Bahrain to Cairo, Which Airline?
So my dad's travelling to Cairo soon and unfortunately, due to the recession, his company is offering him a business class ticket, instead of first, on any airline. So, what airline would you suggest in terms of cabin comfort, airport,transfers, service, etc....Its between EK,EY, and QR, possibly GF(A340 skybeds).
BTW, aircraft are as follow:
Outbound:
EK:332,772
EY:320,332
QR:320,77L
Inbound:
EK:77W,332
EY:332,320
QR:77L,320
Pictures of Cabins welcome, as are links to trip reports on this/ese sector(s)

Hi GF2B, welcome to Flyertalk!
Havent flown any of the airlines, just a IMO useful link for pictures with comments and trip reports:
airliners.net
( for a substantial amount of photos go to "photos" -> "photo search engine" -> choose your airline and "cabin view")

By the way, we are talking about a 2.5-hour flight here, so having to settle for mere business class is not the end of the world.

Exactly. QR, EY, and EK would involve back-tracking. GF is not such a bad airline; for a short-haul flight, it's no worse than the others if you get a wide-body. At least, the other airlines are certainly not so much better as to be worth the double travel time.
