LarryInNYC asks about the Alitalia porgram as an option for crediting the dirt cheap Etihad fare. Etihad, after all, took a big stake in the airline .. because it’s apparently more important to funnel traffic through Abu Dhabi than to actually make money.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I just flew Gulf Air business class from London Heathrow to Bahrain. I've always been intrigued by Gulf Air, though due to their financial situation they seem to be on the decline, and are cutting routes rather than adding them.
That being said, they're an American AAdvantage partner airline, so I could fly on them between Europe and the Middle East in business class for just 30,000 American miles one-way.
Gulf Air operates two flights a day between London and Bahrain -- I took the daytime flight (departing at 9:30AM and arriving at 7PM), while they also have a redeye.
I figured I'd share my initial thoughts on the experience.
