Gulf Air currently has three types of first class seat.

1. On the A330-200 'Sleeper" aircraft, there are only eight seats in a 1-2-1 configuration (A - E,F - K). They have an 80-inch pitch, a 180-degree recline and are 25-inches wide. Known as the Class 180 seat (because it reclines fully flat, or 180 degrees), the seat transforms into a full-size bed covered with fitted cotton sheets, over-size pillows and duvets. Passengers are also offered pyjamas and there are changing room facilities and a suit pack to store your day clothes.

The cabin is in a 1-2-1 configuration, so there is plenty of space and privacy. Seats are made of New Zealand wood with a leather finish and are draped with silk cushions. Special electrical features include a backrest, lumbar support, leg rest and leg rest extension. Each seat is fitted with a monitor showing 21 audio and video channels, Airshow, Camera Views, PC power points and a personal telephone. Toiletries are from Temple Spa.
