Underrated Airlines That Offer First-Class Comfort at Economy Prices
30. Gulf Air
Gulf Air quietly delivers a premium cabin experience that rivals larger Gulf carriers—at a far more affordable price. Its Falcon Gold business class features lie-flat seats with privacy partitions, dine-on-demand menus, and tailored Middle Eastern hospitality. Onboard chefs serve up locally inspired dishes and high-end international fare, while the mood-lit cabins and elegant amenity kits elevate comfort. Gulf Air’s hub in Bahrain offers a sleek, tranquil lounge experience, and promotional fares to Europe, Asia, and Africa often undercut Emirates and Qatar by hundreds. For those in the know, Gulf Air is a hidden luxury steal in the Middle East.
