Gulf Air has launched a Ramadan promotion offering special deals for customers from Bahrain and the GCC countries to travel to 20 popular destinations across its network in Europe, the Indian sub-continent, the Far East and the Middle East.
Fares have been reduced substantially to certain destinations making them ‘affordable and offering real value-for-money’ on several destinations for those who plan their travel in advance, the airline says.
The campaign closes on Saturday and the offers are available online at www.gulfair.com, any of its local offices and from its contact centre. The highlight of the campaign is the extended travel period that allows passengers to book now and fly from July 18 until October 18.
For example, the economy return fare from Bahrain to London is BD288 including all taxes under the promotion. For an all-inclusive fare of just BD125, a customer can travel from Bahrain to Bombay and return. The economy return fare from Bahrain to Beirut has been reduced to BD141 while the fare to Istanbul is only BD170 with all taxes included. The all-inclusive return fare for Karachi is just BD144.
“With the holy month of Ramadan approaching it is the time when expatriate Muslims from Bahrain and the wider Gulf region plan their travel to join their families to observe fasting, celebrate Eid at home and come back,” said Gulf Air chief commercial officer Karim Makhlouf. “It is also a time for residents and non-Muslims to plan their vacation to their favourite destinations well in advance.
“By offering these promotional fares we would like to make their travel and vacation more affordable and enjoyable. We invite all our customers to take advantage of these fantastic value-for-money deals during this Ramadan campaign.”
“One of the attractive features of the promotion is the extended travel period – unlike other such promotions that usually allow a very limited travel period, our promotion allows customers to travel up to October, giving our varied customer-segments added convenience of longer travel period.
“We hope our customers will find this great offer irresistible and enjoy Gulf Air’s brand new fleet and its enhanced products and services.”
Gulf Air, currently hoping to secure a multi-million dinar government investment, now operates a young fleet of aircraft with an average age of just 5.2 years. Most have been fitted with modern interiors, full flatbed seats on Falcon Gold class, the world’s first in-flight entertainment suite, SkyHub that offers hi-speed broadband internet, mobile phone connectivity, live TV telecasting popular international entertainment and sports channels, and a collection of movies, music and games.
In addition Gulf Air’s unique Sky Nanny and Sky Chef services have received positive feedback from customers leading to the airline winning awards including best ‘family friendly airline’ award twice from US-based publications and the ‘best cabin crew’ ranking from an IATA survey.
