Putting Gulf Air’s regional business class to the test

Today I’m testing out two different single-aisle business class products with Gulf Air, on the way from Jeddah to Dubai via Bahrain. First up we have the regional business class, and on the next leg we get lucky with an A321LR configured for mid-haul with lie-flat seats. These are the aircraft serving some cities in Europe, taking advantage of the A321LR’s range. Does this business class live up to the very promising name Falcon Gold? Just how comfortable is it? How is the service? And most importantly: can Gulf Air compete with the big boys of the Gulf? Watch to find out.

I’ll also show you the beautiful new terminal at Jeddah, the (maybe slightly less beautiful but still nice) new terminal at Bahrain plus the Falcon Gold lounge there, and everything in between.
