Gulf Air offers extra baggage allowance for university students

Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, has enhanced the baggage allowance for all college and university students with an additional free of charge 23 kg bag.

The new baggage allowance is applicable to all undergraduate and postgraduate students holding a valid college or university student ID card and flying between any points within the airline’s global network.

“This is a great bonus for all our student passengers," said Krešimir Kučko, Gulf Air CEO.

He added: “We know that students need more luggage to carry their books, laptops, winter clothes and so on. It is always a hassle for students to carefully pack their items when travelling for the academic year. Now, we want to make things easier for all students by allowing one extra bag of 23 kilos for each student flying to college or returning home for the summer."

Earlier this year Gulf Air increased the baggage allowance for athletes allowing them to travel with their golf bags or bicycles free of charge to promote a healthy lifestyle amongst its passengers. - TradeArabia News Service
