"worst traveling experience ever"

(Nepal)

Trip Verified | Kathmandu to Dubai. This is worst traveling experience ever. I have got all the documents but still fly Dubai staff didn’t board me in. I was supposed to depart on 20th but nobody can explain what was the issue.

"lack of entertainment option"

(United States)

Not Verified | Kathmandu to Dubai with flydubai. Had to take this airline because of it's codeshare with my primary airline. It's a narrow body aircraft with only economy class configuration, so didn't expect a great deal of seating comfort. But the lack of entertainment option made it quite frustrating. Didn't even have a screen showing the general information. The food did not taste nice and, the cabin crew compared to other airlines were below standard. Could never get connected with the on board WiFi either.

"very happy with the level of staff’s professionalism"

(Ghana)

Trip Verified | We travelled on a family vacation to Dubai and back two weeks ago. The trip was great, flying experience with Fly Dubai was especially wonderful because of the excellent customer service we received. We checked in two and a half hours early at the airport. Check in was smooth. Boarding commenced as per schedule and was systematically done. Cabin crew was courteous and warm. Inflight service was good too. We were seated on the 10th row, seat pitch was great and seats were very comfortable. Landing was 5 minutes early. We were carrying a DSLR Camera with us as it was a vacation trip. As we reached the arrival hall I suddenly realised we had forgotten the camera onboard. I instantly ran to the customer help desk in the arrival hall and informed him about the camera. The gentleman at the desk was spontaneous in response. He immediately called the security agent on-board and confirmed having it there. Staff coordinated with each other and got it arranged at the arrival hall in no time. We were very happy with the level of staff’s professionalism and efficiency. The trip was pleasant because it started at a great note. Flight back home was also great. We definitely recommend it to everyone!

"never travel with Flydubai again"

(Finland)

Trip Verified | Booked through Emirates and unfortunately did not check that the first length of our trip was with Flydubai from Helsinki to Dubai. The plane they use on this route is definitely not meant to keep you comfortable for a flight that takes 6-7 hours. The seats are uncomfortable, theres not enough space for your legs and arms and the overall feeling is just cramped and constricted. Felt like theres not enough room or air in the cabin. We had flex tickets so the meal was included. Food was ok, rather small portion with 1 dl of water to drink. For all the other drinks (even water) you had to pay separately. For the in flight entertainment you had to pay extra too. Didn't need any, my biggest problem was trying to shut the screen off. Quite a few of other passengers screens did not work at all. Cabin crew seemed to be in a lot of hurry and stress all the time, don't quite understand why, they only did 2 rounds of drinks. One of them was friendly and pleasant, the rest seemed almost rude. I can easily say I will never travel with Flydubai again. I'd rather stay at home.

"Legroom comfortable"

(Brazil)

Trip Verified | Dubai to Zanzibar. Code share of Emirates and i was very upset when I saw the boarding pass of flydubai. Called the agent and he knew that the flight will be of flydubai. Its an average airline and i would rate 3 out of 5. Food decent and as per taste not very heavy for midnight meal. Legroom comfortable. Inflight screen not working which is a necessity for long journey.

"not book more than necessary!"

(Austria)

Not Verified | Bratislava to Dubai. It is a low-cost airline - you can also tell this from the leg distance. We have booked the "Flex" tariff so that we also have a meal on the flight from Bratislava to Dubai. To be honest, I can only advise against these additional costs, since the food delivered is neither of quality or quantity. In the plane we then tried to book the film package for cash - only the monitor was defective - the same thing happened again on the return flight. Online check-in works, but there are no online boarding cards - in other words, you are waiting at the check-in. My result : Airline is ok, but absolutely not book more than necessary. Es ist eine Billigfluglinie - dies merkt man ebenfalls am Beinabstand. Wir haben den "Flex" Tarif gebucht damit wir auch ein Essen am Flug von Bratislava nach Dubai haben. Ehrlich gesagt kann ich von diesen Mehrkosten nur abraten, da sich das gelieferte Essen absolut weder in der Qualität noch Menge den Kosten gegenübersteht. Im Flieger haben wir dann versucht das Filmpaket gegen Barzahlung zu buchen - nur war der Monitor defekt - am Rückflug das gleiche nochmals ... Online Check in funktioniert, aber es gibt keine Onlineboardingkarten - sprich man steht am Check In an ... Mein Resultat: Fluglinie ist ok, aber absolut nicht mehr buchen als irgendwie notwendig!

"a wonderful journey with flydubai"

(Czech Republic)

Trip Verified | Yerevan to Dubai. It was a wonderful journey with flydubai. The have great legroom space for a person with a height of 5.8 ft tall. It was a great journey travelling with them. Aircraft looks relatively new and was kept really well. Seems like a new aircraft. Overall journey was great and my journey with them was very much satisfying and I definitely recommend flydubai to others. You need to experience it for yourself.

"Very impressed with the service"

(Austria)

Not Verified | Yerevan to Dubai with flydubai. Flew with my infant last week. I was standing in the queue for checking in my luggage and for collecting the boarding pass when the ground staff asked me to leave the queue and directly come to the counter because I was travelling with an infant alone. Really appreciate their way of dealing with people with special needs. Flight crew was also very helpful during the course of flight. Very impressed with the service.

"Beware of this rogue airline"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | flydubai cancelled this segment Bucharest to Dubai less than 14 days prior to leaving, offered a flight before or after which I could not take as I was transiting. They are claiming that I am not entitled to compensation, however under EC 261/2004, if the flight is cancelled less than 14 days before the flight is due to leave, I am entitled to a compensation of Euro 400. I am now awaiting their decision. I had to buy another one way for £350 ! Beware of this rogue airline, you will end up losing big.

"this company was a total mistake"

(Croatia)

Not Verified | Bought a ticket through Emirates from Frankfurt to Zanzibar, which was partly operated from Dubai to Zanzibar by flydubai. Really long wait in the bus in front of the plane, unadebile food, no entertainment, mostly broken tv's, no legroom whatsoever, coffee 3$ and only credit cards accepted. For such an expensive ticket half way with this company was a total mistake. Never again.
