Thanks again
Thank you all again for your help. My mother found the hotel with the help of the transfer desk and had a very nice day in Bahrain. After a business class trip to Las Vegas over Christmas and now this business class trip to Oz and back she has assured me that she will never travel "cattle class" as she puts it, ever again. So, there goes her kid's inheritance alright.
You may be interested to know she travelled to Las Vegas with Maxjet and was impressed with the seating, service and help given by the staff. She travelled with Gulf Air to Sydney, (and of course will return with them in a months time), and she is over the moon with the quality of business class with that airline.
One word of warning to you all however. She says on the Bahrain - Singapore sector there was a young man seated next to her who started snoring. It would appear he was poked and woken by her and told in no uncertain terms she had not paid £1742 to listen to him snoring. She leaves SYD on the 28th March. You have been warned!
