Saudi Airlines-Any Reviews?

AsSalaamo Alaikum!

Has anyone flown Saudi Airlines internationally? How was your overall experience?

Re: Saudi Airlines-Any Reviews?

I haven't flown them, but one thing I can say for sure, it HAS to be better than PIA.

(Better planes, better crew and better service. )

Are you flying them soon?

Re: Saudi Airlines-Any Reviews?

i did...they are ok but it's often hard to deal with their attitude, especially transiting through Saudi Arabian airports. they behave as if they own you.

i would say it's bearable on the ground and its OK in the air.

i would LOVE to fly with them in future...in fact, i'll avoid them to avoid irritations.

they often have the lowest price from Canada, especially if you wanna stopover for 'Umra.

Hopefully in the near future. I was just curious, because their premium cabin air fares are much cheaper than other Middle Eastern carriers. And they serve most cities around the world.

Nas airline is the best airline of Saudia.

Re: Saudi Airlines-Any Reviews?

It does not currently fly to U.S.

Re: Saudi Airlines-Any Reviews?

Does it serve alcoholic beverages ? Just curious. :chai:

Re: Saudi Airlines-Any Reviews?

no…only a few airlines in the world do NOT serve alcohol…the ones i’ve flown are:

-PIA
-Kuwait Airways
-Saudia

most Islamic country’s airlines do serve alcohol.

i don’t remember if Etihad serves…i flew with them a few years ago…no one around me was having alcohol…it could be that they were all non drinkers or they were too shy to order a bottle or two…they may be serving in Business and First Class. i dunno.

No, Señor. The only exotic beverage SA serves (from reading the reviews) is Arabian Coffee. Saudi is among the handful of airlines that are officially Alcohol-Free zone.
