Members of Gulf Air Frequent flyer can now redeem their miles without having to wait 24 hours. You can redeem your miles for free flights or flight upgrades from either local Gulf Air offices or through the Worldwide Contact Centre under “Quick Redemption” for any flights open for sale in the system. The normal service charge/fees still apply. Gulf Air FFP members can now also redeem their miles for upgrade awards from lower fare classes: E, O, V, U, Q and N. Formerly, an upgrade was possible only on tickets booked in higher classes only: Y, H, K, M or L. But when booking at the new lower classes available for an upgrade, members must redeem 150 percent of the normal miles required.
