Hi sunhat

Takes approx 6.5hrs to get to Bahrain and you are there about 1 hr but it does take a while to walk to duty free (and smoking) area, you have to you through security check so if you at back of plane it does take up shopping time

Hope this helps

Hi sunhat,

As some people have suggested it might pay you to compare prices with bahrain and goa before you buy in bahrain as i take it you will be stopping in bahrain on the way back. :roll:

Hi Sunbeame

Its approx 3.5hrs from Bahrain. Regarding stopping on the way back I dont think you will, we flow Sat from Man and was told on the air plane to buy goods etc on the way out as the return flight landed in Cyprus and unfortunately you dont get off the plane, we had 1.5hrs on tarmac which wasnt much fun

Have a great time.

Actual shopping time in Bahrain on the way out is about 30 mins, on the way back it's about 35 as the plane goes to a pier nearer the shops!

barhain stop

We always take some small denomination U.S.$ as you usually get your change in Barhain coins and a dollar is less than a pound also most of the goods are also priced in U.S. as well as Barhain dollars Alan
