“Deceiving marketing”
Reviewed yesterday
NEW

I was deceived at so many levels following my travel with Air Arabia. First they displayed an attractive price and as soon as I logged in to make my booking they doubled the price ... I tried so many times to report to their official contacts, it was tough to get in touch with an agent & when I finally...

“Price / value was good”
Reviewed 3 days ago
NEW

This is a low-cost airline with reduced service. I certainly did not expect an equal experience as the experience other airlines offer in their business class. Here, my seat was clean, comfy, the flight departed and arrived as scheduled, legroom was ok, the flight attendants did their job, no in-seat TV (similar to Easy Jet and Ryanair) my checked suitcase...

“On Time and within your budget”

The airline is the first choice for a low budget UAE based airline. Usually quick and do not expect any frills. You get what you pay for.

“If you are over 25 do not try this airline”
Reviewed 5 days ago
NEW

The flight horribleness started at check in. For the first time in my life I had to queue for 2 hours. Every traveler's name was checked "manually", so, sometimes it took half an hour for a whole family to finish the check in process. The flight was delayed three times with a total of 3 hours late. The plane and...

“Average Low-Cost Carrier”
Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I tried few low cost carriers in the past months and I would say Air Arabia is an average one. Seats are sufficiently comfortable, even though you may suffer if you are taller than 180 cm as I am, because the leg room is minimal. Food on board is alright, even though I would recommend to eat at the airport...

“The worst airline to travel in”
Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Took a flight from Jaipur to Nairobi (Flight No.G9-436). When we were at the counter, we were told that we haven't clicked 'yes' on the 'Check-in' baggage for the flight. What the hell? I was never asked for any check-in baggage for the flight. And why do we need to. Charge us if we are carrying more than the allowed...

“Great value for less money!”
Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Very predictable & straightforward site, simple ticket purchasing procedure with full range of flight arrangements (except in-flight entertainment), including option to pay by cash. Mostly, no problem with seat availability. Pretty fresh fleet, consisting of Airbuses only, purchased from new. Predominantly quite clean, especially considering not really posh destinations they fly. Most of the cabin crew are multilingual & quite...
