Thanks for the review. I have been flying with air Arabia maybe since 2004 (almost 20 yeaes) for hundreds of times. I was Never disappointed. Air Arabia has other hubs in Morocco, Egypt and maybe Jordan. Sabiha airport has sleeping cubicles which was reasonably priced.
I call Air Arabia a "clutch airline", I fly from Dubai to Beirut since 2001 80% of the time on Emirates but whenever Emirates is fully booked or excessively expensive, I always go for Arabia. It's extremely comfortable in terms of legroom and cushioning (at par with Emirates IMO), no bullshit, no huge lines, good and professional service, I would 100% recommend them over FlyDubai if you're looking for a cheaper alternative than Emirates or Etihad. Specifically to Beirut, as it mostly lands alone with no other flights landing at the same time. Only 3 downsides are the lack of infotainment (which isn't a huge issue if you have Netflix on your phone), no power plugs, and the fact that Sharjah/Abu Dhabi airports are far from Dubai.
I think Air Arabia is an excellent low cost budget airline. The fact that it offers Wifi, Live Streaming entertainment and meals for purchase means that it can be an extremely enjoyable airline to fly with. I think it compares extremely well with other low cost airlines !
Can you eat your own food though? Like a sandwich bought in airport The streaming + reasonable price onboard put it way above most LCC. Norse is charging US$30 for meal I think
I have 10 hours to kill on a stopover at SAW next month. I have a Revolut (Dragon?) lounge pass. I understand there are 3 lounges, so I guess I'm going to find out whether I'm able to use them all on the same layover. Does anyone know? It's as much to do with the wifi as anything else. I'm on Pegasus for both legs. They're fine. I don't expect luxury for the prices I pay.
I’m flying to Morocco next week, and they don’t even allow cabin bags on the plane. I’m forced to only bring a small personal bag. I never travel with checked in bags. The phone number on their website does not exist, and the chat is just a bot
Same when I flew Pegasus, a low cost airline in Turkey that I never heard until I flew from Zurich to Istanbul (SAW) almost 2 weeks ago, flight is good and okay, they have wifi for streaming entertainment and TV on your phone and tablet, but can't access the internet.
Hats off Jack, the production quality of your airline reviews is outstanding!
Thanks!

Good Review. Your narration is very easy to understand. Thank you 😊

Thanks!

Meals are cheap too

I thought they offered 81” - which would be extraordinary Legroom even for a legacy carrier…how much did this (old looking) airbus actually offer?

You’re allowed to get a checked in bag if you buy the better ticket, or if you pay at check in.
@@Sarvooshka I don't like travelling with checked in bags. I prefer cabin bags (Those above your head)
I'm flying to morocco next week too i got the 3d option and is says i have 10kg 20kg and a bag

For $115, this flight was a bargain.
No beer with your lunch only means you can have two when you land.
The price was indeed very good.
Is your flight’s aircraft type sharklet or 320?
Turkish low cost carrier looks very similar to Cathay
It seems a lot better than Lufthansa‘s short haul flight :-)
Certainly comparable;)
Does Air Arabia have wifi?
Nope.
Oh, okay.
they do
i have flown in air arabia and they have a pamflet for instructions to get wifi
Not on this flight. The streaming worked well but you couldn't connect to Wifi.
Same when I flew Pegasus, a low cost airline in Turkey that I never heard until I flew from Zurich to Istanbul (SAW) almost 2 weeks ago, flight is good and okay, they have wifi for streaming entertainment and TV on your phone and tablet, but can't access the internet.
The worst ever
Why?
