Don't expect too much during the flight. Flydubai is a low-cost airline, but still with nice benefits.

In-flight refreshments

In-flight refreshments can only be purchased on a limited basis, see the photo of the in-flight refreshment menu.

For longer flights, it is therefore ideal to select and purchase hot food in your Manage my Booking on flydubai or to have tickets on the VALUE fare, which already includes hot food.

The so-called Standard Meal, which is included in the VALUE fare, is a portion of hot food and a cup of water. The food is tasty and the portions are generous. On longer flights, the cabin crew also passes around a menu of hot tea and coffee, which they offer to all passengers.

Entertainment system

The IFE, or in-flight entertainment system, is available on all flights. You can watch the progress of your flight on the screen or listen to free music. There is a classic 3.5mm jack for your headphones.

If you want to watch movies, series and TV shows, you need to purchase a package. For 20 aed you get series and TV shows, and for 40 aed you get the full range of movies on top of that. You can browse through the movies and then decide whether to buy the package.

Purchase is done by loading your physical credit card.

Wifi in flight

As of 2024, in-flight internet is not available on any Flydubai aircraft.

Connecting in Dubai

Questions like "Can I make the one-hour connection in Dubai?" are very common. The answer is yes.

Airlines never sell tickets that cannot be flown. Dubai's Terminal 2 is very small and you will only need 20 minutes at most to make the connection.

However, you can also choose a full day transfer during which you can explore Dubai and Jumeirah Beach. Find out more about transport from Dubai Airport.
