This is my recent flight experience with flydubai to sofia in economy class

Dubai International airport : My terminal 3 Travel Experience

The flight starting from 1000 series departs from Terminal 3 which is exclusively from Emirates Terminal. The terminal be design is more organized and were far less chaotic than Terminal 2. There was an area of regular check-in at the counter, with no rush.

There was no confusion at immigration, thus security and immigration were short and straightforward. The airport was very efficient.

After finishing the check-in and security formalities, i stopped for breakfast at O’Regan’s. I ordered shakshuka and the dish delivered exactly what i needed- warm, flavorful and perfect for a morning departure.

Boarding via bus remote flight the bus transported us to the other side of the airport.
here's our plane, FZ 1757 (B737 MAX 8). Boarding the plane was quick and there were crew members at the door and welcomed us.

The cabin was clean and very well maintained an was in good condition, i thought first, but then I noticed and my seat can be reclined bit by pushing the button.
my allocated seat was 25C (Aisle seat and the flight was almost full. push-back was at 9.30 am for a scheduled departure time of 9:40. We took off at 10 am.
Moving on to the entrainment system. A good extensive selection of content through their IFE system. Spending time with the IFE and easy to use and had good visuals. I managed to sleep for a about an hour and spent the rest of the time watching move. The in- flight service was good. Back of the seat. touch screen monitor

Inflight Service: Service was great. the cabin crew offered excellent service and making multiple rounds with the beverage cart and meal service was good. the overall ambiance was calm and making the journey enjoyable.

At 1.30PM local time, we landed on runway Sofia Airport, Terminal 2. Total flight time was 5 hours and 45 minutes. The landing was smooth.

Conclusion

To conclude I would say flydubai has very good service and it has gotten better.
in both airports the toilets are very clean and the staff is always very friendly and efficient.
even the duty-free shops are up to the mark.
the flight itself was quite comfortable, their new Boeing 737 max 8 was smooth and the food was also up to the expected standard. The only downside was the bus boarding.
The entertainment was excellent and while I didn’t eat most of the meal it did seem decent. The seat was comfortable enough and the crew were friendly. Overall, the flight was fine. Of course, the pricing was amazing. I'd want to take this flight again.
