NEVER CHECK YOUR BAGS AT GULF AIR!!! THEY LOST MY BAG THAT WAS WORTH A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS. IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 WEEK AND NO ONE HAS EVEN CALLED ME. WHEN I TRY TO CALL THEM THE PHONE IS EITHER BUSY OR NO ONE ANSWERS. I HAVE TALKED TO A SECRETARY BUT SHE WON'T LET ME TALK TO A MANAGER. I EVEN WENT TO THE AIRPORT MANY TIMES AND NO ONE IS EVER THERE THEY ARE ALWAYS ON BREAK OR OUT. I AM NOW HEARING THAT IF MY BAG IS REALLY LOST I WILL ONLY GET $400 HAHA THE BAG WAS WORTH THAT MUCH! PLEASE I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE SO DON'T FLY GULF AIR!!! DOES ANYONE KNOW A GOOD LAWYER???

I heard you get a BJ 50 QR apiece onboard? Don't tell me I was misinformed.

Ok of course I reported it after it was gone. I had two other bags that made it safely. That's how I know it was not LOST but STOLEN since it had many expensive things inside. Oh yea and it was during EID just after the Holy Month of Ramadan. It has now been almost 21 days (the point where it is declared lost). Their website is a joke and their customer service is sh*t!!! In the US they give up to $3,000 for a single bag and here maximum $400. I can't believe it. I have had my bad lost for a few days but never stolen. DONT FLY GULF AIR or at least don't check your bag I wish this upon no one.

Go to their website and file a complaint against the missing thing and even about the behavior of the secretary.

how much is your bag

Sometimes they offload luggage due to overloading. They normally send it after a day or two. And they deliver it at your door. All you have to do is preserve your baggage tag and notify the airline.

If something lost at the time of fly, you should report it at the spot and not after a week, on fone!! Why dont you check there in the Lost and Found section, may be its there waiting for you without any tag on that???

I hope you do realise that they are not the first airline in the world to lose a bag.
