Still not a direct flight from Bahrain to the USA. Wandering around Kuwait or London waiting for a connection, not really a hard decision to make ...

I read somewhere (Bahrain Airport marketing blurb maybe) that an average of 186 pax transit Bahrain on a daily basis going to USA, enough for a direct flight ???
