About Gulf Air (from Wikipedia):
Gulf Air (Arabic: طيران الخليج Ṭayarān al-Khalīj) is the state-owned airline and the flag carrier of Bahrain was made in 1950 by British Pilot Freddie Bosworth as Gulf Aviation. Headquartered in Muharraq, the airline operates scheduled flights to 52 destinations in 28 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Indian sub-continent and the Far East. Its main hub is Bahrain International Airport. In which London Heathrow is the most traveled place for Gulf Air. Gulf Air currently serves all its destinations with a combination of wide and narrow body jets of Airbus A320, Airbus A321, Airbus A320neo, Airbus A321neo and the Boeing 787-9 also known as the "dreamliner". Gulf Air is the sponsor of the Bahrain Grand Prix and Bahrain International Airshow, where some of its fleet of aircraft sport liveries of the event. Gulf Air has been certified with the highest 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating, becoming one of just sixteen airlines in the world to currently achieve this top recognition and the third airline in the Middle East to gain the 5-Star COVID-19 Safety Rating. It was formerly a multinational airline owned by Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Oman, and Qatar. In 2002, Qatar became the first nation to leave the Gulf Air consortium, followed by Abu Dhabi in 2006 and finally Oman in 2007, leaving the airline completely Bahrain-based, so they can make their own airlines: Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Oman Air respectively.

About the 787 (from Wikipedia):
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an American wide-body jet airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After dropping its Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, focused on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction. On July 8, 2007, the prototype was rolled out without major systems and experienced multiple delays until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. Type certification was received in August 2011 and the first 787-8 was delivered in September 2011 before entering commercial service on October 26, 2011, with ANA.

Gulf air will be launching flights to New York this summer and expand more in the United States. Gulf Air's history is very rich. It's soaring back gradually to its Glory days! Singapore has opened! More long haul routes will be added as the fleet increase.

Hey man,
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. My wife and I are going to be taking a flight to the US for the first time in three years. It’s a special occasion, because we’re finally taking our baby boy to meet his grandparents. I saved up my miles and was able to get us business class seats on ANA for practically nothing. It’ll be our first experience flying anything other than coach. I showed her your ANA Business class videos and she’s super excited. It’s because of Youtubers like you that I became aware of award flights and how to use miles. So you’re partly the reason why we’re going to be able to have this special experience. Keep doing what you do. And thank you so much.

Gulf Air was the first airplane / international airplane I ever flew and was going from Mumbai to London in 2001. I was only 10 years old at that time so all I cared about was food and kids goodie bag. And both were great! The cabin crew was also very nice. I had severe ear pain during take-off and landing. The crew did their best to help my mum and myself

I had the honour of designing and printing the menu cards for the first L1011 Golden Falcon Service from LHR to BAH in 1974, or was it 1973? I still have one of them at home after all those years. Gulf Air are one of those under-rated airlines that should be given more attention. Well done Dan for doing that!

This is an unbelievably positive review with extremely minimal negatives.

For your honest standard, this seems like a really good airline.

Thank you Dan!

I love the way the BC seats are arranged to allow aisle access without stepping over other passengers.

Lovely to see you review the original Gulf airline. My dad worked for them for 25 years from the 70's. Fond memories and they had awesome service then.

[paulshah]

I had heard about gulf air...20 years ago...my Brother was flying from Bombay to Nairobi...
It was one of the best Airline...on that routes at that time...Happy to know...they are still one of the best...👌

I live in the Middle East and travel extensively - Gulf Air business verges on first class standard and is unmatched by other local carriers - so good. The food, drink selection and staff are fantastic

[fasjellimpact]

I've travelled once in Gulf Air when i went to meet my dad, from Dubai to Bahrain (I'm From India). I got an upgrade for free from economy to falcon gold as i was flying unaccompanied.(I was 11). it was a very nice experience

[sqoomsh]

Can we appreciate how each intro is different?! The effort put into these videos is INSANE. Love you Dan!

[MrGoblinrexy]

I flew both Economy and Business from LHR to BAH and back earlier this year for the GP. I have to say, both classes were a really enjoyable experience! Plus, Gulf let you bid on their leftover business class seats - meaning my upgrade from economy to business only cost me something like £400!

[ebrady]

Great review. One of the reasons the airline provides this type of service regardless of flight length is because of its rich history. They have been around since the 1950's, flying back then was a complete luxurious and grand event. This airline reminds me of Pam Am. I am glad they have been able to sustain themselves for so long and didn't become bankrupt.

[EddieManning]

I used to fly Gulf Air between LHR/BKK about 15 years ago. After your film, they are definitely a renewed choice for a trip later this year. Thanks Dan.

[HadiAsadGDalHaj]

Gulf Air is mother of Gulf airliners i.e. Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airlines & Oman Air.
All four later airliners rooted from Gulf Air, once all five altogether united to create a unified airliner in 1970s.
Then in 1990s, all rulers ruled (but Bahrain) withdrew from Gulf Air to create their own flag carriers.

the man with the towels had such a beautiful smile! it really makes all the difference

[yoavfischer]

I flew Gulf Air several times in the past few months - all in Business Class. TLV-BAH-DXB-BAH-TLV, DXB-BAH-TLV, DWC-BAH-RUH, RUH-BAH-DXB. I second every single word. Even in the short-hauls between Tel Aviv, Dubai and Riyadh, everything is just (almost) perfect with Gulf Air.

[DOUBLEDTRAVEL]

@Nonstop Dan I prebooked some food when I flew gulf air. However I was in economy and using a third party ticket agent. They said the order hadn't been successful.... But on the flights I got everything I had asked for so they are an extremely good airline when it comes to rectifying a mistake or small issue

[justalpha]

Yeah dude, we all love personalized serbice. ;) 20:13

[workhardforit]

Okie dokie, thanks to this video, I’ve decided to choose Gulf Air for my Business Class flight from Metro Manila to Jeddah this April! Can’t wait!
