Air Arabia -- if possible will never again fly with them. They dont give food, even if I wanted to pay them ... they said ' no change'. They put arabic songs, not indian.
I dont think they are budget airline other than advertisement. Just check their fares during season...it is so high. Tjis time I chose to go India on Srilankan airline, it cost 400AED lesser than airarabia, may take a little bit longer time, but people say this is better. Let me see.

Sharjah is a close neighbor to Dubai (it’s just a 15 minute drive from the centre of Sharjah to Dubai International Airport).

The UAE has an improved web site for the rta which is the local transit authority. On this site you can build a routing on the public transport within the Emirates. It is a great tool if you want to avoid the cabs. To get from the aiport in Sharjah I had to take 2 buses and the new metro which stops in front of Terminal three at DXB. The whole trip cost $5-7 USD which is much cheaper than the cabs.

Sharjah has a small but efficient airport that is home to Air Arabia for the most part. The rest of the flights tend to be strictly cargo. It is a small but managable place with connections via public transport to Dubai. If you take a cab it will cost around 30 USD but that is made up with the money you will save by flying on Air Arabia.

once you are out of the Arrival terminal you'll find a bus transportation that will take you to the city. The bus leaves every 30 minutes from 6 a.m. to midnight. It will coast 5 Dh (about 1 Euro). From the City but station you can take a bus to Dubai.

Sharajah airport can be considered the Dubai local cost companies airport.
Infact it's just 30 minuts away from the cities.We left and landed here from Sanaa with air arabia.Evene if the airport is not as huge as the Dubai one, it's big enough to be a low cost one.

Air Arabia, known in Arabic as Al Arabia or Al Arabiya, is a low-cost or budget airways established in October 2003 as a joint venture between two Sharjah government departments, the Civil Aviation Department and the Sharjah Airport Authority. Its slogan is (Be Smart. Pay Less. Fly More :-)
I have their T-Shirt :-)
Destinations
Air Arabia is the first air lines of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and is focused on catering to flights within the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. It currrently has flights to Bahrain, Egypt, India, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. All flights provided by Al-Arabia are flown onboard a modified Airbus A320, which contains a total of 150 seats instead of 189 seats, So more leg space for tall travelers :-)
Air Fares (Ticket Prices)
As Air Arabia provides only the essentials needed for travelling, it has air fares that are normally 40% cheaper than other traditional airlines. Its fares are quoted on one-way basis, excluding taxes, fees and charges. The advantage of the one-way fare is to allow travellers to choose whether they wish to return and on what date. The initial fare quoted by Al-Arabia will increase as less seats are available on a particular flight, so its essential to book early to ensure the lowest cost of tickets.
The Differences
Being a no-frills airlines, Air Arabia has a number of differences comparing to other commercial airlines:
A ticket is lost if the flight is missed and you can only change a ticket less than 24-hours before the flight.
The check-in counter is closed 45 minutes before a flight.
It is a ticket-less airlines, so all that is needed to check-in is a copy of the confirmation reference.
Each adult or child ticket gets 20 to 30 kilos in check-in baggage and 7 kilos in carry-on baggage.
Its flights don't have a first or business class.
