Our flight to Amsterdam was canceled and changed to Brussels. This flight was delayed for two hours so we would arrive late at night. So far no problem because Air Arabia would provide busses to transfer us from Brussels to Amsterdam as they had confirmed by email. When we arrived at Brussels Airport no bus was to be found. We tried for 1.5 hour to contact Air Arabia but with no results. I'm a 75+ year old senior with mobility issues and was left alone with no transfer. Finally we decided to take a taxi to a hotel in Brussels and travel the next day to our destination. When we got home we contacted Air Arabia about their poor performance and lack of communication. We also filled a complaint to have our costs compensated (taxi, hotel, train). But here we walked into a wall. You will only get formal standard reactions referring to their terms and conditions. Because we were flying with a non-EU airline from a non-EU city we cannot claim any compensation even though the case is very clear. If we were to depart from a EU city or with a EU airline, our claim would have been compensated. I learned my lesson and I advise everyone to make use of EU airlines if you can. In case of trouble you can claim your rights. With cowboys like Air Arabia your rights reach as far as terms and conditions and they are not in your favor.
