Windrose or FlyDubai
We are flying to Dubai.
Two tour operators offer virtually the same price for a hotel, the difference is only in the air carrier.
Windrose Airbus A321? Or
FlyDubai Boeing 737-(I think 800)?
Maybe someone flew both or had time to figure out the prerets? I will be grateful!

flew these planes. Actually, I, as a person who does not understand aircraft, did not feel the difference. 800 seems to be more.
the main thing is that the plane is new, which is very rare))

choose the most suitable flight in time .. in the end it will turn out that this is the same plane :))))
IMHO, it's more convenient to fly from Friday to Friday..
because Friday is a day off there .. it’s not a pity if he has to transit :))))))

Fly Dubai only.
Pros:
1.cheap
2. there is a monitor in the front seats, there is music, information about the flight (free of charge) and movies / series (for a fee). Headphones can be bought directly on the plane, but your own from the phone are also suitable.
Minuses
1. They don't feed. There is food on board. Paid. Prices are high, food is fast food.
2. Arrives in Dubai late at night, departs back very early in the morning. That is, tour operators claiming, for example, 10 days, in fact provide 8 because you will spend 2 on flights.

Matriza The plane will not be the same (I hope))), since the flights are on different days and radically different times.

As far as I know, Air Arabian also flies from Kyiv
In any case, it doesn’t matter at all - all airlines are budget, as far as I know - all include baggage up to 20 kg + hand luggage
choose a convenient time and fly
the difference between the time in Dubai and Kyiv is 2 hours, because you will actually arrive at the hotel around 22-00 local time

So far I see the benefits:
In FlyDubai, the planes are newer and more comfortable, plus they have monitors in their seats (although this miracle can be easily replaced with a tablet in flight mode), at least I used it when I flew Wizzair. Of the minuses, the time of departure and arrival.
There are only two A321 Airbuses in Windrose (I didn’t find a photo inside), but I found the first issue of 1993 (((Departure time is more convenient, but they don’t fly every day and the proposed date (a day later) is not so convenient for me.
Difficult dilemma...

Pepsi, etc. 300ml. - 5 dirhams
Red Bull 250 - 10 dirhams

"Apyatka It's strange, but they told me that the flight from Kyiv is at 13.00, back at 9.00 in the morning."
That's pretty much how it is.)
Departure at 13.30, fly 5.30, the difference with Kyiv is 2 hours, go through a scan, passport control, get your luggage and arrive at the hotel at 22.30 at best.
The flight back is around 9 am. Therefore, you need to be at the airport at 7. Transfer is ordered for 6.
That is, two days fall out.
If you fly from Kyiv in the morning, and from Dubai in the evening, then you can go to the sea on the day of arrival and on the day of departure)

"I don't really care about food."
The flight is five and a half hours, you will spend at least an hour at the Dubai airport, you will arrive in Boryspil 2 hours before departure, which is already eight and a half hours. If you live not half an hour from Boryspil airport, then you will have to be hungry for more than 9 hours.
So it's better to take something with you.

FlyDubai is an Emirati company and the Wind Rose is Ukrainian .. accordingly, there is a huge difference in the quality of service and, most importantly, in the condition of the aircraft. I think when flying all the same, the main thing is safety and not food. And I do not think that 30 dirhams is so expensive to eat on the way to rest. The downside of Fly Dubai for me personally is that it flies from its own terminal (2 it seems) in which there is disgusting duty free. If the wind rose arrives on the 1st (I don’t know) then this is a plus for them in the first duty free excellent

I am very grateful to everyone for the advice.
The decision has not yet been made, today the travel agency (which flies with Windrose) offered a business class + 230 raccoons, it seems not a bad offer, but their charter takes off at 13.00. (again, not a good time, like FlyDubai).
Does anyone have a link or a map of Dubai airport?
And does it make sense to order the marhaba service (sorry if I made a mistake in the name, I don’t remember exactly)?
And maybe the coordinates of the guide with the car, Russian-speaking?

Why would you order Merhaba???? waste of money. How many layovers do you have in Dubai??
if you are flying with the same airline, they must check in your baggage to the final destination. and all. further themselves already.
they have a map of Dubai airport on their website, but it is kind of broken. I have a terminal map.
between 1m and 3m there is a transition. in the second / from the second carry buses.

I flew both! I liked Fly Dubai very much ... everyone has a personal screen - you can see the flight map (where exactly we are flying and how much is left until the end of the flight), games, movies (for a fee), ordering food ... But !!! food is not included in the price, you need to take derhams or small dollars ... We were not warned in advance and we almost went hungry with our 100 dollars)
The Airbus is smaller ... I also liked it ... the seats are more compact ... they feed ...
I felt confident on both planes)
Good luck)

I wonder how much games, movies cost? And in what language?
I was told today that in Windrose you also need to pay in advance for food + 20$ to the ticket (no menu choice).
