Bahrain, Manama: Gulf Air has introduced “Fly Drive Packages” in Europe for the summer, which provides the best value for money option for holiday makers since the Gulf Air Holidays Experience theme was launched two years ago.
These great value deals, which include flights with Gulf Air to France, Germany or the UK, allow one person to book a package for a minimum of three days.
If a second person is added, each person pays the same price, but the package includes an additional three days car hire.
Fly Drive in Europe packages are available for a maximum of seven passengers for up to 12 days, dependant on the car type the passenger chooses.
“The response to our Fly Drive in Europe promotion has been tremendous,” said Gulf Air Holidays manager Jon Barnett.
“This promotion allows our customers to enjoy their holidays without the hassle of negotiating with car rental agencies, all of this at a price that provides incredible cumulative savings.
“Even more important is the fact that our World Wide Contact Centre (WWCC), which can be called toll free from Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman, has a team of dedicated and specially trained Gulf Air Holidays reservations agents who tailor-make packages to suit all needs and budgets.”
The Fly Drive in Europe has been priced to attract families, or individual holiday makers.
Prices for the Fly Drive in Europe start at:
From Bahrain from BD290 per person From Oman from OMR290 per person
From UAE from AED3135 per person From Kuwait from KWD205 per person
From Qatar from QR2900 per person From Damman from SAR2450 per person
From Jeddah from SAR3505 per person From Riyadh from SAR2450 per person
These prices are valid until 31 October 2005
“The pricing is very competitive giving our customers a never to forget experience for prices they will always remember,” said Mr Barnett.
