What is the experience like flying with Kuwait Airways?

Kuwait airways is ass. If you are trying to save money, you get what you pay for. In my opinion they are probably the worst airline of all the middle east options

If the fare is cheap, go for it. I flew them many times on their old LHR to NYC as it was the cheapest First Class product across the Atlantic. If you expect nothing, you will be happy. I used to fly FC for the same price as BA economy. On that basis, the old enormous seats were great. The food delivered on a trolley from which you could choose was great. The baggage allowance was great. The price was extraordinary. BUT I never flew via Kuwait and never had a plane that went tech. Every flight was delayed by an hour or so, but at the crazy prices I used to pay, I put up with it.

They’re not very good based on what a Kuwaiti friend of mine told me. He flew them many times because it was free for him. He said all the other major middle eastern carriers were better.

I’ve flown with Qatar, Etihad and Emirates and I’d say for business class they’re all more or less on par.

For coach I think Emirates and Qatar were a bit better.

But I wouldn’t fly any of them now. Maybe business class if I had no other choice but forget economy or premium economy.

The quality of the passengers is much worse than it was 15 years ago. You’re rolling the dice being sat next to a train wreck for 8+ hours.

Also their hub airports aren’t very nice compared to say Incheon or Singapore or even many European airports.

They are really good my wife was a manager for them, but they don't serve Alcohol, they have a very modern fleet.

Isn't Kuwait Air a dry airline? They don't serve alcohol on the plane. Some people might consider this a knock-out criterion. People like me.
