However, I was pleasantly surprised when we managed to get through bag checks and security with ease.<\/p>\n<p>I will start by saying that it is definitely <strong>not the shortest journey<\/strong>! With connecting flights and waiting times, it took us just over 24 hours to actually arrive at South Palm Resort.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving Heathrow, we made the 6-and-a-half-hour journey to Bahrain<span style=\"color: #03a9f4;\"> <a style=\"color: #03a9f4;\" href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/2024\/05\/are-gulf-air-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>flying with Gulf Air<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.
