Gulf Air offers spectacular introductory fares on new Dubai - London route

"We are delighted to offer this special fare from Dubai to London just in time for the peak summer period," said John Butler, Vice President Marketing and Sales at Gulf Air. "We hope that customers will take advantage of this new service, which offers greater choice and more convenience for customers between the UAE and the United Kingdom."

The introduction of the London-Dubai route brings to 33, the number of Gulf Air flights between London and the Gulf each week. "Gulf Air now has the greatest frequency of flights to the region out of Heathrow," added Mr Butler.
The daily Dubai flights are in addition to the twice-daily flights to Abu Dhabi, the two to Bahrain and one to Muscat. This makes Gulf Air the largest carrier out of London's Heathrow airport

Flights will depart Dubai International Airport at 11:30 arriving at London Heathrow at 17:55 after a 30-minute layover in Bahrain. There is, however, no aircraft change. For the return leg, the flight leaves London at 20:00 and arrives in Dubai at 9:40 the next morning.

Customers from Dubai will travel direct to London in the comfort of one of Gulf Air's luxurious ultra-long haul Airbus A340 aircraft, and enjoy the many innovative services offered on board. Onboard services include the airline's five star in-flight chef service in the First Class cabin, the equivalent of a First Class menu for Business Class passengers, and the Sky Nanny in all cabins.
