My experience with Jazeera was no good either.We travelled from Mumbai to Muscat vis Dubai where we had a transit of just over an hour in the morning of 3rd Aug 2007. They cancelled the connecting flight to Muscat & we were stuck up at Dubai Airport for 12hrs. The Jazeera ground staff was discorteous and we were left without a single drop of water to drink and no food. We had to virtually fight (verbal tiffs) with the Jazeera staff to get our lunch coupons for the waiting transit passengers.In the evening before we boarded the flight to Muscat we went to the Jazeera staff to make sure our baggages were boarded in the aircraft to which he reaffirmed us a number of times in the affirmative. Lo behold ! on our arrival at Seeb Int’l Airport at Muscat none of our baggages arrived. We have received 2 of our baggages till now in installments and 2 are still missing even after 8 days of our arrival in Muscat. I’ll never advise anybody to travel by Jazeera.

A bit of warning for travelers of jazeera Airways! I had the stupidity of traveling by this airline in July 2007.I have not seen any airline so traveler unfriendly.Even if you are three and travelling on normal fare, you can’t have anything more than 60kg (3*20kg) in your checked in luggage. Not even 1 Kg extra. So get the luggage checked with a precision meter!!! One bigger headache, even handbag and camera bag is considered as cabin luggage and you can carry only one per person. Thank goodness we had no umbrellas with us!!! Anyway I decided never ever to travel by this cheap airline.

Happened to me on Gulf and Kuwait airlines departing from London Heathrow for Bahrain and Doha respectively.

I guess its normal practice to do this.

Actually it never happened to me, even with Jazeera airways. But I was thinking that maybe they needed to use that same gate for a different aircraft which would be flying at almost the same time or a little after Jazeera’s flight

I don’t think it’s just the Jezeera Airways! It’s happened with me with British, Malev, Czech, Royal Jordan and FinnAir! They just want to make sure every one is ready to board because when they board only 30 mins before they get so delayed because some one has to smoke or finish thier coffee. You get my point??

[...] Pearls just posted about her experience with Jazeera Airways. She also had problems boarding the plane although her problems were worst then mine. I don’t think she will be flying Jazeera again. Check out her review on her site. [Link] Filed under: Kuwait, Information Posted by Mark on 01.06.07 | Related Entries [...]

hmmm, dude, I think we were in the same room together if we both left on the 27th morning!

We were so early that we were the first in the room and got seats at least!

“someone mentioned that u chose the cheap flight,, jazeera airways is one of the most expensive airways u can find if you’re booking at the same day of your flight”

Well that is the case with most low cost airlines. Ryanair has the same policy.

And even without all the frills, and even if you book 1 month in advance, they don’t work out that cheap either.
The listed ticked price looks attractive, but once you start adding up all the taxes, you will be better off with a local carrier.
