Traveller Comments....
"No seats, shouting, pushing, shoving - worse even than the China-HK border on Christmas Day." (krys_k)
"we went straight to the pub which is without a doubt the best place to relax in this airport. It is behind a non-de script unmarked door(there are no signs that say, "the bar is this way" in a muslim country)." (?)
"Whenever at Bahrain airport you will encounter droves of either overly excited Indian screaming as their friends/relatives arrive or witness overall emotional good byes. (Adrian Newark)
"The place gets filled with Bandladeshis (I actually witnessed a 16 seater van filled up arriving just to greet one person) - surejb

This is the last place in the GCC which is not all bling (...read DUBAI)or just too drab to be from this millenium. Just no nonsense airport, check in, usual duty free...and nice bar and no walking 15km to get on and off a plane....
That said, this place has no sleeping options.the seats are hard plastic slippery things, you feel like you're sitting on one of 'em playgrund slides. Then the place gets filled with Bangladeshis(I actually witnessed a 16 seater van filled up arriving just to recieve one person. ) Pakistanis Indians and Philipinos...there is no way you can find a place to sit, lest strtch out whne the flights from kochi or karachi come in.
Its in the news they are going to build one new terminal...until then, i would rather sleep at a hotel than 'stand' out the night at Bah. Intl
