Their initial flights will whisk passengers back and forth between Dubai and Beirut as well as Dubai and Amman, Jordan. To kick things off the airline is offering fares around $100 each way, with flights a little cheaper out of Dubai. Don’t get too excited over the low fares, since they’ll charge you a couple bucks to pick out your seat, a little more to check a bag, and around $15 if you want to guarantee some extra legroom. Drinks and snacks are extra too, but on their flights over two and half hours they’ll offer something hot—but it’s not totally clear if that’s extra too.

Once in the cabin you’ll be enjoying some new Recaro seats that have the seat pockets at the top of the seat, so you’ll get a little more legroom—they say about 30 inches between the back of your seat and the seat in front of you. The airlines says that they will "expand rapidly" so we are eager to see when they will deliver on their promise to further expand to countries in the Middle East and to India. For now, we guess we should be happy with what we've got so far.
