GULF AIR: The Best BUSINESS CLASS You’ve NEVER Heard Of 🤫 here’s why

This should be First Class! Come onboard we me and explore why this Business Class is kind of a secret.
Gulf Air’s Falcon Gold Business Class onboard their 787-9 is the airlines newest business class offering. And my word its amazing! Their business class features the apex suites which were originally designed for first class. Interestingly Gulf is one of the worlds oldest carriers yet is unfairly over shone by the likes of Emirates, Etihad and Qatar. Today we’ll be flying from London Heathrow over to Bahrain’s brand new billion dollar airport which opened only a matter of weeks ago.

Don't worry about attire. It happened to me when I tried to check in at the business class counter and the steward came running asking if I was at the wrong counter. 🤣 And all this because I was dressed very relaxed ready for a 12 hour flight. People who fly a lot don't dress up, they have learnt their lessons over the years. More important are good manners, but this goes for all classes.

Wearing a suit for travel was the social norm in the 1960's, but as long as you practice personal hygiene, sweatpants and comfort clothes are perfectly acceptable for modern travel. People who complain are just looking for something to complain about

@GMAMEC Жыл бұрын

You’re absolutely right regarding what is acceptable. However, numerous studies confirm that clothing can impact an individual’s behavior and performance. Clothing also impacts how you’re treated. While I love being comfortable and believe people should be treated with respect, regardless of their attire, there is a difference. I actually learned this lesson when traveling. People were more respectful and attentive when I wore “business attire”.

Very nice video indeed! I had flown Gulf Air way back in the 80s and my experience was not that good, not that bad either. But GF had very helpful cabin crew and terrific food even in Y class. Its so nice to see how GF had made itself much more competitive and aggressive in promoting its premium class. I had flown its competitor Emirates in bith J and Y classes and EK did a very fantastic job with world-class service and amenities. It seemed that GF was somewhat overshadowed by the successes of EK as well as Etihad and Qatar Airways but somehow your video proved how GF can be at a par with its competitors from the Arabian Gulf. Keep up the great job :-)

Hey Trek! First of all being from Bahrain, I would like to thank you for flying Gulf Air, reviewing it and sharing your personal thoughts, i hope you liked our new terminal! Currently Bahrain is doing well even in this pandemic, with vaccinations and testing. Gulf Air only operates their flights to London, Pakistan and several Gulf States, and I hope that they expand their service to New York in the US soon. The price of the ticket for what is worth is way beyond the limits, especially for those transit passengers! Once again thank you for visiting bahrain, and we would be glad to have you back soon!

Their 787s**. They also fly them to the Philippines, Thailand, and their upcoming destination this week, Singapore. They operate a single flight to Paris and Frankfurt on their recently added A321neo, due to the current situation and demand. The plan of Gulf Air with its rising destinations along with the new terminal, recent Israel flights and some of the highest rated non-quarantine rules (if negative on arrival) make it one of the best airlines to fly during the pandemic. Once again, thanks for flying to Bahrain, we hope you enjoyed your transit here...

Your dress attire is fine. Better than most folks flying. Comfort is the way to go especially on long hauls. The only time I do dress up is if I’m flying with my friend on his pass in business. Mainly because it is airline policy (so no shorts, shirts need to have a collar and no sandals).
