My checked baggage was damaged on a Gulf Air international flight. The damage was reported immediate

My checked baggage was damaged on a Gulf Air international flight. The damage was reported immediately at arrival.

Although the airline acknowledged the damage, they offered only EUR 60, claiming that luggage older than five years is automatically considered “wear and tear”. This is their internal policy, not a rule under the Montreal Convention.

After I asked for a review of the compensation, Gulf Air refused and stopped responding.

Very disappointing customer care and a clear disregard for passenger rights.

The service ruined our travel plans.

The service completely disrupted our trip. Our flight was changed at the last minute, causing us to miss our connection. After spending a night in a foreign city, our flight was cancelled again, forcing us to stay another night, and then it was delayed once more the next day. We experienced delays for two full days and ended up missing a significant family event. Hotel accommodation cannot compensate for such poor planning and lack of communication. It was extremely frustrating – I cannot recommend this service at all.

Extremely disappointing customer service experience

I had a terrible experience with customer service when my flight was delayed for 15 hours. When I tried to contact the support team, no one answered my calls. I couldn't connect with anyone for assistance. I've never encountered such poor service before. I visited the local office, but they only directed me to the call center for help. I advise others to avoid this airline if you're planning a trip.

Disappointing Experience on Flight

I traveled on a flight with my family and was let down by the cabin management and the unfair treatment of passengers. Despite ensuring my hand luggage met the requirements, there was no space in the overhead bins as the crew allowed oversized bags without enforcement. When I addressed this with the cabin purser, her response was rude. I requested to store my bags in the empty Business Class section for safety, but was denied. Being forced to keep my bag under the seat caused discomfort, especially with my previous ankle injuries. The crew's attitude was unacceptable, and I feel frustrated that compliant passengers are penalized while others are not. The airline needs to improve its baggage policy enforcement and staff behavior. I will reconsider booking with this airline again.

Disappointing Cabin Management and Unhelpful Crew

I traveled on a flight with my family and was extremely dissatisfied with the cabin management and the unfair treatment of passengers. I ensured my hand luggage met the 7kg limit and dimensions, but upon boarding, there was no space in the overhead bins, as the crew allowed others to bring oversized bags without enforcement. When I approached the cabin purser, her response was rude and dismissive, which was disheartening. I even requested to store my bags in the empty Business Class bins for safety, but was denied in a disrespectful manner. Instead, I was forced to keep my bag under the seat, causing me significant discomfort during the flight. As a paying passenger, I expected access to the overhead bin. With previous ankle fractures, it was particularly hard to manage my leg space. The crew's attitude was unacceptable; they should embody hospitality and compassion. I feel frustrated to follow the rules while others do not, and the airline needs to enforce its baggage policy more effectively and improve staff conduct. I will think twice before flying with this airline again.

Would Rate Zero Stars

I would give zero stars if possible. I booked a business class ticket months in advance, only to have my flight cancelled days before departure without reason. The customer service was unhelpful, directing me to my travel agent for cancellations. If they treat premium customers this poorly, I can only imagine how economy passengers are treated.

Unprofessional Airline with Poor Customer Service

If I could give zero stars, I would. My flight from Bahrain to Manchester was rescheduled by over six hours, and despite assurances for accommodation during the layover, there was chaos at the airport with no one knowing about reservations. After waiting for over two hours, we received no accommodation and spent eight hours at the airport. The customer service number was only for reservations, and despite submitting feedback online, there was no communication regarding my complaint. The crew's service during the flight was also lacking, and I will never fly with this airline again.

Unsettling Flight Experience

I recently flew with the airline, and the experience was quite unsettling. The flight was extremely shaky, causing anxiety for me and my family. The turbulence was worse than I have encountered before, making me hesitant to travel with this airline again. I hope they improve flight smoothness and communication during turbulent periods.

Not Up to Expectations for a Middle Eastern Airline

The airline turned what should have been an enjoyable holiday into a stressful nightmare. Just 72 hours before my flight from Bangkok to Manchester via Bahrain, I was informed of a significant delay. I reached out for assistance but received no response. Even at their office in Thailand, I was assured of support and compensation, yet upon arrival in Bahrain, the assistance was minimal. I had to stand in long queues for transit services, which took over two hours to arrange. My return flight was also delayed significantly, and when I raised a complaint, I was met with vague responses about 'operational issues' without any real compensation for my losses. I find it unacceptable that my issue could lead to a deadlock requiring further escalation. For anyone considering flying with this airline, I urge you to think carefully to avoid unnecessary stress.

Over 10-Hour Delay with Poor Communication

I experienced a delay of over 10 hours in Bahrain, with staff providing no information about the reasons for the delay or when we would be flying back. We had to queue multiple times without explanation and were left to sleep on airport chairs. I would not recommend this airline to anyone and certainly would not fly with them again. I submitted complaints through their website but received no reply or compensation.
