The offer includes an increased 40% discount on prepaid extra baggage for bookings made throughout January 2026, helping passengers plan their journeys effectively.
The discount is available to all Gulf Air passengers, provided that additional baggage is purchased through Gulf Air’s official channels at least 24 hours before departure.
