| This is worse than a thai prison | | surejb, 11/15/2009 | Flew thru this place twice, both entailing stays of more than 8 hours. The budget airline Air Arabia has its hub here...
The place is run by a staff who are the most arrogant and racist workforce in the Middle-East. Arabs are renowned for their hospitality esp. in Bahrain Oman Al Ain Ras Al Khaimah etc...but the HR guys must have recruited the most racist people to staff the airport.
I actually saw a staff use his feet to awaken (can say kick) an Afghani worker who was napping on the floor. The airport is mainly used by labourers from the Sub-continet, Far-East North Africans etc. So they dont cater to the western diaspora of UAE, which means they can run the place like a prison.
Everything from check in to boarding is deplorable and appalling. Passengers are treated like animals
The place stinks.
The common use toilets are worse than ones in train stations in Lahore.
The only relief is the pay and use lounge which is atleast staffed by humans and the toilets showers and bathrooms are clean.
Not much food choices, but atleast better than having to spend time in the common area. The common area doesn't have many amenities for spending the night.
you'll have to stretch out on the unclean floor if you really want to doze. Never travel thru this airport if it involves for more than an hour of transit |
