Air Arabia
Air Arabia is an especially affordable airline aiming at the low cost flight market in the United Arab Emirates and into connections as far as Amsterdam and Casablanca. The airline exclusively uses the reliable Airbus 320 configured in such a way as to eliminate first and business class. It spreads the leg room throughout the plane.
Wows and Woes
Travel in the UAE can be a test for any United States citizen. Air Arabia, however, offers wonderful assistance; this makes even first time tourists feel right at home. The agents are either fluent in English or can quickly find someone. Legroom on the airline is more than adequate. Avoid trying to book at the airport at the last moment since most transactions are done online.
Insider Tips
By all means, both tourists and business travelers should book online at www.airarabia.com. Not only can tickets be obtained, but visa questions can be handled. The seat assignments are strictly enforced.
Author's Most Memorable Moment
It was a great thing to discover Air Arabia offers duty-free shopping on board. I was able to pick up a bottle of perfume for my daughter at 90 percent less than United States prices.
Bottom Line
Air Arabia is a comfortable, affordable alternative to other larger airlines serving the area. Legroom and services on board are wonderful.
