"Worst airline I have ever flown"

(Kuwait)

Not Verified | Worst airline I have ever flown with in my life, where do I start? We were treated like cattle during boarding and the crew was very cold and short-tempered. Food was also absolutely vile. My mother also ended up getting sick from the air conditioning in the aircraft, they refused to give her a blanket.

"worst flight I have ever been on"

(Oman)

Trip Verified | I booked a ticket from an airline from Muscat to Batumi round ticket. My original flight from Dubai to Muscat was canceled, and I was forced to have 11 hours to transit which, if I had known from the start, I would have picked another option to fly. This caused me to rent a room outside the airport to sleep before my morning flight. My flight from Batumi to Dubai was delayed 4 hours, and no compensation or apologies was offered. At 5 am, 2 hours before my flight from Dubai to Muscat, I received a message that the flight would have a further delay from 7 am till 14:45. No apparent reason why, although there were no more sandstorms, and all flights were operating just fine. Someone decided this flight could delay, and other fights could go on. This delay caused me to miss another flight from Muscat to Salalah scheduled at 11:40 am with Salam Air which was not refundable. At the airport, I was trying to find ways to leave before 14:45, so I could meet my commitment in Salalah before 17:00. I checked if I could be offloaded from the flight so I could take my bags and leave on a flight with Oman air at 11:00 am. At first, they told me I could, and I went and purchased the flight from Oman air and another flight from Oman air from Muscat to Salalah at 16:30. I asked them to offload me and directed me to the arrival area to collect my bag. I went there and discovered that it was impossible because I could only collect my bag after the flight takeoff after 14:45. This means that both flights I purchased are now useless. I spoke to the people at the airport, and they only advised me to wait for the flight; otherwise, I would lose my bag. 5. I waited for my flight at 14:45. I have been in transit at the airport for 19 hours with no apparent reasons and no clarification. They started to board people at the gate at 14:20. Here, I realize another delay is happening. The flight only took off at 15:35, which again caused me to miss my flight from Muscat to Salalah at 16:30. Overall, this is the worst flight I have ever been on and caused me so much money for a hotel, transportation, and missed flights.

"worst experience I've ever had"

(Iran)

Trip Verified | The worst experience I've ever had. After a fantastic trip, it ended with this disastrous flight. First, the ticket didn't write about which terminal is our departure terminal, so we were confused and got off at the wrong terminal. After a long walk and another taxi, we reached the right terminal, at the entrance, we figured out that the flight has a 1-hour delay at the screen board and will take off at 23 instead of 22, but when we asked the airline personnel when getting the boarding pass, they said no there is no delay with this flight, however the take-off time on boarding pass was written 21. At last, the flight took off at 23:20 after another 20 min delay on the bus! Seats were very close to each other and it was hard for me to sit with a height of 180cm. No food or water were served to us, and said your ticket did not include any food, but our friend with the same ticket got a meal, also they were not happy with their meals. Then stewardesses collected left meals and dishes in plastic bags in their hands and talked loudly to themselves, what a disgusting scene! And at last, this disaster finished with an awful landing.

"treated with contempt and indifference"

(United Arab Emirates)

Trip Verified | Heartless, soulless staff and company. I am disgusted and appalled at what is the worst travel experience of my entire life with this airline. This is the first time I have flown with FlyDubai and rest assured it will be my last. One hour into my flight I became very feverish and experienced symptoms that correlated with gastroenteritis. I became visibly shaky and the passengers directly adjacent to me became concerned with my wellbeing and I moved to an empty extra legroom seat which I subsequently paid for. I asked for a blanket which was refused by the air hostess supervisor who explained that the blankets were reserved for business class passengers only. She made extremely mocking gestures to me as I continued to shake and I explained that the AC was extremely low and if I kept shaking I will throw up. I have never seen anyone with as much disregard for the duty of passenger care as her. The remainder of the passengers next to me were shocked at how nonchalant she was about the situation. When I threw up in the isle, she took little notice and instructed the other flight attendants to clean it up. It was only after seeing me continue to shake that she then brought a blanket and made several extremely condescending and rude comments "now you will be happy yeah?" as I sat visibly shaking. I wrapped myself in the blanket and she woke me several times to ask me why I wasn't sitting in the correct seat and I told her I would pay but I was clearly unwell and that's why I decided to move. She had such little care for how I was feeling and disregarded the sanctity of the human condition in front of her. Just because I didn't book business class does not mean I am to be treated subhuman and woken several times when I am trying to sleep through the fever. I paid for the seat and requested paracetamol several times, and my request was ignored several times. This airline had a duty of care towards a really sick passenger and I was treated with contempt and indifference. My complaint to FlyDubai was summarily dismissed and no compensatory effort attempted.

"Very poor service and communication"

(United Arab Emirates)

Trip Verified | Very poor service and communication. First they advised that the flight will be delayed by 1 hour. Later they made us board the aircraft and kept us waiting locked up in the plane for another 3 hours. Big delays in the bus transporting us from the terminal to the aircraft. Not a single apology from the airline officials after they made us disembark from the first aircraft and transported us back to the terminal and got us to board a 2nd aircraft. Total delays 6 hours without food. Worst ever experience.

"we had a really bad experience"

(Australia)

Not Verified | Unfortunately we had a really bad experience with Flydubai. Their service is rubbish, stuff not experienced not polite. Poorly talking to people and trying to tell you indirectly it’s a cheap flight so it’s a cheap service. Please save yourself time, effort, stress day and fly a good airline. It’s a clean plane but not happy with the staff and even the service staff at terminal 2 not nice as well.

"they weigh all hand luggage"

(United Arab Emirates)

Trip Verified | Cheap flights but they weigh all hand luggage and try to scam you there. $90 USD for 5kg of luggage. They made me go to an ATM and get cash out (they don’t take card). ATM fee was $5. Never flying with this airline again.

"I was five minutes late"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | The worst airline I have ever flown with. They are delayed, leave passengers on the run way waiting in very hot conditions with air conditioning on. The latest flight with them, I was five minutes late, was not allowed to board. I was not transferred to a later flight I had to pay over £1000 British pound for another flight, only 1 hour away . Please do not travel with this airline , it will be the worst experience you could ever imagine .
