RARE LUXURY: Flying GULF AIR - Business Class vs Economy comparison
We flew with Gulf Air from London to Bahrain for our latest multi cabin comparison. Nicky flew in business class and Liam flew in economy on Gulf Air's flagship Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

Your dad is really cool and has amazing job 😎
Gulf Air looks very snazzy with that Apex Suite cabin (I once tried the same cabin on Oman Air's 787-9 a few years back). Plus it's good that they have a couple options for using points and miles in order to book such as Etihad Guest and Air Canada Aeroplan
Window Seat with no one around? Ok, that’s the ideal situation. Liam had his prayers answered lol
I've had 8 flights on gulf air a good few years ago on the A330, and it was a brilliant experience.. All in economy and all were pretty empty.. Awesome service all round, good food and drink... Planning for a trip to Sri Lanka next year and gulf are back on the list of who's gonna take me :)
Good review. As a long-term Middle Eastern expat resident I can say that Gulf Air Cabin Crew (Gulfies) are the best. Gulfies are so warm & friendly and less aloof than other airline crews. Emirates & Etihad are also good airlines but Gulf Air offers better value, regardless of travel class

Absolutely you right
Fantastic video guys, keep up the great work!!
I absolutely love your channel it has been a while since I discovered it and I enjoy all your content
Awesome video man .. Really enjoyed the video
Another fab video as always guys, loving all the content
Wow, Gulf air exceeded my expectations. I'm really keen to fly with them after your superb review. Excellent.
I just love your enthusiasm: reminds us all of the joys and exitement of air travel.
2:00 "So sorry for you man". The check in employee got no chill ..... lol XD Liam and Jean are the best persons to describe about Economy class in much detail. Nicky also does good review of Economy but he is on a different level when he reviews Business Class.

Love videos with Liam!!
We love to see Liam being pampered. Maybe next time.
Of course, we’ve got a jumpy intro. Love that ♥️
Underrated channel need more subs than anyone
I traveled with Gulf air back in 2015. The reason why I checked your video was to only know whether or not they have on flight screen. Thanks I found what I was looking for.
Thank you for the great review! Seems to be a nice and yet fairly unknown airline. The seats remind me of the Economy and Business Class of Oman Air which offers a great product and service. I might post a review about Oman Air on my channel soon.

Very well known actually. Their L-1011 Tristars looked amazing in their livery back in the day.
Great video as usual.
Beautifully shot …hope the golden era of gulf air of 70s and 80s come back, an airline with history and changed aviation industry in Middle East.
love your videos! thanks so much
Great video, I am going to alaska very soon and I am gonna use my points from other journeys.

Nicky rubbing his successful coffee adventure in Liam’s face. Don’t do that 😂
Didn't expect it to be soo good!!

Always brightens my day to see a video. For fun, but I am tucking away the knowledge :)
Yayyy they are back!
Thank you so much sir for showing this amazing airline last time i flown Gulf was back in 2004 Bahrain. Did you know this was the very first airline in the Arabian Gulf region hence it was called gulf air?
Being jean back
I can't believe it, you came to my home country! Never expected!
Love apex suites. No restricted foot space and just straight away bed no weird turns and such. Flew it on Korean air last April it was awesome!
These are my two favourites!
Brilliant video
First off I’m late, but when that gold packaged snacks came out, I about died from laughter. I thought was a flipping magnum condom. 😂😂😂
Did Bahrain to Bangkok in Business and IT WAS GREAT !! Gulf Air is a great little airline....
You know is a good video when we watch Liam flying in economy 😂
I have never clicked faster

How long does it take you to edit your videos roughly and what do you guys use to edit them?
Well done. Might just choose Gulf Air economy now to Bangkok in the new year. Prices very good at the moment!
The flight was may be almost empty, but in summer it fully booked
Liam in the thumbnail = instant watch
Nice to see you two handsome gentlemen doing what you do best. And no masks!!
Dessert trolley, superb!
Surprised you didn't show the starters and jumped straight onto the main meal, a little disappointed with the service wayy too much plastic although pretty good. Awesome review guys 👍
This is perfect I’m going on this airline this December *hopefully*
Oh, no! That Business Class seat looks like the awful seat used by British Airways. It's like you were in the cupboard under the stairs at grandma's house. And that TV screen, did you get opera glasses? You needed them as it's so far away. Great entertaining report from you guys, as always.
Love your travel tips What are the tips for easyjet flying with them for the 1st time Cheers
Love it!
Tried flying on Gulf air's dream liner and it wasn't falcon gold class it was quite comfortable experience I must say
I literally flew in gulf air in falcon business class but I came on terminal 4 we stoped at Bahrain and we went to the gulf air lounge and then we landed in our destination and it was nice my first lime as well so yeah it was a good experience
I love your videos, and I wanna ask you if you can do one flight in El Al?
Flying Gulf Air next month for the first time. Manchester to Bangkok. Cant wait
The Economy experience might not have been so pleasant if the plane was full, but it still would be pretty good. The Business Class seat was really great, but I though that the meal service was a disappointment. No starter or salad? And leaving the foil cover on the plate was tacky.

Hello at the economy ticket could you bring with you a luggage cabin size. Randome samsonite cabin size… 55x40x30cm?
Im still waiting for an Air New Zealand review video!
I’m literally going to London to Bahrain next Thursday!!
i havent been watching the point guys UK for maybe a year or two and im wondering wh is it now only Liam and Nicky
Never heard of gulf air before😂
The airline I was waiting for . Actually !
Nice!
Thanks!! Do gulf air serve free wine bottle for economy like other airlines does?
I wonder why Nikky fly's in style and Liam is always in economy class
You guys should do hotel review as well
I love you am from Syria
Philippines airline. Have you guys review them.
4:40 they never would have known that Nicky was following them
I feel like the Steward attending to Nicky looked like he knew about the ‘Call Bell Challenge’.
My first ever long haul flight was with Gulf Air. LHR, Bahrain, BKK, HKG, way back in 1988 as a 17 yr old. . I still have the amenity kit somewhere. It was a fabulous experience, crew and fellow passengers were so friendly and. Incredibly helpful. Love Gulf Air,
Do an economy long haul flight please
Im hoping to fly Gulf Air London- Bahrain, -then an onward trip.. so I’m intrigued.. its 9hrs flight so. 2 meals? + free meals when in airport on wait, and hotel access.
Liam feels like the little buddy for Nicky, I quite miss the duo between Nicky and Jean, not sure why he left.
how would it be if you try one of the indian air carriers
Great vid guys very cute guys too fab xXx
Appreciate your videos.Please come to India and review our airlines and as we say any guest to us is like god visiting us.
Good work guys. No pyjamas in Business Class?
