Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier has introduced a new, convenient option for UK travellers seeking to fly to Singapore. As of October 27, 2024, the airline will offer daily flights from Bahrain to Singapore opening up new travel opportunities for passengers flying from London Heathrow and Manchester Airport. With the growing demand for connections between the UK and Southeast Asia, this development will enhance travel flexibility while providing affordable options for business and leisure travellers.
UK passengers will be able to fly from London Heathrow or Manchester to Singapore with easy stopovers in Bahrain aboard Gulf Air’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The aircraft includes a 26-seat Falcon Gold Class cabin and a 256-seat economy cabin. Falcon gold passengers can benefit from fully flat beds, a 22-inch entertainment screen, privacy dividers and onboard Wi-Fi. The economy class offers a generous 32-inch seat pitch as well as an 11-inch entertainment system and at-seat power. This ensures that customers regardless of the cabin they choose will enjoy a comfortable flying experience. Joanna Patterson, Director of Sales for Gulf Air, said:
“UK travellers now have a great-value, easy option for accessing Singapore, via our Bahrain hub. This new daily route expands our commitment to the Southeast Asian market and is a key step in our global network expansion strategy. Singapore is a vibrant hub for business and tourism, and we’re thrilled to offer UK travellers greater access to this renowned destination.”
In addition, Gulf Air’s commitment to offering great value is apparent in its competitive pricing for flights from the UK to Singapore. Passengers flying from London -Heathrow can book fares starting at £541 in Economy and £2,028 in Falcon Gold Class. More particularly, flights will depart daily at 9:30 am from Heathrow and arrive in Singapore the next day at 12:30 p.m. For Manchester travellers, prices fluctuate at £556 for the economy and £2033 for Falcon Gold, with flights operating five times weekly. Thus, this offers important flexibility for business and leisure travellers eager to explore the vibrant city of Singapore or connect to other Southeast Asian destinations.
Since its launch in 2021, the Singapore route has been a key part of Gulf Air’s network highlighting the city-state’s status as a global hub for business and tourism. Singapore known for its thriving economy, diverse culture and innovative infrastructure attracts millions of passengers annually, offering a unique experience of modern attractions and tradition. Consequently, the addition of daily flights will elevate the destination’s appeal and accommodate a broader range of travellers.
