Don't expect too much during the flight. This is a classic lowcost, but still with nice benefits.
In-flight refreshments can only be purchased on a limited basis, see photo of the in-flight refreshment menu.
For longer flights, it is therefore ideal to select and purchase hot food in 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.
TheIFE, or inflight entertainment system, is available on all flights. You can watch the progress of your flight on the screen or listen to music for free. There is a classic 3.5mm jack for your headphones.
If you want to watch movies, series and TV shows, you have to buy a package. For 20 aed you get series and TV shows, and for 40 aed you get a 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.
Blankets and pillows are not available for economy class passengers.
Transfer in Dubai
Questions like "Can I make the one-hour layover 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'll 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.
The new route from Dubai to Bangkok has been cancelled as of March 2018 and flydubai has started working closely with Emirates. Passengers will thus fly from Prague with flydubai and then with Emirates. You will receive your boarding passes in Prague, as well as collect your luggage at the final destination. Transit zone buses provide transfers between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.
