Another great flight in Gulf Air BC (Apex Suites). This review is for the second leg to London and sitting in 3A. I should have picked 4A actually as 3A and 3K on the right have only two windows although the nearest on is directly next to your head so was not a big deal. Seats go full flat but I only wanted it to be a good recline as only snoozing/resting. PJ's were offered (to my surprise as the flight was daytime) and Champagne and hot/cold towels served on boarding plus dates and Arabic coffee. Crew were very pleasant and attentive and I enjoyed the main meal service. The pre-landing 'afternoon tea' thing was a bit of an after-thought in my view. Its served off a cart and you are just handed a single plate with cakes and sarnies. No tablecloth or much else but better than nothing I suppose. All in all a good 9/10 score for this one and look foreyard to flying Gulf again soon.

PS - I rated 'Entertainment as average as you have to give a score but I didn't use it (only had the map on screen).
