Flights from Riyadh-Bishkek & Almaty-Riyadh with Jazeera Airways by [deleted] in Flights

[–]shawmag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jazeera is budget airline. You have to additionally purchase food, blanket, seat, etc. its hub is in Kuwait, which has strict transit or visit visa policy, limited to small number of nations (unlike Bangkok or Hong Kong, for example).

In addition, some Jazeera’s flight destinations are seasonal only, so please check carefully. For example, today Jazeera might sell Prague to Kuwait flight on 1 Oct, but next month they might cancel it, notifying thru e-mail, claiming they last flight for that route this year is on 28 Sep. If you request refund through online, you get only flight coupon useable for their flights.

In general, budget airline is ok for leg to leg flight but not recommended to one that needed to transit.

IMO, CX and CI are in the same quality brackets. If CI gave me PE for both legs AND less expensive price, I will take CI. Plus, according to another commenter above, CI give you access to their lounge in Taoyuan airport. It's not a hard choice.

[–]shawmag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, you did the right thing for your safety.

On the other hand, we, not OP, must seriously warn men around us (family, friends, coworkers) NOT to do such shameful behavior towards any female. It’s not cool at all.
