Fly Dubai?
 
Need to travel one way from Kuwait to Dubai. My travel dates are not flexible. Have read mixed reviews about Fly Dubai, and worried that the flight could be cancelled. My other option is Air Arabia and then a bus to Dubai, or paying double to fly with Emirates.

What is my best option for a flight from Kuwait to Dubai?

BTW, I did check Kuwait Airlines but their flights depart in the morning and I need to travel in the evening.

Thanks.

There's nothing wrong with flydubai for a short flight, especially if you are terminating in DXB, as Terminal 2 is not a fun place to originate, and I would also advise against using flydubai for connecting itineraries.

Their aircraft are new and clean. I cannot speak to your question about whether they are more cancellation-prone than other airlines, but it's not a bad choice for your circumstances. The main down-side is that there may be long lines at KWI, as this airline doesn't have on-line check-in (except for a few routes), which seems bizarre for a start-up budget airline.

What date are you planning to fly ?
Be careful with Flydubai. I was looking at them for a date mid 2014.
Then, discovered that their Ops were to relocate to Al Maktoum (DWC) - not sure when. This ruined the DXB connection I had in mind.
