"grossly incompetent"
R Varti (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | While booking they claimed I could earn miles on American Airlines. When I went to airport, on my boarding pass they gave me a boarding pass which clearly indicated that they used my American Frequent Flier number. But when I did not see miles on my American account, I contacted American who informed me that Gulf is not their partner. I contacted Gulf many times regarding this and they never replied. Either they are grossly incompetent or complete frauds.

"We will fly with them again"
Stephen Mills (United Kingdom)
Not Verified | This was the first time we had flown with Gulf Air, what a pleasant surprise. At the airport great staff, really helpful. The plane clean and seat comfy for economy. Food good for economy, staff helpful, entertainment system good but choice of newer films very limited. We will fly with them again.

"A321 Neo was amazing and neat"
A Keleel (United Arab Emirates)
✅ Trip Verified | With regards to terminal experience, I hope they put out a queue for those who have done online check-in in Abu Dhabi airport. I also like to express my appreciation to the airline for it's cabin crew for doing their jobs well in my recent very short flight of 1 hour. I know they had a bit of a hectic schedule since they also provided snacks during the flight given that it takes a while to serve and clean up in between take off and descent/landing. Aside from that, the A321 Neo aircraft was amazing and neat.

"online checkin didn’t work"
G Lindahl (France)
Not Verified | On the outbound trip I wasn’t able to choose a seat when checking in online. On the return flight the online checkin didn’t work, it said I had to checkin at the airport. At the airport I asked for an exit seat and the checkin lady in Muscat confirmed that I was at an emergency exit. When I entered the airplane I realised I was not seated at an emergency exit, but the row behind it. I asked the cabin crew how this could happen and they just said the checkin lady probably made a mistake.

"Onboard the experience is ok"
L Morton (Singapore)
✅ Trip Verified | I was yelled at by several ground crew between entering the airport and boarding the plane, for issues that were caused by the airline. Onboard the experience is ok, but I can only imagine how bad it would be if you had a significant issue that required Customer Service on the ground.

"not at all bothered about customers"
R Garnajan (Kuwait)
✅ Trip Verified | Business Class from Kuwait to Chennai via Bahrain. Kuwait-Bahrain of short duration and not much to experience, though it provided options for flat bed. Bahrain - Chennai Flight. A320 Neo air has Bucket Seat in Business Class. Food I had ordered for AVML but it started with an unimpressive salad with some other odd item. I asked for some Fruits in lieu of the food, for which i was given a small cup with 4 slices of some fruits. Customer Service Pathetic would be the right word as the crew was not at all bothered about the customers at all. They never asked me if i need something else and when i asked for cookies, they didn't have any. One small bottle of water was all that was provided during the entire journey. While i was attempting to sleep, the cabin-crew was busy chatting.

"cabin of the 787 was nice and comfortable"
A Zubairi (Pakistan)
Not Verified | Ground staff particularly helpful and eager to assist. The cabin of the 787 was nice and comfortable. However, the picture quality of the IFE needs to be improved. The meal was alright, pretty standard.

"horrible experience not resolved"
Umashankar Appani (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | In the second leg of my flight from BAH to CDG, as there was no cabin space my 3 cabin bags were collected by staff in the flight and told us that they will keep it in cargo and give us back in CDG airport before we get down from the flight. As they have confirmed that they are not checking the bags in and keeping it in CARGO, they haven't given us any receipt or bag tags. When enquired with flight Attendant in CDG, she insisted that the bags will reach our final destination, i.e. DFW in this instance (even though bag tags are not available). But the bags haven't reached our final destination. Its been more than 6 days since my date of travel (15th Jan, 2023), but my bags haven't reached me. The baggage department is also very unresponsive even though i have given my bags description to them. I feel that the staff who has collected our bags in BAH should have informed the flight attendant that these are the bags to be handed over in CDG. With this horrible experience not resolved, i would rather pay more for a ticket than journey through Gulf Air again.

"could not check in on website"
S Borlen (Netherlands)
✅ Trip Verified | 2 tickets and both time I could not check in on website or with the app. Customer service is horrible: chat did not understand question. Ending up too early in airport from Bahrain to Jeddah took from 10.00 - 16.00 since the flight was delayed with 45 mins. I got a seat at rear end of plane as a result of not checking in on eariest possible moment. No problem if something goes wrong one time, but with 2 tickets it is simply unacceptable.
