Question
I am an Indian citizen holding us green card,travelling from Cochin(INDIA) to USA via Bahrain & Frankfurt on Gulf Air and Delta
My arrival time in Bahrain is 5.50am and the departure time to frankfrut is 1.50am on the next day. That is almost 20hour layover in bahrain. There is a flight inbetween at 16.40pm. There was no seat availability at the time of booking on that flight.
Do Gulf Air provide hotel accomodation in Bahrain? If not, can I take a hotel reservation when I book the ticket? Please advise.

Answer
Dear Aji,

The way the booking was made, does not guarantee that the airline should be responsible for the overnight accomodation.

You must provide your own hotel accomodations. Gulf Air or your travel ageent could help you on that.

Best Regards,
R. Gomes
