By offering these promotional fares we would like to make their travel and vacation more affordable and enjoyable. We invite all our customers to take advantage of these fantastic value-for-moneydeals during this Ramadan campaign." One of the attractive features of the promotion is the extended travel period; unlike other such promotions that usually allow a very limited travel period, our promotion allows customers to travel up to October 2012, giving our varied customer-segments added convenience of longer travel period.We hope our customers will find this great offer irresistible and enjoy Gulf Air's brand new fleet and its enhanced products and services."
