BelongingYour membership card, what it means and how to use it
Your membership card is all you need to access the many special privileges that are available to you. In order
to be recognised as a Gulf Air Frequent flyer at every stage of your journey, it’s important to make sure that
your membership number is quoted whenever a reservation is made, and that the name in the booking is
exactly the same as the name on your card. Also, please remember to present your card at check-in. Then you
can be sure of receiving all the rewards and benefits that are due to you.
There are three levels of membership in the programme - Blue, Silver and Gold. The more you fly, the faster
you achieve those higher levels and the extra benefits that they bring.

You can earn miles whenever you fly on Gulf Air or on codeshare services with Gulf Air flight numbers. You can
also earn miles by using selected services from our programme partners - see pages 16-25 for more information.
Nominated family members can even earn miles on your behalf. More information can be found on page 8.
Miles last longer
Unlike many other frequent flyer programmes whose miles have a relatively short lifespan, our miles are valid
for 10 years.

allowance shown on your ticket, free of charge. For Blue, the allowance is 10 kgs,
for Silver it’s 15 kgs and for Gold it’s a whole 20 kgs.
*Note: Service benefits are only available on Gulf Air and some of our airline partner flights. They are not available on flights which
have a Gulf Air flight number but are operated by our codeshare partners.

Quick redemptions
Subject to redemption seat availability, you can book your reward flights and travel
at very short notice. Blue members can book 14 days before travel for the regular
number of miles, or between 14 and 1 day before departure on payment of a US$ 20
fee or surrender of 3,000 miles.
Silver members can book four days before travel for the regular number of miles,
or between four days and one day before departure on payment of a US$ 20 fee
or surrender of 3,000 miles.
Gold members can book any time up to one day before departure, with no fees
or additional miles to pay.
Your own website
At the Frequent flyer website which is accessed via www.gulfair.com you can
find out everything you need to know about the current status of your account
and check all the latest news and special offers. This is a secure section where
you will need to provide a username and password to log in.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 8/63
Family accounts*
Nominate up to eight immediate family members and they can earn a whole
70% of the regular mileage award on your behalf every time they fly - even if
they're not travelling with you. Your nominated family members will each receive
their own membership cards and numbers. To ensure that you receive their
miles, don't forget that their membership numbers must be quoted when
booking and their cards shown at check-in. To nominate your family members
simply visit www.gulfair.com
* Note: Family members are not entitled to the benefits and privileges of the programme nor can they
accumulate miles when using partners or codeshare flights.
Top Up miles
If you find you don’t have quite enough miles to claim the reward you want, you
can now make up the difference by purchasing Top Up miles. Each 1,000 miles
will cost US$ 25 and you can purchase up to half the total redemption value.
Please note that Top Up miles can only be purchased at the time of claiming a
reward.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 9/63
Instant lounge upgrades
Silver and Gold members can now request an upgrade to First or Business Class in the Gulf Air lounges in Bahrain,
Dubai and London Heathrow if holding a ticket already booked in J, C, Y, H, K, M or L classes. Blue members
travelling in Business Class can also request an upgrade to First Class when using these lounges. The process is
simple; all you need to do is enquire at the lounge desk at least 60 minutes before your flight is due to depart. The
agent will then check whether you have enough miles in your account to make the upgrade and carry out the
booking. Upgrades at the lounge are of course subject to availability, but Gulf Air staff will keep you fully updated
and you will know the outcome of your request before you board. If a guest accompanying a Gold member into the
lounge wishes to upgrade to a higher class by redeeming their own miles, they may do so, as long as they are
holding a ticket already booked in J, C, Y, H, K, M or L classes. Also, Gold members can upgrade their guest if the
guest is already a pre-nominated family member. For further details on lounge upgrades please visit
www.gulfair.com and click on offers.
Extra tier bonuses
Silver members receive an extra 25% bonus on top of the standard mileage for flights with Gulf Air and Gold
members receive a generous additional bonus of 50%. If only 70% of miles are awarded for a particular class of
travel, for example, then the member will earn 25% of the 70% of miles.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 10/63
Waitlist priority
If you’re a Silver member you get waitlist priority over non-members if your
desired Gulf Air flight is fully booked. Gold members enjoy even higher priority.
First and Business Class check-in
You can save time by checking in at the First and Business Class desks, even if
you’re flying Economy Class.
Airport lounge access
When you’re flying with Gulf Air you can use the First or Business Class lounges
at many airports, even if you’re flying Economy Class. You’ll find the listing of
lounges on page 53-54.
Priority baggage handling
Our priority baggage handling will ensure that your baggage is among the first
to be delivered to the reclaim area.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 11/63
Guaranteed seat*
If your preferred flight is fully booked and you have a fully flexible, unrestricted ticket, we’ll do our utmost to find
you a seat in Economy, or a higher class if at all possible, as long as you’ve called Gulf Air reservations at least 48
hours before departure. We make every effort to honour this promise, but there may be occasions of extremely high
demand when it simply is not possible, for which we seek your understanding.
*This guarantee does not apply to redemption bookings.
Dedicated Gold desk
As a Gold member you can contact the dedicated Gold desk and receive prompt, personal help with travel bookings
redemptions and any questions you may have about your account. To contact the Gold desk please email your
queries to [email protected]
Exclusive partner offers
Many of our world class partners make extremely attractive additional offers which are available exclusively to our Gold
members.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 12/63
Gold for life membership
Earn a total of 10,000 loyalty points over a five year period and we’ll be delighted to award you Gold membership for
life. After that, you’ll only have to take two flights a year to maintain Gold status.
Lounge access for a guest
A companion who’s travelling with you on Gulf Air can join you in the First or Business Class airport lounges, irrespectiv
of your class of travel. Lounge access is conditional upon members and their guests being suitably attired. You’ll find
full details of the airports where this benefit is available in the Informing section on page 53-54.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 13/63
New members of our Frequent flyer programme are automatically enrolled at the Blue membership level,
which is valid for three years. Progressing to the higher, more advantageous Silver and Gold levels is simple
and easy.
AscendingHow to become a Silver or Gold member
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 14/63
As well as earning miles each time you fly with Gulf Air and on codeshare flights,
you’re also credited with loyalty points; the exact number depends on the route
and class you fly. To work out how many loyalty points you will receive for a
particular flight, you need to know your departure zone and destination zone.
You’ll find all the relevant details in the Informing section on pages 44-45.
As soon as you’ve earned the number of loyalty points required for Silver or Gold
membership within a 12 month period, you’re immediately moved up to that
level. Your new membership status is then valid for a year. Better still, less loyalty
points are required to maintain your higher membership level for another year.
To qualify initially for Silver membership you need 1,000 points, but you onlyneed 700 to re-qualify for a second or consecutive year, if you are already
holding Silver membership. The requirement for a second or subsequent year of
Gold membership drops from 2,500 to 1,750 points, if you are already a Gold
member. If you are downgraded from Silver to Blue or Gold to Silver, you will
need to earn the initial higher amount of loyalty points once again to qualify for
the higher tier.
Remember, if your journey involves more than one flight on Gulf Air you’ll be
awarded loyalty points for each flight.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 15/63
EarningHow and where you earn miles from flying
Gulf Air Frequent flyer miles are awarded for travel on all published First, Business, Economy Class and
Economy Excursion fares from Gulf Air. Promotional or discounted fares may also qualify for mileage
awards, on a slightly reduced basis. You will find full details in the Informing section on page 47.
The number of miles you earn will depend on the class of ticket and the distance flown. Flying on a full
fare Economy Class ticket will earn you one Frequent flyer mile for every mile you fly. Remember, you get
double miles for flying full fare Business Class and triple miles for full fare First Class. You’ll find a
comprehensive list of our destinations and the miles you’ll earn when flying to them on pages 48.
Don't forget that Silver members earn a further 25% more miles and Gold members 50% more.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 16/63
ParticipatingHow and where you earn miles from our partners
As well as earning miles when you fly, you can also earn them when you use selected services from our ever
growing range of world class partners.

and paying for the trip with one of our partner credit cards, you could really clock up a great deal of miles
and bring the rewards you want a whole lot closer. For more detailed information about earning rates and

How to redeem your miles
For the vast majority of Frequent flyers, free flights with Gulf Air are by far the most popular form of reward. They’re
flexible too as you can choose unlimited stopovers. You can even choose to redeem your miles for a one-way trip.
You’ll find a full list of the miles you’ll need to claim the free flight you want on page 51. Once you have enough miles
just follow the steps below.
Step one: Call the Gulf Air Call Centre or your local Gulf Air office. You’ll find a full list of telephone numbers on
pages 41-42. Please note that bookings for free flights must be made directly with Gulf Air; they can’t be made by
your travel agent. You can make your booking a maximum of 11 months before your intended flight, subject to seat
availability, and a minimum of one day before departure, according to your membership status.
Step two: Identify yourself as a Gulf Air Frequent flyer to the reservations staff, who’ll be able to give you instant
answers on seat availability. Please bear in mind that we aim to make your choice as wide as possible but there are
times of the year, especially busy holiday periods, when the availability of free flights will be severely restricted.
Step three: Select the flights you want to book and a reservation will be made for you.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 34/63
Step four: Usually, you’ll need to give the supervisor your current email address so that a written confirmation can
be sent to you, along with a redemption form. You’ll need to complete and sign this form where requested, and then
return it to the address which is given at the top of the form. Please do make sure to do this by the date shown;
failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your booking. Upon receipt of your signed redemption form, your
tickets will be emailed to you.
You can also make credit card payments over the phone; however this is only applicable for tickets originating in
Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, London, Muscat, the UAE and the USA. For more information go to www.gulfair.com where
you’ll find a list of numbers in your country.
Alternatively, you can go online to www.gulfair.com and download a Redemption Invoice form. Then you can either
mail it and have your tickets emailed to you at the address you have indicated on the form, or take it to your local
Gulf Air office and personally collect your tickets. However, if you’re collecting your tickets in person you will need
some form of photo identification.
Please note:
If your journey involves more than one Gulf Air flight you need to exchange the number of miles required for each flight.
You’ll find a full list of the miles you’ll need to claim the reward flight you want in the Informing section on page 51
The amounts shown are for one way flights. To calculate the number required for your particular journey, add
together the one way figures. All flights must be booked at the same time and open status tickets are not permitted
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 35/63
If you find that you’re unable to travel as booked, please contact your local Gulf Air office. They’ll assist you in
rebooking your trip. Service charges will apply to any changes to free flight bookings; they can be paid in cash
or miles.

Upgrades
Many Frequent flyers like to reward themselves with upgrades, so that they can
fly in even more style and comfort. And once you’ve clocked up enough miles you
can do just that, upgrading to Business Class if you have an Economy Class ticket
(Y, H, K, M or L), and to First Class if you have a Business Class ticket (J or C).
When upgrading from Economy to Business Class in the Gulf Air lounge at
Heathrow Airport, there will be a charge of GBP40 in addition to the required
miles. This is a passenger duty we are obligated to pass on to HM Revenue and
Customs.
You can request an upgrade as soon as you’ve bought a relevant ticket, by
calling the Gulf Air Call Centre or your local Gulf Air office. You’ll find a full list of
telephone numbers on pages 41-42. And you’ll find a full list of the miles you’ll
need to claim the upgrade you want on page 51.
8/6/2019 Handbook19!6!08 Gulf Air
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/handbook19608-gulf-air 39/63
Upgrades are of course subject to availability, but if the one you want is available it will be confirmed to you
immediately. You’ll then need to complete and sign a redemption form for the required number of miles.
You can also use your miles to upgrade a travelling companion, (who is a pre-nominated family member) so that yo
can both travel together in the same class.
Please note:
Upgrades must be booked and confirmed through a local Gulf Air office at least one day before travel; they cannot
be arranged immediately before a flight at the airport. However, at some lounges, members may request an upgrad
subject to availability. This applies to Silver and Gold members who want to upgrade to First or Business Class or
Blue members travelling Business Class who want to upgrade to First Class. For further conditions regarding upgrad
please visit www.gulfair.com and click on upgrades.

8. Crediting Loyalty Points and Miles
1. The crediting of due Loyalty Points and Miles to a Member's Account relies upon an automated activity tracking system. Recognition of a Membe
qualifying activity is driven by the data capture of the Membership number in association with that activity. Failure by the Member to declare
Membership of the Programme and his Membership number at the prescribed stages in booking and undertaking any activity will result in n
automatic award of Loyalty Points and/or Miles. It is then the Member's responsibility to make a retroactive claim for credit (see Section 9) which
eligible, would then be credited to his Account.
2. The Member should ensure that he or whoever is making an eligible booking on his behalf is aware of the Membership number and Member nam
as it appears on the Card and makes it known to Gulf Air at the time of booking. Traveller privileges cannot be provided if the Member has not advis
his Membership number and level.
3. The Member should also produce his Membership Card at check in to confirm data capture of his activity, even if his Membership number was alrea
given at reservation stage.
9. Retroactive Claims for Credits
1. If the record of a Gulf Air qualifying flight does not appear on the next statement after the flight date, or, in the view of the Member, it appea
incorrectly, then the Member should complete the retroactive claim form which is available on the reverse of the statement or on the website, enclo
the original boarding pass(es) and a legible copy of the passenger coupon from his ticket and send it to Programme offices in Bahrain. If the recordi
error involves a partner activity, the Member should follow the instructions given for that partner on the reverse of the statement, including t
provision of appropriate invoiced activity record documents. File copies should be retained for the Member's own reference.
2. All claims for retroactive credit must be made within six months of the flight or partner activity in question. No claims for retroactive credit more thsix months after the activity will be accepted.
3. Retroactive claims for flights made prior to the date on which the individual applied for Membership will not be eligible. The application date will
taken as the date of signature on the application form, provided it is no earlier than three months prior to the date on which the application w

received at the Gulf Air Frequent flyer programme offices.
4. Retroactive claims will not be accepted without the detailed evidence required in 9.1.

coupons from tickets and partner transaction documents in order to settle any account discrepancies and retroactive claims.
