ngfan ,

I flew first into Bah just a few weeks ago.Arrived about 06:30 am and had a connecting flight to Bkk at 22:00 later that evening.I collected my onward boarding card at the transit desk and then made my way over to another GF counter in front of the customs area where I asked if Gulf would provide me with transit accommodation. Absolutely no problem at all...they gave me the Movenpick with limo transfers...plus breakfast,dinner and evening meal vouchers thrown in for good measure! Its a great hotel-you can get a few hours shut eye,have a refreshing swim in the lovely pool,and then take your free meal(s). I hope you enjoy....I certainly did ,so much in fact that I will be doing the same on my way back to Bkk in November.Now a days I deliberately book my flights to include a time delay in the middle east(they gave me the Meridien in Auh) because of this wonderful GF service.
