...Well...I left on December 2 via Chicago-Paris-Bahrain-KTM and back via KTM-Bahrain-London-Chicago on January 2. I did not had any problems with GULF...I thought they were lot better than Qatar. At Bahrain we had 16 hours transit and they got the 1 day transit visa for us and took us to the Downtown area (15-20 minutes drive) and kept us in a 5 star luxurious Hotel for free with free Dinner and Breakfast. They came and pick us up at 10 in the morning. We get to see Bahrain and spent 2-3 hours just sight seeing...We really enjoyed it...and since we get to sleep at Hotel we did not felt any jet-lags...Bahrain to KTM was ok due to our nepali Daju-bhai who kept on asking for more drinks and some guys actually started fighting inside plane ()...and yes it is true that everyone will start getting up as soon as plane lands...but hey most of those Nepalese brothers were probably too excited to come back home..I understand...and also they were not instructed in Nepalese language either...it was just arabic and English...so how can we expect all them Nepalese to understand all the safety instructions??? hoina ra??

...But for us, we did not had any problems and I will definitely travel with Gulf again...lot better than Qatar..
