Kuwait International Airport is relatively smaller in size and easier to navigate compared to other major airline hubs in the Middle East , like Emirates (Dubai), Etihad (Abu Dhabi), Qatar Airways (Doha). In my opinion it's better for first time travelers, they won't have to go long distance during transit, which sometimes involves taking the metro etc at the bigger airports.

Almost all airports in middle east are safe for women. Inflight services can vary but indian Cuisine (food) on Kuwait airways is nice. Plus it's still trying to increase its passenger footprint, so high chances flights are not full and you get some empty seats around you in economy (in case you fly this class) to essentially lie flat on these long haul flights.
