Air Arabia thoughts

In the span of 1 week I took two roundtrip flights on Air Arabia.

The pros:
1) During the right time of day and from the right place in Dubai the trip to Sharjah International is about 20 minutes.
2) Price!
3) Relatively good legroom and seat width.
4) Good network.

The cons:
1) A shabby element to the planes.
2) Travel to and from Sharjah has the potential to be awful.
3) Immigration at Sharjah was a real pain in the arse every time.

Overall, I would certainly fly Air Arabia again. However, I am curious to try some of the other LCCs, and given my Skywards Gold status would prefer EK even with a small premium.

Check it out and post your own report.
