Nightmare

Traveling with Gulf Air is!

my original route is Amman - Bahrain - muscat - Bahrain
scheduled
departure time is 3:30 arrival at Bahrain at 5:30
departure from Bahrain to Muscat 8:30 arrival in Muscat 10:30

Actual

Departure time was 11:20 PM arriving in Bahrain at 1:45 AM this morning.
re-scheduled departure to Muscat at 8:45 Am this morning ... Actual (we'll see)

I need to be at a meeting at 1 PM in Muscat, then I shall return to Bahrain the same day in the evening

After arrival, they gave me a voucher for a 3-star hotel, could not leave the Airport because I already have a visa in Bahrain, and if I use it, I cannot come back to Bahrain this evening!!

The only solution: Stay at Bahrain Airport until 8:45 morning .. Say what??

well, this is probably going to be my fifth all-nighter at an airport, but the first time in Bahrain!
Anyway, after some argument with the so-called "Gulf Air Customer Care Center," I found my way to the business lounge where I could find a couch and a clean bathroom.

Anyway, tomorrow is not going to be a day for rest either!

I cannot say there is a lesson to learn (which is never travel with Gulf Air) because this is something l learned before! however, each time I say to myself, give them one more chance. Additionally, RJ timing to the Gulf region is not helping either
