In this segment we were going back to Dubai for the last part of our trip before heading back to Canada. I had no idea that Fly Dubai has its own terminal at Kuwait and when the taxi driver by passed the main terminal I was a bit shocked as I thought he is going the wrong way and then he said that Fly Dubai has its terminal on the other side of the airport.
Then we arrived at the Sheikh Saad Terminal here that is designated to Fly Dubai. The terminal was very tiny with not much to do at all.
Small check in area
Small shopping area before security check at the centre of the terminal with a small food court upstairs
Upstairs with windows overlooking the apron, which was nice
The flight prior to us leaving for Dubai
Beutiful KUwait A340. I love Kuwait's livery :)
Location of the terminal compared to the main terminal
Then we went past small secuirty check and passport control to air side- Air side was just a small waiting area with no shops at all.
We sat next to the window and I could take some pictures of planes going by
Our plane from Dubai just landed
Here it is
Flight crew opening the doors
A beautiful 777 passing by :)
Then it was time to board and we walked towards the plane
Looking back at the terminal, it looks much nicer from the outside
The seat
ok legroom and seat width
The only function that worked on the IFE was the flight map and you had to pay extra for the movies
And of course you had to pay for the food too
Security video with some popular Arabic cartoon figures called Freej, which was fun to watch :)
Taxing with the whole terminal visible
Take off

Fly Dubai flies out of Terminal 2 in DXB on the other side of the airport and below is their ramp
Going towards immigration
Thankfully the line ups at this time were not as bad as the huge line ups at terminal 1

Hope you enjoyed this FR :)
Nice report! Flydubai looks like a cool airline to fly on :)
Thank you Wingslover, yes it's a nice airline for sure :)
Thanks for your report and the whole routing.
Your reports include some nice pictures. The bonus about Tehran is really interesting.
How long was the flight ?
It's a low-cost so you have to pay for everything but at least the plane is equipped with IFE and you can access the map for free.
Thanks os much K2World. You are right, even though it is low cost the great thing is that map is still available. The flight was around 1 hour 20 minutes. I'm glad you liked the pictures of Tehran :)
Thanks for sharing this FR
Nice pictures as usual
FlyDubai seems to be a good low cost carrier
Were the BOB's offers expensive ?
Thank you lagentsecret. Yes FlyDubai is for sure a nice low cost airline. Sorry I'm not sure what BOB means but if you mean the menu food, I should say that it was not pricey at all. It was priced fairly for sandwich and meals around 8 USD and cheaper for snacks :)
Hi and thank you for this nice report.
I´m thinking of flying DXB-KWI as well, can you please tell us what was the exact price for this flight? Sorry if I missed it mentioned somewhere before.
Thank you,
Michael
Thank you. Yes, for sure. I bought my ticket on Oct. 20, 2014 for my trip on Jan. 16th. This is a one way ticket. Note that I had to pay $13 for each luggage weighing up to 20 KG. If you reserve your seats online it's an additional $1.50 and to pay for your fare with debit or credit card you need to pay extra $4.00 so with all thee extras and tax my total for a one way ticket came up to $117 USD.
