on time in my case. The planes are newish, the A321 neo has flat beds, decent tv screen etc but the service borders on shocking. Had to ask for a drinks menu which is a small piece of paper with small range of drinks, not proactive offering them mainly due to maybe cultural sensitivities, the lunch menu was the crews single bit of paper crossing out choices as they went through. Pre take off is good, dates, coffee and best hot towel of any airline. Thereafter its downhill, food is ok nothing special, no wines offered, no coffee, no digestifs. Come on Gulf, with a bit of care and flair you could be brilliant.

“later I get full compensation”
M Babler (Germany)
✅ Trip Verified | After late inbound auf der connecting aircraft in Bahrain and a technical issue that had to be fixed I arrived late on my final destination. Airline took very good care of the passengers and a couple of weeks later I get full compensation 600 euros under European law. I am looking forward to my next flight with Gulf Air.

"Gulf Air is the worst airline"
M Al Jabri (United Kingdom)
Not Verified | Gulf Air is the worst airline. The plane had an engine down and they insisted to keep us inside it for more than two hours. Then they told us that due to visibility and weather conditions the flight will be delayed until 6.30, though we were supposed to reach our destination at 2.10.

"do not recommend Gulf Air"
Sudhir Khurana (Italy)
Not Verified | One of the worst experiences with an international airline. The ground staff at Bahrain airport were arrogant. One of the worst delays and deboarding experiences of my life. I personally do not recommend Gulf Air to my dear ones.

"demotivated and disinterested2
5 reviews N Colson (Qatar)
✅ Trip Verified | The whole left and side of the economy seat inflight entertainment screen was frozen and not working and the crew have ignored seeing the same. And they still had the audacity to play the safety video on right hand side only instead of performing a manual demo. So whole flight to Mumbai 3 hours there was no tv. Crew was terribly demotivated and disinterested. I even found one crew next to my seat sleeping through out landing.

“Gulf Air is the worst”
Deepti Bhatia (United Kingdom)
✅ Trip Verified | I travel almost twice a year, on this year and have travelled with many airlines, by far Gulf Air is the worst. Neither does the cabin crew nor the Ground staff pay heed to customers needs, requests or complaints. Mine was round trip from LHR to DEL and DEL to LHR. Both the times I did not get the vegetarian food in spite of filling the special request at the time of check in. On my first trip I was not aware that my need will not be fulfilled so I didn't take the picture but second time, I captured a screenshot as a proof. On both the trips I requested the ground staff as well as cabin crew but they said we have not received the request. The cabin staff on my first trip still better, at least they patiently listened to me but second trip, they didn't even pay heed.
