How online check-in works
Online check-in with Gulf Air is free and available 24 hours until 90 minutes before your departure. This service is accessible via the airline's website, requiring only your booking reference, last name, and departure airport.
For passengers travelling from Bahrain to any Gulf Air destination (except London), an additional convenience applies: you may check in with baggage up to 24 hours before departure at the airport, combining early check-in with baggage drop-off.
