Gulf Air officially inaugurated its Falcon Gold Lounge at Bahrain International Airport under the patronage of HE Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al-Khalifa, minister of culture.
The fully-renovated lounge integrates contemporary design and architecture with Arabian influences. For the first time, premium passengers have the added facilities of seven private sleeping rooms, a cigar lounge and shower rooms with hotel-style towels and luxury brand toiletries and amenities.
With free Wi-Fi throughout the lounge, discreet power sockets at every seat and a business centre that includes PCs, fax machines and printers, the lounge is well-catered for business travellers. For families the lounge offers a spacious family room with highly trained professional SkyNannies in attendance as well as a gaming room equipped with Xbox and PlayStation units.
The lounge upgrade is in-line with the airline’s service and product enhancement strategy both in the air and on ground including the company’s aircraft which are either new or have been refurbished. The current fleet age is 5.2 years.
Gulf Air chief services officer Marcus Bernhardt said: “The revamp of the Bahrain Falcon Gold Lounge is part of an extensive lounge-renovation program across our network. This will be preceded next year by the upgrading of our premium lounge in Dubai International Airport.”
The lounge can accommodate up to 200 people and all Platinum, Gold and Silver card holding FFP members of Gulf Air, and premium class ticket holders of Gulf Air’s code-share partner airlines.
