Saudia Airlines First Class.. this has been a long time coming. An airline that many of you won’t be familiar with, today I’m finding out what their new First Class Suites are really like. Given that tickets are usually multiple thousands of dollars, it’s not been easy to get onboard for this review. Coupled with Saudi Arabia being a notoriously secretive place, with a dislike of filming… it’s yet another challenge of todays journey.

I’m starting my flight in Jeddah, in the brand new terminal which has opened just a matter of weeks ago. I’ll be checking out their new lounge, overall premium ground service and of course a full trip report encompassing the bed/food/hard product onboard the Boeing 777-300ER, flying to London.

As always let me know what you think down below, and let me know if you’d fly Saudia Airlines / or if you’ve flown them before.

    Saudia was used to be notorious with their last minute flight change and daredevil pilots. But it's also the only two of the best landing i've experienced in my 20 years of international traveling.

    Sorry the combination of bad service, lack of options, and lack of alcohol makes this a no go. I would not pay $5,000 much less $10,000+ for this ticket. You did a great review as always but this is just a terrible product.

    I've flown Saudia a few times over the years. It's always been in C, not F. Being dry is not a big issue for me, even though I am not at all teetotal. Part of Skyteam was a plus too. Cabin service was good on all occasions. Best lounge was the little one at Dammam – very friendly there too.

    Will. Use a fork to eat your fruit! 😀you could catch something as your fingers are touching all those dirty surfaces. Love your videos and been watching you since you started during the pandemic!

    There are separate female male sections because Muslim men don’t touch women so they have separate sections

    Great review 👏🏽

    the prices right now (July 2022) for JED-LHR flight is ($6,900) round trip, much better than prices during the pandemic.

    Keep in mind that the female line will also be the one with brats. My wife and I raised two wonderful daughters, but other than our anticipated grandchildren, I don't need to encounter any children ever again.

    I have been on Saudia several times between Paris and Riyadh in economy. Their economy seats are spacious and food (very good chicken biryani mostly) excellent for economy standards. That good that I was disappointed with the same dish served later in the hotel. Flown Air France as well between the cities, they simply stop serving wine when the border is crossed.

    For that kind of money, they should have given you caviar with fresh eggs, at the very least. Eggs are so cheap. It didn't seem worth it.

    I had better experience flying Business Class from Riyadh. Since I work in a government hospital, we fly economy for free but we can upgrade it to Business class for less than $140. I was lucky that I always upgrade coz there was this one time where the luggages could not be loaded because of a faulty carousel and the flight had to be delayed. While it was utter chaos in the economy, I was able to check in my almost 70kgcheck in luggages hassle free. Then I went to their assigned lounged where there was an array of hot meals and snacks. Then boarding came and of course we were ushered first. Then meals had silver cutlery and our free overnight kit was as always from Ferragamo. Though no PJs. But the seats were reclining ang comfy too. 2 meals for a 9 hr flight. Best part is that we always get our luggages first too.Meanwhile the econony passengers got theirs 3 days after. Looking back it was the best $140 dollars spent.

    I'm afraid you lost me at the dry airline bit, but handy to know, the half assed ground facilities & very ordinary meals is inexcusable, especially for 1st class & it's like chalk & cheese when comparing it to other middle eastern airlines like Qatar, but now we know, so thank you for suffering on our behalf.

    It’s sad that there aren’t yummy food from covid but before covid came there were delicious food.

    11,000 USD for LHR to JED medium haul and not even any booze? You are insane. Obviously not paying for this yourself but l surely do pity your advertising sponsor for such profligate lack of intelligence. Squarespace just who do you think you are?

    I love Saudi especially the people out there. They may look tough hard but they're lovable ❣️❣️

    Would not fly with saudia. I take Valium on flights, I’d probably get jailed for that.

    Hello, I have been watching your videos for a while now. I have just one question. What is up with you and the NASA shirts?

    i know i’m year late 😂😂, KAIA (Jeddah airport) have the worst administration u could see in the world, even local saudi airports have a better administration and about the ladies entrance because there r female security and things like that, about the A380 from Dubai because it’s always a busy line
