Bahrain - Abu Dhabi
Middle East
The worst airline ever!! I don’t recommend it to anyone!! They broke my luggage wheel and by asking the luggage service counter he said that he called someone from Gulf and he saw my bag photo and he said they can’t do anything!!!!! I wasn’t alone as there are 3 or 4 more pol as well received broken luggages!! I went upstairs and no one on duty from Gulf Air which is unprofessional as they must keep one standby until the final flight on route!!! The last time will book with them, so poor service!!!…

Hyderabad - Chicago
International
Hi. Please help me out. I am on street’s freezing at -25 degrees celsius. I was supposed to board the flight from Hyderabad to Bahrain then from Bahrain to Riyadh on January 14 2024 traveling to Chicago. But the crew at the counter denied my onboarding behaving so rudely and abusing at front of all the fellow passengers with no formal dignity and decency at profession. At some stage they tried to manhandle on me trying to push me away from the desk. Due to the onboarding denial I lost my entire career for which I was supposed to show up on Monday and entirely broke with no penny left to survive. Whatever the reasons are for denial as I am not the frequent flier and don’t quite often travel do not know the policies and cheats of the travel agencies in the market. I have been scammed and deceived by everyone including airlines and travel agencies and left me broke and shattered on the streets begging for pennies and no place to live for a shelter. Please please please I am requesting and literally begging catching your feet please give me refund of the amount I payed helping me to survive feeding in this cold harsh weather. If you can’t fully refund atleast try to do some partial amount with which I can survive for few days having a shelter. My career my life are all lost and am completely broke with no money left the only option I have is to die if financially can’t be helped. I don’t want the reason to my end is a flight ticket amount. Please help me out with some money please please. I am just out of the hospital with serious illness. The main culprit and reason for this is Gulf Airways and Lufthansa because of whom my whole career and life has spoiled. I do have proofs of my medical bills and reasons. Please give me my money back. Please refund my money please. Thank you Hope you’ll help me your best to let me survive.…

Me and my wife were travelling with an infant. Just to avoid any issues we paid a higher price so that I can choose seats that I need. They changed the seats without any notice. When I asked for compensation they did not provide. Instead they are giving points for which I need to book again from the same airline where I have a serious negative view to use their services in the future.…

I had read some not so good reviews about Gulf air flights and so was hesitant to book my ticket. But, my experience was very good. It was like any other regular international airlines. Was reliable and punctual. Food was ok. Value for money.
