Check out this 4K Trip Report & Honest Unsponsored Review on board a Gulf Air A320neo from Bahrain to Istanbul.

Hi there! My name is Kevin and today we are going to take a look at the full Gulf Air experience on one of their busier routes. We will take a look at the Falcon Gold Lounge in Bahrain, the full (beautiful) terminal and airport experience, check out the aircraft and seat in detail, speak about the incredibly kind and hospitable crew, check out the good, if not a bit bland, food on offer and of course, we will wrap it all up with The Flip Flop Score.

This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

    I have traveled many times on Gulf Air, and I found it a great airline. The last time was in June. Beddings always look brand new.

    I’ve flown GF a few times about 8 years ago because they had the best biz ticket prices, way cheaper than Emirates, Qatar, & Etihad. The planes at the time were nothing to write home about, let me tell ya. Have to head to the UK in November, so I’ll have to give them a second look.

    Overall, really happy with the site. Keep it up.

    My only suggestion is to post the menus from the resorts/hotels/flights on a website in a manner similar to the one the Jeb Brooks does. I suspect it will also drive traffic back to the YouTube channel.

    I flew from bkk to Bahrain in June in business class. I also got a warning about filming. But on my leg to Frankfurt they were perfectly OK with it… as well as on my turn around leg in late June the crew even offered to take my picture in my seat.

    Just started watching your videos and subscribed. Liking what I see so far! Keep the good, unbiased and fair review content coming. I'll be going back and watching your older content for sure 🙂

  18. Pieter Custers

    This is one of the better trip reports on Youtube. High quality… continue and you will be one of the top vloggers in this category!

    Good to see that you are firmly in the narration and show the subject mode. I've no interest is seeing what you look like 🙂

  21. Samuel Awolaja

    Personally I would appreciate this video more if your critique were not so overly critical or condescending. Your unscripted comments left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed whilst watching the video. Good luck with your channel though.

  23. vignes raja

    At some points I agreed with you , however certain points looks too much exaggerated. You get what you paid for.. Opinions may differ, this is just my thoughts.

  27. Ai_rbus

    Hey there is a mistake in timeline, the airport isn't called Manama international Airport its called Bahrain International Airport and the airport isn't located in Manama its muharraq.

  28. Randy Bills

    Ya know I dont care what the plane ride costs but to get on any plane and think the food service is going to be 5 star restaurant service come on man

  29. KSA LIFE with AMNA

    I personally travel with gulf air becoz this is the best airline for me and my son.Cabin crews always give importance to each and every passenger….o always prefer Gulf air from SAUDIA to PAKISTAN…. Bcz i love travel via instead of direct

    Have you seen the old terminal of Bahrain airport?
    This building is the newest, the old one was demolished in term of phase 2 to this new building.
