not joining as a pilot...sorry to not clarify that...am joining the Route Network Planning Department
I have been to BAH 4 times in the past 2 years for work...stayed at Gulf Hotel, Golden Tulip and the Novotel Al Thana Resort. Favorite amongst these was the Gulf Hotel without a doubt
For banking purposes, I'm going to stick with HSBC as they have a solid worldwide reputation so am more comfortable dealing with them...what do you all think
BA tkt is now confirmed and am looking fwd to it as its my first long haul trip with them. B 777-200ER YYZ-LHR and then after a nice 4 hour transit at LHR, taking a B 747-400 LHR-BAH. Flying in World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) cabin.
I suggest you to invest 1 BD and buy the local newspaper Gulf Daily where you can find plenty informations about real estate. There are few canadians in Gulf Air and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy The Kingdom.
I have already short listed 5 condos in Juffair area from this website:
