I'd also be interested in what Gulf Air are like. Not for myself though. My dad is flying with them to Nepal in April (charity expedition) and no one we know has used them before!

We used Gulf air for a trip to Dubai August 2003 and found them to be very, very good.

Check in at LHR was a bit of a zoo but we were allocated exit row seats without asking. On board entertainment was very modern - seat back TVs with cameras front and down. (You can't see much at night or over the desert though:) )

Service very friendly - all the staff appear to be linguists.

On the way back at DXB we showed our FC Silver cards to make sure we got the tier point and were very surprised to be invited into their excellent first class lounge :D

I would have no hesitation in flying with them again.

I'm looking to go to Muscat via Abu Dhabi and it's showing flights on , A330 and A340 can anyone recommend which seat is best on the plane - can't seem to find shots of the business offering anywhere... would appreciate any help!
