Saudi Arabian Airlines Uncovered - Should You Fly SAUDIA?
Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA) recently launched flights to South Korea. I flew on SAUDIA B787 Dreamliner from Seoul Incheon to Jeddah via Riyadh.
It is interesting for me to see who travels on this new SAUDIA flight as the country only recently opened to tourism and transit. During the flight, I reviewed all the SAUDIA in-flight service offerings including an onboard chef cooking fresh eggs for breakfast.
SAUDIA is a no-alcohol airline, there is a dedicated prayer area on their widebody aircraft. The transit in Jeddah was easy. Finally, the airport is under one roof. During the transit, I visited the new SAUDIA Al Fursan Lounge. The lounge is the largest lounge in Skyteam airlines, which can accommodate up to 10,000 passengers a day.
During each Hajj season, the airline carries over 100,000 passengers within a few weeks in and out of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I hope to document it in the next Hajj season.
Saudia New A320 Flat Bed Business Class Scenic Flight
This is a flight I took when leaving Saudi Arabia for Europe. Saudia use low density refurbished A320s on longer haul flights to Europe. These A320s have been refurbished with flatbed Business Class seats, seat back IFE in all classes and have Wi-Fi on-board.
In the beginning of the video, I am sharing with you the key things you need to know and expect when flying Saudia.
The flight from Jeddah to Geneva uses the new Jeddah Terminal 1. Check out the flight amenities, food and beverages and service onboard Saudia’s signature Business Class. It was very scenic over the Red Sea and European Alps enroute to Geneva.

Flying the New SAUDIA - Arabian Adventure to Al Ula ????????
I flew on SAUDIA A321neo with the airline’s new branding from Riyadh to Al Ula, the new Saudi tourism destination. Throughout the flight, SAUDIA shows its new branding and product onboard. The crew has changed into a new uniform. Let me know what you think of SAUDIA’s new livery and branding?
The landscape changed dramatically as we approached Al Ula. Enjoy the cockpit footage of the landing at Al Ula International Airport.
The scenery at Al Ula is captivating with strange-shaped stones along the highway. We visited “The Maraya” which is the world’s biggest mirror building standing in the middle of nature with sharp reflections. After a short lunch in the old town of Al Ula, we headed to Hegra; a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was the southern city of the Nabataean kingdom, famed for its spectacular monumental tombs.
We ended the day trip at the Elephant Rock before heading back to board the SAUDIA flight to Riyadh. On the way back, I experienced SAUDIA’s regional business class and gave my feedback on the seat and service.

Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA) has always been kind of a mysterious airline to the west and that’s exactly why I found it interesting. It is a major airline in the Middle East, with 150 airplanes, but historically their focus is to serve their customer inside Saudi Arabia.
I recently flew on a Saudia B787 Dreamliner from Dubai to Jeddah. The largest country in the Middle East has opened their doors to visitors again. Let’s find out from my journey what’s changed in SAUDIA during the pandemic.
During my visit, I was driven for the first time by a Saudi lady. I visited the SAUDIA crew training centre and saw a new batch of Saudi National female cabin crew being trained. A couple of years ago it would’ve been impossible to see a Saudi female driving or serving as a flight attendant.
I interviewed Saudia's CEO, Captain Ibrahim Koshy. He mentioned a lot of things are changing inside the 75-year-old airline, with goals to transport 100 million tourists to Saudi Arabia with vision 2030. The airline is at a turning point. In the next 5-10 years it will be interesting to see how Saudia develops itself on the global aviation footprint.
Flying Saudia - Uncover Saudi Arabia as a Tourist ???????? ترجمة عربية
For more info on Away: Pls visit
This is part 1 of 3 vlogs of my visit to Saudi Arabia with the recent opening of E-Tourist Visa. In the first episode, I flew on Saudia A330 in Business Class from Dubai to Riyadh. A lot of behind the scenes filming from the cockpit, the crew and service delivery on the flight.
Once arrived in Riyadh, I was shown a tour of the city's market, fort, museum and Edge of the World. Throughout my tour, I seek explanation and the truth to some stereotype conception about Saudi Arabia.
The goal of this trip is to give you a realistic view on tourism in a country that was closed to non-religious travelers. The video does not endorse Saudi Arabia but merely showing my own experience there. My videographer and I were given permission to film on-board Saudia. This was not a paid content by Saudi Arabia. We will explore more aviation and the new Jeddah Terminal in next video.

This is my third vlog in Saudi Arabia focus on the aviation sector. I had a quick tour of Riyadh Airport include ramp access to film the commercial and private aviation scenes. I visited the Saudia Al Fursan Lounge at Terminal 5 of Riyadh before boarding my Saudia B787-9 Dreamliner flight to Jeddah. It was a quick 1.5 hours domestic flight but interesting to see a dedicated prayer area and the service provided on-board.
Once arrived in Jeddah, I met up with Tour Guide Abir to explore the city, the Sea Mosque and Old Jeddah City.
Then I tried out Saudi Low Cost Carrier Flyadeal from Jeddah to Abha, it was an interesting experience to see the popularity of Low Cost Airlines rising inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Abha is an interesting city with green mountains and different landscape. I met fellow vlogger Eva zu Beck and Nara and we've discussed about how tourism is changing the country.

Saudi Arabia's New National Airline - Riyadh Air Takes Flight
Riyadh Air made its international debut at the Paris Airshow with a striking purple Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The new airline has plans to carry more than 100 million passengers with a network of more than 100 destinations by the end of the decade.
It placed a large order with Boeing for 787-9 Dreamliner jets in March, with 39 confirmed orders and 33 options. The airline CEO Tony Douglas recently said more orders for planes were being discussed with manufacturers. The airline is targeting the launch of its first commercial services in 2025.
CEO Tony Douglas has mentioned it plans to focus on the needs of the Saudi market rather than trying to compete with its bigger rivals like Emirates and Qatar Airways.

The Complete Emirates A380 First Class Review
The Complete Review of Emirates Airline A380 First Class.
I flew on Emirates EK131 from Dubai to Moscow in First Class. Before the flight, I experienced the Emirates First Class Lounge. Once on board, I was given an introduction to the First Class Suite, First Class amenities, on-demand dining, and onboard lounge (Bar).
Later, I even took a shower at the onboard shower and spa at 40,000ft. Amazing hospitality from all the Emirates crew.
Etihad A380 First Class Apartment - World’s Best?
The king of the skies - A380 is back at Etihad. I sampled some of the finest First Class premium experiences onboard Etihad A380 from London to Abu Dhabi.
Etihad A380s were grounded and stored in Teruel, Spain. Earlier this year, the airline made an announcement that 4 of its A380 will be returning to service flying between London and Abu Dhabi. The Captain gave a thorough briefing of the flight and how the crew has to re-qualify to fly on the A380. Enjoy the takeoff footage from the cockpit.
Etihad has 9 First Class apartments in unique seating configurations. The best seat is window seat 4A and 4K with forward facing. During the flight, I sampled their First Class offerings of pajamas, amenities, food, and beverage including caviar and steak cooked to my liking. The ottoman can be converted into a flatbed while you still have space. This unconventional design makes the Etihad First Class apartment stand out. I was even offered a shower at 39,000 feet.
Before landing, I have an opportunity to visit The Residence which is a 3-room suite with your own living room, bathroom and bedroom. After the flight, I gave my full verdict on Etihad A380 First Class.
Flying Saudia Airlines Business Class - Worth It?

My WORST Flight Experiences - What Happened on These Flights?
What was your worst flight experience? I recently experienced some of the most uncomfortable, expensive, and basic services on my recent flights.
I had an uncomfortable flight on Southwest Airlines to Dallas. Nothing really went wrong. Just one of those days you have no shoulder room with 3 big guys in the same row. It was beyond a tight squeeze. Southwest has a free seating policy which is more speedy but has no guarantee of seat and space. The narrower width on the 737 didn’t help of course, I think A320 may be better in my situation with a wider fuselage.
Next, I flew on Delta B717 to Atlanta. The flight time was 2 hours and there was only a snack available in First Class. This does not compare well with many international airlines which serve a full meal for the same length of the flight. It reflects the current state of airline service. The fares are much higher now but passengers are not getting more out of it.
On my recent United flight from New York to LA, I was served very basic food and the spoon was not even cleaned and checked properly. United has probably one of the worst in-flight catering over the years.
I’ve also had some good experiences recently on Bangkok Airways and Korean Air. All passengers on Bangkok Air can enjoy the airport lounge before the flight and receive a full meal on a 1-hour domestic flight.

Jeddah New Airport Terminal - Saudi Arabia’s Latest Landmark مطار جدة
I have recently visited the Jeddah King AbdulAziz Int'l Airport New Terminal 1, which has partially opened for flights.
The video shows you both the exterior and interior, in both landside and airside of the new terminal. There is a large green garden in between the terminals to provide nice greenery and peace for travelers. I also visited Saudia new Al Fursan Lounge on the domestic side. On arrival, there is a large unique aquarium which house over 2,000 fishes. The new terminal connects directly to the train station which will run direct service to Makkah and Medina.
The official is stating that by Q1 next year, all existing flights from South Terminal will moved to the new Terminal 1. No date given from other airlines in North Terminal.
King AbdulAziz International Airport (KAIA) New Terminal has a total area of 810,000 square meters and a capacity for handling 30 million passengers a year. It will be able to accommodate up to 70 aircraft simultaneously, including the Airbus A380 superjumbo jet.
The new terminal has 46 gates, 84 boarding bridges. The 136 meter-high air traffic control (ATC) tower with its 9-meter antenna is the second tallest in the world after Kuala Lumpur Int'l.

World's Most Underrated First and Business Class - Oman Air
I traveled on Oman Air in July to try out their new Boeing 787 in First and Business Class from Dubai to London via Muscat. It was an amazing experience on both flights with excellent product and service. Oman Air crew is wearing their new uniform on-board as well.
During my transit in Muscat, I visited Oman Air First Class Lounge. The lounge is total luxury and feel extremely intimate. Have you flown Oman Air in premium class?
