Before you book
- 2 separate tickets. Each stands on its own: if one is delayed, changed or cancelled, the airline on the other ticket doesn’t have to rebook or help you. Bags and check-in are handled ticket by ticket.
- Separate tickets, self-transfer: if ticket 1 is delayed or cancelled, the Gulf Air ticket is not protected or rebooked for you.
- Bags are not carried through: collect and re-check them in Manila. The economy ticket includes no checked bag.
- Philippines: you enter the Philippines in Manila to re-check (visa-free for Australians up to 30 days; register on eTravel before arrival). Low-cost and full-service flights may use different Manila terminals.
- Bahrain: same-ticket connection; check Bahrain transit rules for your passport.
- Schengen area: check EES/ETIAS entry requirements for your passport at time of travel.
- 2027 times may change: confirm at booking and recheck the self-transfer.
- Check entry and transit rules for every stop for your passport.

These are separate tickets. If your first flight is late, the airline on the next ticket generally doesn't have to rebook you.
4 more checks are summarised above but not explained here. The full Hack Shield checklist, with bags, entry rules, waits and what to do if your first flight is late, is part of Pro.
Hack Shield is general information based on the flight times we hold. It is not a guarantee, travel advice or insurance, and Kaviqa does not check visa or entry rules for you.
