Wataniya Airways Seats

Some of you requested pictures of the seats, I took some shots today on my way back. The one above is of the first class seats while the one below is of the premium economy seats. Also below is a picture showing the amount of legroom in the economy class. I am 1.86m and as you can see there was plenty of room for my legs. Also the economy class seats have power sockets.

    Seems pretty good! Thats you sitting in the economy seat, correct?

    Hmm impressive legroom but wheres the power outlet ? in the arm rests ?

  12. 12. Mark | February 4th, 2009 at 8:35 am

    Aziz: You must know your bags
    Marzouq: Yup thats economy class legroom
    Mathai: The power outlet is on the pillar of the seat, so its next to my left leg in the picture above

  13. 13. Aziz | February 4th, 2009 at 9:07 am

    Not really. I’m just a HUGE fan of Paul Smith! All his designs are classic but different/unique which I simply LOVE!!! If only I was a millionaire…. :(

  14. 14. Mark | February 4th, 2009 at 9:33 am

    Yeah actually the bag i have, each one is different. Trying to find the picture online, this is the best i could find:

    Its the one on the first row, right hand side.

  15. 15. Aziz | February 4th, 2009 at 9:47 am

    Ya I’ve seen it a few times on the Paul Smith website, but you can’t right now because it’s sold out or not manufactured anymore. Who knows? *shrugs*

  16. 16. Mark | February 4th, 2009 at 9:48 am

    Yeah i checked their site and only found the other range of bags in this series, not the same messenger bag i have.

  17. 17. Aziz | February 4th, 2009 at 9:53 am

    All messenger bags seem to be sold out actually! People must be ordering them like crazy! Hahah!

  18. 18. flyDubai with Jazira | February 4th, 2009 at 10:07 am

    Do tell me now Wataniya are in negotiation to secure landing rights at Makhtoum Terminal 3 at Dubai International! That will be the cherry on the cake, really.

    Thats sad! How the first class seats are being advertised here! I mean with all the airline companies showing off their first class seats! tsk tsk tsk!

    I mean come on… if those seat were to be advertised years back, then maybe! But come on! Has anyone seen all other airlines first class seats (excluding KA and Jazeera of course)!

    And you call it premium airline! Interesting!

    On the other hand… the services offered are awesome, brilliant! Amazing and innovative.. I suggest they focus on those rather than advertising their comfy-first class seats!

  20. 20. Mark | February 4th, 2009 at 10:19 am

    Sam, two things:

    1) The seats aren’t being advertised here
    2) The first class seats you’re talking about are for long haul flights, ie: sleeper beds, private cabins etc.. You need to compare these seats to the ones on short haul flights.

    Now if only Emirates can be more like Wataniya!

  22. 22. Pyyth4 | February 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm

    Was the connection mode on your phone 3g when you were in the aircraft?

  23. 23. azizbrown | February 5th, 2009 at 12:25 pm

    Aziz: are u gay? having a bag fetish..

  24. 24. Aziz | February 5th, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    Wtf???????

  25. 25. Mark My Words | February 5th, 2009 at 1:58 pm

    I am presuming Wataniya would be offering first class passengers complimentary limousine service for airport drop and pick-up both in Kuwait and the destinations it will service. Pl. confirm

  26. 26. Anon | February 5th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

    yes they have complimentary limo service for first class passengers

  27. 27. Ahmed | February 5th, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    i am frequent flyer of emirates , and frankly the quality of items served in wataniya are better. the hot towels are of high quality and have a pleasant rose smell. Never seen this in any airline.
    I guess this is a good example for KU to learn.

    Mark

    Kuwait Airways offer sleeper seats on their first class seats on flights on dubai via the A300. Wataniya Airways disappointed me for not having sleeper seats like Kuwait airways :(
