Denied boarding

My first experience with Gulf Air was extremely disappointing. One staff member was rude and made me feel embarrassed and pressured over excess baggage charges, despite my willingness to pay. I was charged £248 for 10 kg without receiving a receipt or a clear explanation. I also witnessed another passenger being told to remove chocolates he had purchased because his baggage was overweight. I understand that baggage rules must be followed, but there is no excuse for treating passengers without basic respect and consideration. The entire experience caused me unnecessary stress, and I would think twice before flying with Gulf Air again or recommending it to others.

The worst customer service

This airline proves the old saying that money can’t buy class. Their business and first class cabins are fine, but nothing special compared to other luxury carriers. Their customer service, however, is atrocious. Call them, and they bounce you to email. Write to them, and they close your case without ever responding. I will never recommend Gulf Air to anyone.

Flight delay

One of the air hostess was very inappropriate. I found her route. We travel on business class we expect more manners she had no experience in customer service. I just found her so rude.

Highly standardized, cultured and trained cabin crews which i never came accross in my 15 years of experience with various airlines. Highly recommended

Dear Gulf Air Team, Hope you are doing well. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the exceptional cabin crew staff on our recent Gulf Air flight from Heathrow, London to Bahrain. A special thanks to Mr. Hussain for his highly professional, courteous and diplomatic service throughout the journey. His calm demeanor, attentiveness and respectful interaction with passengers truly reflected outstanding customer service. We would also like to give a heartfelt mention to Ms. Sherin, the Senior Cabin Crew member, for going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction during the flight. My husband and I are vegetarians and although there were limited rice options available, Ms. Sherin made every possible effort to provide us with suitable vegetarian alternatives. Her dedication, kindness and willingness to accommodate our dietary needs were truly immeasurable and deeply appreciated. Such genuine care and commitment to passenger satisfaction made our journey extremely pleasant and memorable. Gulf Air is fortunate to have such dedicated and compassionate crew members representing the airline. With gratitude, Rajashree Krishnamurthy Naveen Karpur Departure Date - 12th May Flight number - GF006

Worst experience ever with the airline. The customer care support is worst and they will keep us waiting for atleast 5-10min. My flight was cancelled by the gulf air, more than 40 days ago but the refund is not credited yet and there is no proper response about the status of refund.
