Bahrain's Gulf Air has announced a discount of up to 40% on pre-paid extra baggage for bookings made during January 2026, as part of its efforts to provide more flexible and better-value travel options for travellers during the school holiday period and peak travel demand.
A press release published on the airline's website explained that the discount covers the purchase of extra baggage allowance via Gulf Air's official channels, provided the purchase is completed at least 24 hours before departure.
The airline continues to offer varied baggage allowances according to travel class, with Economy Class travellers receiving 25, 30 or 35 kg, while Business Class travellers receive a baggage allowance of 45 or 55 kg, in addition to an extra free 5 kg when booking directly via the website gulfair.com.
For his part, Christopher Benyon, Gulf Air's Senior Manager of Revenue Management, explained that the pre-paid extra baggage offer comes as part of the airline's commitment to providing practical, value-added travel solutions, especially during peak seasons.
He added that encouraging travellers to plan ahead and use official direct channels helps make the travel experience easier and gives travellers greater flexibility in managing their needs before the flight.
