Gulf Air A class availability

Does anyone know if there is an online tool to check A class seat availability on Gulf Air? I am in Europe at the moment and looking to go back to Australia in a couple of months in A class, and I would like to look at available travel dates before bothering the reservation staff. Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Gallagher , really useful to have the checker. Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be a large A availability so I will need to get busy and make my booking.

I believe A class is also used for reward tickets, so availability is usually hard to come by.

...I understood that "P" class is used for rewards in F...that's what GF Premium Line advised me when trying to snag some reward seats...

IIRC P Class is for F awards on GF. A Class (as with most airlines) is discouted First.

I stand corrected. This must have been changed recently.

Was looking through old threads and apparantly I had already confirmed that P was used for award tickets. Hehe

A is the nice class that gave us DUB-BKK/SYD in F for next to nothing ^

Now getting P availablity on GF to cash in your miles now that is even harder than getting the A class fare mistake
