My friend they pushed his flight back 1 hour ahead without telling him. He ended up missing flight. My other friend had a confirmed booking with a seat number and they forced him to pay $100 extra for changing the booking date which he hadn't. They refused to let him on the plane unless he paid so he had to. Another friend who was pregnant arrived at the planes departure gate but they wouldn't let her onboard because she was a minute late (they told her because she was 1 minute late she couldn't get onboard). She told them they didn't announce a final call or anything they didn't care. They then made her wait outside the gate for 20 minutes until they could remove her bag from the plane. Another friend arrived to the airport 15 minutes before the final check in time. He waited in line and by the time he got to the check in counter they told him he couldn't check in cuz he was a minute late. He told them he wasn't late but they were slow and he had been waiting in line patiently. They refused to let him check in. My cousin they canceled his flight without telling him.

BUT today they canceled my mom flight Isfahan-Kuwait with no prior notice !! and when i called the call center here I couldnt get through the whole day. it was either busy or no one picks up. when I finly got through , the guy on phone said : " no mom, we were going to call all the travelers to tell them the flight is canclled and give them the option to chose other city or other date "! . the strange thing is that in Isfahan Airport they told my mom that this is 3rd week they are canceling the flight !! I guess Jazeera new policy is : sell the ticket, cancel the flight and then force the poor/ stuck travelers to chose from which ever date or which ever city is available. they will lose customers as fast as they gain them over the years. At least I know I will not chose them anymore when I find other option is avalible. I came back to take my words back ! so far I was OK with Jazeera airways since nothing horific happened to me .

(as a business traveler you should also get free drinks and additional food for free but I only recieved 1 free sandwich!!!) Also, when I arrived at Kuwait rather than having my luggage to come out first cuz I flew business class it arrived as one of the last pieces!!1 WTF? And their office was closed at mid-night.

In that case you don’t need to check baggage as you will have a Hand Bag and a Laptop maximum which means you are saving MONEY..from another hand 20 KG for 3 KD is really cheap. I just purchased a ticket KWT/BEIRUT/KUWAIT from 24th July to 28th July (HIGH SEASON I ASSUME) for a total cost of 43 KD – can MEA, Kuwait Airways and Wataniya Airways get even closer to this rate? Don’t think So… Hi All

However, I guess less pepole will fly Jazeera after this new arrangment ,specially that most of traveler on Jazeera have luggage . such as Egypt and India rout. PS . Mark , I sent you an email one week ago. did you see it ? well, to be fare to Aljazeera I would say that by adding separate charges for luggage and seat they are doing exactly what most of cheap airlines in Europe are doing.
