Escort requests - minors

Children between the ages of two and four, inclusive, travelling on Gulf Air must be accompanied and looked after by a pre-arranged Flight Attendant escort (at their guardian's cost). Free crew escorts for children of five years and over who are travelling alone may be requested, but are not guaranteed.

Unaccompanied Minors are accepted for Gulf Air flights on the basis they have purchased either a full adult normal fare ticket (excluding industry discounts, promotional fares and special offers) or an Unaccompanied Child ticket (where applicable).
