14 Airlines Offering Surprising Business Class Upgrades That Don't Break the Bank

11. Gulf Air: Falcon Gold Privacy

Gulf Air's Falcon Gold Business Class offers a strong, private product on its wide-body aircraft, particularly on the 787 Dreamliner. Featuring full lie-flat beds in a reverse-herringbone layout, it provides excellent personal space and direct aisle access. The airline maintains a high standard of service and catering, with a focus on Middle Eastern hospitality. As a smaller, less-hyped carrier, its fares can offer significant luxury value compared to its larger Gulf rivals.
