After <strong>70 years in the game<\/strong>, they have the service factor down. Arabian hospitality blends perfectly with modern expectations and they certainly make a promising impression.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s break down what makes them great in a little more detail.

While not as spacious as upgraded cabins, the seats are cosy enough and the cabin crew delivers top-notch service.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Falcon Gold makes you feel like royalty<\/strong>. The enhanced legroom means you&#8217;re already feeling the benefits of elevated services &#8211; especially on those longer flights. For reference, the direct flight from London to Bahrain on Gulf Air takes roughly 6-8 hours. So, during that time, you&#8217;re going to want to experience the very best service levels, right?
