can buy from an exchange shop with your air arabia reservations number like Al Ansari exchange but only if you have been registered or have a local profile with that exchange shop. if you use a UAE number the shop might request that the person with the profile appears with you to do the transaction. call center does not know of the issue that exchange shops present to passengers.

online but unpaid reservations will be put on hold for under 2 hours and the website will send an email with a link to purchase, the purchase link expires but that might have been my phone having a problem clicking the link a day later.
the call center can put reservations on hold for 24 hours but if the flight is close to the departure time like 1 or 2 days in advance or flight filling up it will only be for 12 hours.

seems like a nice airline but difficult to purchase tickets

often call center phone push button prompts will not work with google voice or skype so you have to hang up and keep calling till you can press 2 for english.
