Experiences with Felix Airways in Yemen?
http://www.felixairways.com/
State Department warnings about Yemen aside, anyone flown them? I'm mostly interested in whether their planes take off roughly on schedule, or whether they might cancel willy-nilly. I can't find any such stats online. I'm planning a trip to Socotra in February, so trying to figure out how to best align my award ticket to SAH with a paid ticket between SAH and SCT on Felix. All while trying to minimize too many overnight layovers at the Sheraton in Sana'a. Tricky. |
Hi
I flew last year with Felix Airways from Salalah (Oman) via Mukalla to Socotra and returning to Sanaa. All flights took off on time and the planes looked well maintained. I had booked the ticket 'on line' but as the online booking was only a reservation tool I paid the agent once I got to Salalah. They confirmed my booking and I paid for the whole journey in cash. I was a bit worried as I had no booking reference and also when I paid I got no ticket, confirmation.. but their system found all my flights. Socotra is a great place (although very basic!! especially after having stayed a week in 5 * hotel in Salalah) also Sanaa is very nice but I only stayed <12 hours before flying back to Europe (because of the security warning) but once there it felt safe. Enjoy |
hi
Felix has regular flights to Socotra leaving from Sana'a and with a "short stop" in Aden or more often Mukalla: you will not leave the aircraft, just waiting some minutes I often use Felix to come and go since I leave in Socotra, a paradise island. They do not cancel flights unless the weather is very bad, like in windy season (from may to agoust) I know their way to book is unusual for people coming from Europe or America, but I have never heard of somone complaining: you can get a reservation by e-mail and pay it by cash at airport or if you prefer you can buy the ticket using a local travel agency |

Enjoy I sent our passports off for Yemen visas yesterday, so that's my last obstacle to locking this trip down. Looking forward to it... |
Any recent experiences with Felix? I am considering flying to Socotra from Sharjah, via Mukalla, in March.
Also, if bigbrownboy did the Socotra trip I would be very interested to hear about it! |
I would also like to know more about Socotra!
Is it easy to get there? |
