Do you have phone/email or website address of peaceland? Thx.

I recently travel by Virgin Atlantic Gulf Air. Gulf Air is better than Virgin Atlantic. Had no problem all the way to KTM or back from KTM. Virgin Atlantic gave trouble and stress by cancelling flight at last moment. Regarding electronics, keep them in a back pack or other bags. Dont hang them on your hand so that they can see. You wont have any problem.

I recommend PeaceLands myself.....they are very responsive, and from experience, their price is very very reasonable.....

I avoided Gulf Air myself as I read so many negative reviews......I did some research on this site <www.airlinequality.com/StarRanking/ranking.htm> and found out Gulf Air did not fair well..thus opted for Cathay.....Electronics wise, you should be fine....just make sure they are in hand carry ! Havea safe trip, and let us know how Gulf Air works for u.....their service might have improved in recent days....

 

No Problem with gulf air when i went to Nepal. You can take laptops but don't know how many coz before boarding the plane at each transit, you must take out your laptop from bag to pass it through scanner. But you don't have to take out other electronics. Nepal ma they didn't check anything at all.

 

 

hello ppl,
i just traveled from gulf air. its been like 3 weeks...
gulf was okay...i really did not had any big expectations...
my luggage came in time...but frm bahrain to ktm was the worst one.
there were lots of workers n the plane was smelling awfull...the funniest thing was ..our plane was just landing in nepal  and all the ppl were hurrying to take thier lugaage as if they wud miss a bus...and the pilot was telling them...bhaiya betho betho n still they were not listening n the pilot said that; bhaiya hindi samaj me nai aate hai kya ??? mene kahan betho abhi flight land nai huyee hai abhetak...
me n my cousin couldn't stop laughing...that was the funniest moment ever. the bad experience, i had was with my connecting flight from american airlines.... when i got to Chicago frm Nepal. my connecting flight got canceled. they said that it was a weather problem. but i doubt it. i think they just said that because they did not wanted to pay for the hotel bills. i heard most of the domestic flight are getting canceled due to the increase of gas price.  one more thing i did not had any problem with electronic good as well while getting to Nepal.

Hey Guys

    I had taken Gulf air's flight in this december. I had very wonderful experience with Gulf air and Peaceland Travel. I had 17 hours of transit in Bahrain. Do you believe 17 damn hour of transit in Bahrain. Due to that case when I checked in luggage in US they said I had very long transit so I have to collect my baggage at Bahrain and then keep my baggage with me till I check in that baggage to the Bahrain Kathmandu plane. So the problem started when I landed on Bahrain's airport. First I went to get the boarding pass for my tommorrow's flight to kathmandu. They were So bad behaved oh my guss. I finally got my boarding pass and told them about my baggage they said it would be in Kathmandu. I was not sure coz american airlines told me that I had to collect my baggage in Bahrain. So I asked them again to make it sure. Oh my god they were so mad at me. But one good thing, they gave me hotel to stay as my transit was long. So I slept in the hotel. But early in the morning I got the call that my flight has changed and its 3 hours earlier than the posted time. I came to the airport. Then I had to take new boarding pass. But they never told me to do that. Wow to take the boarding pass I had to wait almost hour and half in the queue. So I finally got the boarding pass and get boarded in the plane. When I landed Kathmandu my luggage didn't came. I received my baggage after almost 10 hours later.

While returning there were 15 people who have been in flight with me from KTM to dallas. Nobody got their luggage. Our luggage didn't even came to the Paris. I finally got my luggage almost after a week.

So summary of this story is:

1. If you put any electronic instrument(except pen drive) in your luggage then you will never get your luggage. If there is laptop in your luggage then your luggage will be lost 99%. There is just 1% chance that you will get your luggage.

2. If your luggage do not have electronic then you will get your luggage after a day or two.

So dont fly with Gulf air.
