Gulf Air is budget these days sorry...the flight attendants are often tall blonde Pommy lasses, I have seem one only who really worked hard and did a great job out of several trips so far with them HK-BKK.The male attendants all seemed to be Arabs, If you can say hello nicely in Arabic its a bonus .Its kind of a religious greeting thingy...can't remember it, darn, but my ex used it once with great effect....anyone know it?
The best thing about their old planes is the extra seat size room and pitch. The rest of GA's service...well pretty ordinary.
My ex liked the tall blonde Pommy lasses though...
Take some snacks and maybe an airline blanket (they never have enough ) and a good book .Videos are ordinary too..
Cheap ride though and good safety record.
