Hey Guys

    I had taken Gulf air's flight in this december. I had very wonderful experience with Gulf air and Peaceland Travel. I had 17 hours of transit in Bahrain. Do you believe 17 damn hour of transit in Bahrain. Due to that case when I checked in luggage in US they said I had very long transit so I have to collect my baggage at Bahrain and then keep my baggage with me till I check in that baggage to the Bahrain Kathmandu plane. So the problem started when I landed on Bahrain's airport. First I went to get the boarding pass for my tommorrow's flight to kathmandu. They were So bad behaved oh my guss. I finally got my boarding pass and told them about my baggage they said it would be in Kathmandu. I was not sure coz american airlines told me that I had to collect my baggage in Bahrain. So I asked them again to make it sure. Oh my god they were so mad at me. But one good thing, they gave me hotel to stay as my transit was long. So I slept in the hotel. But early in the morning I got the call that my flight has changed and its 3 hours earlier than the posted time. I came to the airport. Then I had to take new boarding pass. But they never told me to do that. Wow to take the boarding pass I had to wait almost hour and half in the queue. So I finally got the boarding pass and get boarded in the plane. When I landed Kathmandu my luggage didn't came. I received my baggage after almost 10 hours later.

While returning there were 15 people who have been in flight with me from KTM to dallas. Nobody got their luggage. Our luggage didn't even came to the Paris. I finally got my luggage almost after a week.

So summary of this story is:

1. If you put any electronic instrument(except pen drive) in your luggage then you will never get your luggage. If there is laptop in your luggage then your luggage will be lost 99%. There is just 1% chance that you will get your luggage.

2. If your luggage do not have electronic then you will get your luggage after a day or two.

So dont fly with Gulf air.
