I flew BAH/DOH/BAH on an A319 (A9U-EU both sectors) today. Both flights were full in Y and surprisingly only 5% were transfer pax.
Both flights left on time and the snack box was handed out before take off.
Good flights but aircraft could do with a bit of a clean as the backs of both seats I sat in were grubby underneath the tray table and were covered in food.
Doha immigration was a disaster both in and out whereby Bahrain was very smooth with the usual 'You're welcome Sir'.
I still think that Bahrain is the best hub & transit point in ME, I know GF has it's problems but I'm not changing ...
