Frequently asked
What is Gulf Air Falcon Gold Business on the 787-9?
Falcon Gold on the 787-9 is the Apex Suite — a staggered two-two-two layout where every seat reaches the aisle without climbing over a neighbour. Alternating window positions are particularly private solo seats. It is not a one-two-one cabin, but the stagger achieves the same aisle-access result.
How wide is Economy on the Gulf Air 787-9?
Economy is nine-abreast in a three-three-three layout, which is the standard 787 configuration and gives a comfortable seat width for long-haul flying. The 787 cabin also has a lower pressurisation altitude and higher humidity than older widebodies.
Which Economy seats have extra legroom on Gulf Air 787-9?
Extra-legroom seats are available toward the front of the Economy cabin across several rows. The cabin map shows the exact positions — worth selecting early on Gulf Air's longer Bahrain routes.
