GULF AIR: The Best BUSINESS CLASS You’ve NEVER Heard Of 🤫 *here’s why*

[@robertmorris1585]

I'm a Brit living in the USA. I love your videos, and, thank God you know how to eat with a knife and fork and your gob shut!! Millie is a classy lady and only adds to the high standard of your videos. Cheers, keep it up!!

[@CupOfTea834]

Don't worry about attire. It happened to me when I tried to check in at the business class counter and the steward came running asking if I was at the wrong counter. 🤣 And all this because I was dressed very relaxed ready for a 12 hour flight. People who fly a lot don't dress up, they have learnt their lessons over the years. More important are good manners, but this goes for all classes.

[@Boujiehoodrat]

Wearing a suit for travel was the social norm in the 1960's, but as long as you practice personal hygiene, sweatpants and comfort clothes are perfectly acceptable for modern travel. People who complain are just looking for something to complain about

[@GMAMEC]

You’re absolutely right regarding what is acceptable. However, numerous studies confirm that clothing can impact an individual’s behavior and performance. Clothing also impacts how you’re treated. While I love being comfortable and believe people should be treated with respect, regardless of their attire, there is a difference. I actually learned this lesson when traveling. People were more respectful and attentive when I wore “business attire”.

[@AnneMB955]

@@GMAMEC We’ll said! Although comfort clothes should be acceptable, I find most of those we accompany in the lounges are dressed well. I much prefer to blend in than make a statement.

[@betrousaltaweel]

Love this APEX suite layout. Oman Air, JAL and Korean have the same seats on most of their business class configs. They are by far the best 2-2-2 business class products.

[@beneyweneys]

​@Rafa 123 I think they've scrapped that on the newer aircraft. In their newest configuration its a pretty standard 1-2-1. Its pretty nice. Not to the same level as ANA or Qatar Qsuite but its a solid business class seat.

[@gerrib1633]

Very nice video indeed! I had flown Gulf Air way back in the 80s and my experience was not that good, not that bad either. But GF had very helpful cabin crew and terrific food even in Y class. Its so nice to see how GF had made itself much more competitive and aggressive in promoting its premium class. I had flown its competitor Emirates in bith J and Y classes and EK did a very fantastic job with world-class service and amenities. It seemed that GF was somewhat overshadowed by the successes of EK as well as Etihad and Qatar Airways but somehow your video proved how GF can be at a par with its competitors from the Arabian Gulf. Keep up the great job :-)

[@CootTheGamer]

Hey Trek! First of all being from Bahrain, I would like to thank you for flying Gulf Air, reviewing it and sharing your personal thoughts, i hope you liked our new terminal! Currently Bahrain is doing well even in this pandemic, with vaccinations and testing. Gulf Air only operates their flights to London, Pakistan and several Gulf States, and I hope that they expand their service to New York in the US soon. The price of the ticket for what is worth is way beyond the limits, especially for those transit passengers! Once again thank you for visiting bahrain, and we would be glad to have you back soon!

[@dod-rw9xl]

True that! But gulf air doesn't fly to only London in Europe, frankfurt and Paris aswell and in East pacific they fly to Manila, Bangkok and from 3rd April they are starting flights to Singapore. 😄

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks I’m glad you liked the video :) and I will be back onboard Gulf soon. Loved the new terminal, I have a separate video coming very soon to the channel where I explore and also fly Gulfs brand new A321 in business

[@Trektrendy]

Super excited about the new Singapore route, especially as it’s also operating the 787. I’ll no doubt be on this later in the year providing things open up 🤞🏼

[@CootTheGamer]

Their 787s**. They also fly them to the Philippines, Thailand, and their upcoming destination this week, Singapore. They operate a single flight to Paris and Frankfurt on their recently added A321neo, due to the current situation and demand. The plan of Gulf Air with its rising destinations along with the new terminal, recent Israel flights and some of the highest rated non-quarantine rules (if negative on arrival) make it one of the best airlines to fly during the pandemic. Once again, thanks for flying to Bahrain, we hope you enjoyed your transit here...

[@sebastianbordage5776]

Regarding what people should wear when travelling in Business Class; I dress casual (with new or reasonably new looking clothes). I see no need to "dress up" for the occasion, as I have paid for my seat and should not have to follow a dress code. I think you are right to wear what you are most comfortable in and what fashion you prefer. Great videos by the way!

[@julieg8865]

Just a note to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. I love, love, love your NASA attire. I watch all your videos I can because right now I’m going through a tough time and you help me to escape my worries for a little while. Thanks and enjoy your travels. I also love how you concentrate on the positives. A lot of KZbinrs are particularly harsh on AmTrak so I appreciate your positively obvious enjoyment of riding it. I’d love to see you and Dad travel together again. Safe travels and sincerest thanks.

[@tanyawhitaker6551]

Wearing what you want is the best thing to do. Happy travels x

[@michaelafalck1345]

I just subscribed to your channel and I really like it. Especially that you spice it up with a sense of humor. To answer your question…I’m working with an airline and travelled myself in Business Class for vacation and I always dress up in casual Business attire. Not to fancy but also not too casual. As a customer with our airline you can literally wear what you want unless you don’t show up half naked 😂

[@juan-luissuarez859]

Flew GF a few years ago on their older aircraft and business seat, it was made excellent by their staff, who were attentive, friendly and a total delight to fly with, food was excellent too. Look forward to flying in the new aircraft/seat.

[@pjsvandamme]

I always fly semi dressed-up and comfortable (chino,shirt/polo and jacket, all with stretch fabrics) from Uniqlo. I used to buy it in Tokyo or Paris, but nowadays they’re everywhere. It’s cheap and as comfortable as a track-suit.

[@jorgeberrelleza-ramos3158]

Nice video, regarding travel attire when air traveling, be it tourist or business/1st classes, I wouldn't mind at all dressing casual, comfortable. If I look like a bum on first class, then be it. You're the customer man, the one paying for the airline first or business class offering, you get to choose how to dress on the trip.

[@mojo657]

You mentioned that you get comments about your casual dress. Don’t worry about it, I think you look fine. When your sitting on a plane for hours, you want to be comfortable. Your nice and tidy and you do dress up if the occasion calls for it. Eg. the Orient Express.

[@kevinkim271]

Your dress attire is fine. Better than most folks flying. Comfort is the way to go especially on long hauls. The only time I do dress up is if I’m flying with my friend on his pass in business. Mainly because it is airline policy (so no shorts, shirts need to have a collar and no sandals).

[@jackjameson3899]

A hint for your shoelaces to stay in place; instead of tying them clockwise try tying them counterclockwise. It always works for me. Great videos and I wish you had many more subscribers.

[@shakesnbake]

Great video as always - always wanted to try Gulf Air. There was a story over the weekend where the GA 787-9 was practicing for its flyby at the Bahrain GP. Seb Vettel highlighted that it was bad for the environment - Gulf Air said no problem Seb - we have some experimental biofuel that we could use!!! So cool!

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks so much for watching buddy. And yeah I saw wasnt that epic! Let's hope they extend their route network a bit and buy a few more of those dreamy 787-9s :)

I know this may be a it late, but you should try out the old A330-300 (with 3 classes) on Oman air. The business class is literally IDENTICAL to first, just with a little less privacy. The seat is wide, the footrest is wide, and it is arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration.

There are ways to dress upscale AND comfortable. I usually wear my most comfortable office clothes and shoes, usually trousers and a knit top, with a jacket I rarely put on. As far as your flights go, I cry in the USA. I would love the option to have a seat like this for a cross country flight! I started flying in the 1970s and watched the US airlines getting worse and worse, and international flights get better.

[@johndornoff]

Great video. When it comes to flying you should dress in what is comfortable for you and it is nobody else's business. I prefer to dress up if I am flying in a higher-end cabin but then again I don't get to fly as often as I wished.

[@keithsanderson4299]

Wear whatever you are comfortable with and is still appropriate. In my opinion you wardrobe is fine.

Great video, makes me want to give Gulf Air a go rather than rely on Qatar or Emirates. Just a shame their route network is not as good for transiting to other destinations so limits the appeal somewhat

Having travelled first and business class a number of times now I tend to wear smart casual. Obviously we need to be comfortable but if we utilise the airport lounges they usually have a dress code. As I get older I’m finding I like to dress better anyway than I did in the past. BTW, love the look of those Business suites. ✈️

Absolutely live #GulfAir. Used them all the time when I lived in Bahrain. Their customer service is second to none and their staff are just the best ⭐

[@RyuSensei42]

Personally, I dress for comfort and convenience. That means a T-shirt and trousers with as many pockets as possible under the assumption that I will not have access to my bag or jacket mid-flight. In cooler weather, I will wear a zip up hoodie which can be converted to a blanket or pillow as needed. If I'm flying into somewhere really cold, say Toronto in January, I'll also wear my Doctor Who scarf. Incredibly versatile and a great conversation starter.

Fantastic job as always Will. Great stuff. I've tried the Oman Air version of that apex suite and can confirm that it is very comfortable.

I can’t imagine thinking you need to dress up when flying expensive seats. If you pay an excess amount for that seat in order to maximize comfort, what’s the point in being uncomfortable just to look good? I’ll tell you, there isn’t one. Not to mention, the staff put up with some crazy requests (quite commonly, actually.) I can assure you, what you’re wearing is the least of their worries.

Bahrain is open for tourists since September last year, Visa on arrival is also available.

[@timmellor2599]

If you're travelling business, I think you should be dressed in smart casual (at least a shirt, as you have). Your Tims aren't a crime in this class, but as it is for business people it just seems more respectful and in keeping with the environment. Leave the tracksuits and t-shirts only for economy! As for the flight and cabin, I suddenly want to save some euroes and go to Bahrain! That cabin looks like one of the best, although that Oman seat and cabin looked a notch above!

[@wonkeydonkeydonkeychannel8566]

Brilliant I’m looking for a good recommendation and this has helped me choose Gulf!

[@kdkay4039]

I think you should dress comfortably but throw in a nice coat/blazer etc. if the need arises to dress yourself up a smidge. My hubby travels in jeans, a tee shirt, with a button down on but unbuttoned to avoid wrinkles, and carries a sports coat. That way he can button up his shirt, tuck it in, throw on his coat and he’s ready for his business meeting. However comfort should be the goal.

[@amazonian09]

If I am travelling long haul I dress even more casual than you. No make up and wearing my glasses. Its all about me having a comfortable. No high heels even for short haul flights. I say dress to what you are comfortable

[@TravelCharlie]

100% I agree. Especially if the airline doesn't provide PJ's I prefer to be in comfortable casual clothes for long-haul flights.

I fly business a lot, and I have never ever felt compelled to wear a fancy dress and high heels. I typically wear a light sweater, fitted jeans, and boots that are easy to remove for TSA. How are you supposed to get comfortable in your seat if you’re wearing an uncomfortable outfit? The hateful comments are from people who are jealous that they don’t get to travel the way you do, and so they seek to take their jealousy out on you. Those people have likely never even sniffed business class, never been able to afford a vacation, and live vicariously through the travels of others. Pay them no mind. The way I see it, as long as you are clean and not wearing a shirt with a bunch of swear words or hate speech, you can and should wear whatever the hell you want. YOU PAID TO BE THERE. It’s not a fancy restaurant with a dress code. Rock your jeans and shimmy on these haters.

I had the worst business class experience ever on Gulf Air from Thailand to Saudi Arabia. They literally ran out of food and told me I would have to choose something from economy class.
