Gulf Air FFP is the loyalty program of the principal flag carrier of Bahrain. To avail of Gulf Airs frequent flyer program, one just has to fill out the FFP online application form at the airline's official website. A member earns miles as well as loyalty points each time one flies with Gulf Air.

The number of points earned depends on the route and flight class. Members can also earn miles from partner airlines, hotels and car rental companies.
