The first ticket arrived today. BMI is in L and Q, all GF are in A ^ .
Called GF for the 14 hours stop in LHR on the return flight: they will only provide free limousine but no hotel for this stopover.
Should the hotel become available when talking to GF staff in LHR/MCT between the flights ? Any experience ?

good luck
good luck
Looking to book this for Sat outbound, Wed return....but would actually prefer a Thurs or Friday return to maximize time in Asia.
If no luck in calling GF offices, I should just wait to try to make change to return date once at LHR? Just worried that due to tight connection in LHR I wouldn't have time to make changes with the desk in person.

Paper tickets were delivered today! The BMI flights are in L and Q class, all 4 GF segments in A. ^
Is 1h35 enough time to change planes in LHR? According to virtuallythere.com the BD flight arrives at T3 and GF departs from T3, so no need to go through security again in LHR, right?

Gulf Air offers a fantastic inflight product, but their blatant discrimination and the dehumanising treatment handed out to "less desirable" customers leaves a very negative impression.

you won't even come across it as you won't be travelling in from india.

Also received my first batch of tickets today and everything is in order. ^
One question however,my first outbound BMI Econ flight is for class M which I understand is very close to a full economy fare.Did I read somewhere that the general rules for all of the flights are influenced by the code of this first ticket? Or maybe it was just a dream...
