Gulf Air offers golfers extra baggage allowance

Manama,Apr.9 (BNA): Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, in a move to facilitate travel to golfers around its global network, has enhanced its baggage allowance for golf players to include one golf bag over and above their baggage allowance. The new policy has been introduced in response to an increasing demand from golfers who fly to attend various golf events within the global Gulf Air network. Gulf Air’s Chief Executive Officer Krešimir Kučko said: "Gulf Air is happy to further enhance its baggage policy to make it easier for our passengers who travel with their golf equipment. With our expanding network and appealing frequencies, many golfers prefer to fly with us to attend golf events and tournaments regionally and globally and now it’s time to reward them with additional complimentary baggage allowance". The new baggage allowance covers one golf bag containing one set of clubs, balls, one pair of golf shoes and one umbrella, which all must be held within a purpose-designed golf travel bag weighing 15 kilograms or less.
