Gulf Air announces new frequent flyer partnership with Harbour3Sixty
National carrier Gulf Air's popular frequent flyer programme has added one more benefit to its FFP members.

The airline has joined hands in a new agreement with Harbour3Sixty to offer its FFP members another opportunity to earn more files when they rent office space at H3sixty - the contemporary boutique business centre in the heart of Bahrain's business district, the Bahrain Financial Harbour.

Gulf Air's FFP members can earn up to 500 miles per day up to one week at the Silver, Gold and Platinum office levels, with various other leases available that offer a different set of miles which can be earned when renting each office area.

Mr. Jon Barnett, Acting Director of Marketing, Product and Loyalty, said, "We are delighted to announce our new partnership with H3Sixty. This is one more incentive from our suite of services we offer to our FFP business travelers while renting offices from H3sixty."

The business centre is one of the most recent developments in the Financial Harbour, offering contemporary office space designed to cater to the business needs of prospective investors enhancing the image of 'business friendly' Bahrain, keeping in perspective such investments that will further boost our economy.

He added, "In fact, our frequent flyers travelling in Gulf Air's premium cabin 'Falcon Gold' are generously rewarded; members travelling on the most flexible Falcon Gold ticket can earn double miles, and 140% when travelling on a restricted Falcon Gold fare. Moreover, Silver and Gold members can earn additional tier bonuses at 25% and 50% respectively."

Added Mr. Zeid Zu'bi, Chief Executive Officer of H3Sixty, "We are glad to have secured this partnership with Bahrain's national carrier, which operates the largest network in the Middle East that would help us reach our clients in the region even better."

"With flexible lease terms and a full range of the latest telecom and IT access solutions offering instant connectivity and technology support including conference and meeting room facilities, business lounges and signature revival suites for relaxation and rejuvenation, I am sure our newest facility will be a hit among Gulf Air FFP members. Besides, our world-class business centre is an open platform to network and do events in a relaxed atmosphere whether it's exclusively for work, meetings or training purposes," concluded Mr. Zu'bi

At the Virtual and Silver office levels, the amenities available range from complimentary internet with the latest IT solutions and technology support to a 10% discount on meeting rooms. Flexible lease terms also allow the centre's facilities to be rented from a daily to a yearly basis.

Gulf Air's frequent flyer miles are awarded based on the booking class and the number of miles flown, which are listed alongside the loyalty points on the member's account; these miles can be redeemed at anytime. The airline offers one of the best loyalty programmes with benefits that include an extended mile-life of 10 years, excess baggage allowance, priority check-in, priority baggage handling as well as priority wait listing, if flights are full.

H3Sixty is located on the 11th floor of the Bahrain Financial Harbour, East Tower.
