Jazeera Airways

I have flown with Jazeera many times. The seats are comfortable and staff usually polite. I have not had problems with an delays except once on a Bahrain-Kuwait flight (1 hour). Flight prices are good value for money if booked early. Prices for food/drink on board are acceptable.

I have travelled with Jazeera Airways on many occasions from Kuwait to Larnaca Bahrain Beirut etc. Generally the service is good for the money however if you do not book early the fares can be very high. Destinations are removed without informing customers and you never know when they will be resumed and when you contact customer services they give you some silly answer like "We dont have any information" which is why I though they were called customer services. I have always found the flights good FA polite and on time. The ground staff could do with some training in customer relations etc.

Whatever you do do not subscribe to the Al Jazeera Airways newsletter. It is impossible to unsubscribe. I would not travel with an airline that cannot comply with standard legislation around the word on email marketing.

Beirut - Kuwait (Jazeera Plus cabin). Ground-staff rude and inefficient. My luggage arrived as one of the last pieces in Kuwait Airport rather than first off! Cabin crew friendly and attentive food free Jazeera Plus cabin is comfortable. Toilets were clean and food tasty.

DXB-KWI-DXB Economy Class. Jazeera is clean relatively spacious and on-time even if there are no complimentary meals or many other frills. The staff are not terribly friendly but not rude either. The female flight attendants seemed warmer than the male ones. My only issue with the service was the check-in at Dubai. It was just ridiculous. I was the second person in the line when I arrived but it still took 20 minutes for the check-in agent to sort out the family in front of me and 10 minutes to serve me. No apology no smile. Also there didn't seem to be any information during my original booking that the service was making a stopover in Bahrain and on the day of my return flight I received an SMS to indicate that my flight had been moved forward 1.5 hours then another SMS to apologise and indicate that the flight was actually on time...! Quite strange. In my opinion Jazeera is satisfactory.

DXB-KWI-SAW (Istanbul Sabiha Goken Airport) return. For a low cost airline I was impressed with the online booking system inflight comfort (leather seats good legroom free IFE (bring your own headset or buy one on board) and connecting flight service. The shows/movies were a mix of Arabic and English as was the audio channels (x2 English only). All flights left and arrived on time. The area I found a bit inconsistent was the cabin crew. On some flights the crew were attentive and knew what they were doing. By contrast on other sectors the cabin crew had an "I don't know" attitude. Of particular concern was on the flight out of SAW whereby the safety demonstration was still being played on the IFE as the plane took off! Can't blame the pilots here but begs the question as to what an Earth the cabin crew were doing! For a young airline they have an excellent product but need to make their service a bit more consistent. The product comfort in terms of seats and IFE are amongst the best I've seen on any narrow body aircraft and provided they keep the prices low I'd highly recommend them.

I've flown Jazeera on 7 return flights. Mostly KWI-BEY-KWI and KWI-DXB-KWI. It doesn't compare to EK for sure but it's better than Kuwait Airways. Value for money is good if you have time to hunt the special offers and hot deals - something that happens very frequently. Food quality and variety are terrible staff are not friendly at all. They make you feel as if you flying for free (which is true when you pay KD1 for the ticket w/o taxes of course). However punctuality is something to be praised. All flights I've been on-board operated on time.

Booked a ticket from Cochin to Dubai on 15th Feb 2008. Reached the airport the flight didn't operate - staff said technical problem. They said the ticket will be refunded or one year open ticket in return Just contact the given e-mail. Booked another costly ticket to Dubai and since then was trying to send mail after mail to them. No reply from Jazeera Airways.

DXB-KWI-DXB on new A320 outbound; slightly older A320 inbound. On time departure both ways. On outbound bus journey to remote parking bay took over 20 minutes - a typical DXB problem. Less than 30% occupancy outbound; around 70% inbound. IFE (on flip-down LCD screens one per every three rows) pretty useless/boring. Efficient LCC which does get you from A to B with minimum fuss.

I booked a ticket from Kuwait to Alexandria on the flight scheduled noontime on 9th January 2008. On arrival to the airport we were told the flight was cancelled. As if the disappointment of losing the travel day was not enough no apology was provided and passengers were simply told to return home and show up at the airport at 4:30 am the next day to join the next flight. There was no contact to save passengers the trip to the airport. There was no apology whether on arrival to the airport to find the flight was cancelled neither the next day oral or by email. The flight the next day was on time seats clean but the inconvenience of having my first choice cancelled and having to get up so early plus missing on a whole day dampened the whole travel experience. I would say it's good value for money but cancellation is a serious issue which should not be taken lightly by any airline
