The Bahrain flights were separate and were all transit flights with the B747 going onto Australia and the Tristar going on to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur or Kuala Lumpur and Manila.

The Dhahran Suite was the nickname for the small back cabin of 4 rows aft of the rear galley, this was the smoking cabin and tended to have the more heavy drinkers.

I discovered last week I'd flown on a Tristar at least once, on a substitution for a Virgin flight from JFK which went tech. Absolutely cavernous interior, that was my main impression of it.
There are some very good youtube videos relating to the design and manufacture of the L1011 made as contemporary publicity pieces. Well worth a look. It was very technologically advanced indeed.
