First Class on Gulf Air

Some airlines are not content to call their upper class levels of service things like the straightforward “First Class.” Some airlines give those cabins special names to make passengers flying in them feel even more exclusive. Such is the case with Gulf Air. First Class on Gulf Air is also known as Falcon Gold, a reference to the airline’s gold falcon logo.

Gulf Air’s First Class cabins are truly luxurious, with extremely spacious and comfortable seats and all the amenities you could ask for to make even long-haul flights easier to handle.
