Air Arabia

✅ Trip Verified | Flight was delayed from Doha with no reason given to passengers. However, afterwards passengers were informed this was due to weather. On return from Sharjah to Doha, in the month of Ramadan, music was played by the airline with Muslim passengers having to listen to the music. I was fed up of listening to a love song forever. Eventually after a passenger complained and it was turned down. We were informed it is computerised they can’t switch it off!

✅ Trip Verified | Irresponsible and careless handling of our belongings. They asked me to submit my baby stroller at the aircraft and so I did. However, the stroller that I got at my destination was completely broken.

✅ Trip Verified | Abu Dhabi to Cochin. The flight timings were great. We were traveling with twins who are one and half year old. One has to understand that traveling with small kids is not easy let alone with twins! Cabin staff first spoke to us rudely because we had left our folded prams on the tarmac as we didn’t have free hands to bring it up since the flight did not have an aero bridge but stairs. I respect rules but there is a manner to convey the message and it cannot be rude! I did not expect her to carry my bags/prams but I do expect some understanding and courtesy. Secondly, when I requested her to clear the food tray so that my toddler wouldn’t make a mess she seemed to have a problem with that too and was sulky when I insisted. Clearly she didn’t get the memo that in a service oriented industry customer is king I would give the person the benefit of doubt had she been new to this but she is the cabin manager and I expect better behavior from someone like that.

✅ Trip Verified | Air Arabia charged me the equivalent of 50 euros to put my carry-on bag under the seat. This was the same bag that Ryanair, EasyJet and Air Europa all allowed me to carry for free. Air Arabia's carry-on bag restrictions are ridiculous and when I questioned the check-in person, she told me that all airlines have their own restrictions and later that it was not her problem. I wrote to 'customer service' who simply told me that they suggest people limit the amount of carry-on they bring and refused my request to be reimbursed for a ridiculously small carry-on allowance. I got nothing I didn't get on the 3 other low-cost airlines I traveled with except a little green tag on my bag, indicating that I had been properly cheated & could therefore carry my bag on and place it under the seat in front of me, as I did with the 3 other low-cost airlines for free.

✅ Trip Verified | I am never flying with this airline again and never will recommend to anybody. I flew with Air Arabia the first time in 2017 and then I left my Pandora under my seat which I bought from Armenia on my way back to UAE. I called customer service several times but nobody was ever willing to help me and just simply said "We found nothing". So that's when I know this airline cannot be trusted or perhaps its crew. 2023 came and my friends decided to book with Air Arabia because it's cheaper so I had no choice but to go with them although I've already warned them how horrible the service of this airline is. We checked in online via the Air Arabia app and when we arrived at the airport, the online check in we did was actually useless as we still had to queue like the others who did not do the online one. They could've put up a separate counter for those who did the online check in like how we have in Dubai. Also, all the crew of this airline looks so evidently unhappy with their jobs that it is reflecting in their service. Getting inside the plane, nobody would even smile or even look at you. I asked a crew to help me put my luggage up the cabin as I am a little short to reach and she said, "You have to help me because I cannot put it up myself".

✅ Trip Verified | This review relates to my experiences using Air Arabia Maroc. The website is straight forward to use but I was later frustrated when the system would not allow me to check-in online. I flew from Tangier to Gatwick on 17th February 2023 and found the check-in agent to be friendly and efficient as well as polite and clearly a gifted linguist too! The check-in process was prompt as was the departure. It was reassuring to see that security was taken seriously and several checks took place before boarding. My only gripe was that no provision was made for elderly people, disabled passengers and those with babies to have priority boarding. Some passengers were allowed to take far too much hand luggage while others were strictly controlled. A lack of consistency was apparent. The cabin crew were efficient. Service was based on those who preordered items online. The staff then performed a purchase trolley service. This service was well organised. Full credit to the staff. The seats were comfortable and a route map was used on this A320. Disembarkation was a reasonable affair but the crew were not to be seen to say farewell the passengers and the captain did not make any announcement either. The fare was very similar to that charged by larger airlines. The departure and arrival time was convenient and so I would consider flying this airline again.

✅ Trip Verified | The check in counter staff were rude and slow, and whenever you ask them to hurry up because you're late to your flight they say you should've come earlier. Jeddah to Sharjah they forced me to pay for extra luggage for the handbag i came with from Sharjah to Jeddah. I came with this bag same bag, same weight, why you force me pay for it? Either you pay or you split the weight into two bags.

✅ Trip Verified | Had a really nice flight with Air Arabia. Great seat pitch, comfy seats and easy process all the way. Cabin was perfectly clean and crew sufficiently attentive. It was my first time on Air Arabia but it will not be the last

✅ Trip Verified | You have a great pilots, that's the only point where I may put 5*. Lets start: the crews are extremely poorly trained, turbulence doesn't give you an excuse to not serve ordered and prepaid lunch or at least to get that poor bottle of water, at least do it once landed. Connected flight...departing delay for almost an hour, crews are chatting, laughing - no one bothered to explain passengers what's happening, unless you ask, next: the passengers walking, standing for almost over an hour and talking loudly to friends or whatever - why are the crews quiet? Again lets go back to prepaid food allowance - why the sandwich was served frozen cold and the Bottle of water 200ml only? Oh these delays. Last year had the same experience, plane arriving late for an hour then definitely will depart with delay, spoiling passengers mood, can you think of those who has short time connecting flight later - why cannot you follow the time schedule. Why SHJ bus driver giving passengers instruction to leave hand luggage outside the plane under rain, my hand luggage bag suiting all the parameters and allowances, what was the bus drivers problem with it? Other luggage I received after a long wait - same Sharjah flight, was full of water inside and arrived unwrapped, can't imagine how did they kept throwing it as all new bottled stuff has been opened, absolutely every single tube opened and leaked out all the liquids. That WiFi even didn't work. $500 ++ ticket, disappointing experience!

✅ Trip Verified | I had a terrible experience with these guys. Flight came 4 hours due to medical emergency as they said we understood but they didn’t carry none of our luggage. Whole passengers arrived at destination without luggage. It took 3 days to get out luggage that too we were helped by our friends working in Abu Dhabi airport. No Air Arabia staff showed up or came for help. The only response was from call centres we called, they were asking to email Air Arabia but ended up receiving “your situation is handled”. Really disappointing service.
