Comments on: Jazeera Airways – My Experience http://www.248am.com/mark/kuwait/jazeera-airways-my-experience/ A blog by Mark and Nat, a married couple who are living in Kuwait. Mark works in Advertising while Nat works in TV. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:16:53 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Mohammed http://www.248am.com/mark/kuwait/jazeera-airways-my-experience/#comment-467530 Mohammed Sun, 05 Jul 2009 07:36:38 +0000 http://www.248am.com/?p=1244#comment-467530 I had the same feeling about them and liked the level of serves provided but after three years of this post I have to say that it’s turned into trash and going down. And to prove that try calling them on 177 or 22248940 so called call center. Or find a staff those smiles at you. I was so happy to know that they offer cargo serves so I contacted the cargo personal and asked him to send me the shipping cost for my bike to Turkey. That was on 16 jun 09 and till today No reply. I guess the company doesn’t care about us any more or getting qualified staff.

I booked the tickets back in October before Jazeera started its first flight so no one knew how they would turn out to be. So far I have heard a lot of positive reviews on Jazeera. I heard the service is friendly, the planes are very clean, the seats are all leather and the in flight food being great. I also heard one negative review which I believe is just a rumor or urban legend. I heard that a lot of people are getting to the airport and finding their seats canceled. I doubt that is true and the person who told me it didn’t fly on Jazeera and just heard it off someone else. Anyway I will write up a short review once I get to Lebanon and post it online.

It took me 1.30 minutes to leave the airport and I am a GCC citizen. The airport is tiny, congested, with few immigration officers, and ONE baggage belt!! I see no reason why I should fly to Sharjah, go through that experience again (which was horrible), and get in a cab for 30 minutes (no rush hour), only to get to Dubai. Any airline flying direct Kuwait to Dubai is better than Air Arabia's sharjah landing. Vinod,

You take three peoples family that is saving of KD 60 for a family. I dont think Jazeera is low cost any ways besides that fact it takes 1 hour to get out of Dubai airport than 10 minues from Sharjah Airport and during EID their prices are more than Kuwait Airways Even Kuwait Airways is better than Jazeera where price is concerned for period 5NOV-5DEC where thay have 50% discount. However for a lot of people i know Air Arabia has been offering low prices round the year . That is commitment for affordable travel Sharjah return is KD 46 return vs Jazeera KD 66 .

Air Arabia you have to stop at sharjah first which means your 2 hour flight turns to a 5 hour one. I would rather pay KD2 extra then to spend an extra 3 hours on the plane. all of jazeera flights are direct btw unlike air arabia.

I use it quite often. Cost of Ticket Kuwait-Lebanon is KD 28 oneway. Currently they are on winter sale with Kuwait-Sharjah KD 12 and other destinations like Luxor, Damascus, Nagpur, Alexandria, Colombo Sharjah is 15 minutes drive to Dubai. They have around 20 destinations already. Now thats a bargain !! www.airarabia.com Try Air Arabia. I use it quite often. Cost of Ticket Kuwait-Lebanon is KD 28 oneway.

Not anywhere either, certain desitinations. The way alot of these low cost carriers in Europe work is that they will fly you to peripheral airports, not London Heathrow, or Gatwick, but maybe Stanstead or London City airport etc... thats how they also keep their fixed costs down as it costs shitloads to obtain landing slots at Heathrow or any of the major hubs. Easyjet serve alcohol, i doubt Al Jazeera will... just BYO From the UK to Europe, hehe they dont fly outside of Europe yet. Not anywhere either, certain desitinations.
