I see the onboard menu section is not showing properly. I tried to fix it, but it still zooms in way too much, despite editing efforts. Sorry about that, I‘ll try an alternative method next time.
I love all the views of the Business class cabin! Some of the reviews skip ahead to when they're sitting down, or they board the plane with the camera pointed down and you can't see anything. Great job, great review!
Thank you very much:)) It’s always a bit of a balancing act to show the whole process, because a camera isn’t always welcome with ground staff and cabin crew. I try to do it discretely or I ask for permission, yet it can be challenging. So far I was (mostly) lucky.
Honestly, Saudia is too underrated in world of aviation. I'm a frequent flyer of this airline and I have tried their business class and economy both in Boeing 777-300ER and 787-9 and they are excellent. The service and comfort is quite exceptional, cabin crew are excellent as well. I have tried before their A330 from Jeddah to Cairo, yes the aircraft is a little outdated because the aircraft is ofcourse old but the amenities and services are great. What makes it incredible flying Saudia is the generous amount of luggage you can have compared to major airlines like Emirates, Etihad and Qatar. Overall, underrated yet exceptional.
I totally agree with what you say. So far I have only flown on their aging A330 and the B787-10, and I was quite happy with both experiences. I‘d fly them again without hesitation, and their lounge in Jeddah is worth a visit too.
Exactly! Overall I would recommend Saudia to anyone who's for bargain yet for comfort as well. I liked so much the luggage allowance 😂 Other major airlines are purely business on their mind but Saudia is comfort with a class 🎉
Don’t fry this airline this airline downgrade our business class to economy class and wage to pay me back just474$ from my 3199$ ticket.The worst airline.
Great video! I have flown this very route a couple of times and I have always enjoyed their service. I like very much the Dine on Demand concept they offer. It is really nice. The seat is more than comfortable and I see they keep adding movies… good job, Saudia!
Thank you very much. Honestly, I didn’t realize it was dine on demand. I was asked if I‘m ready to eat, so I thought it was just my turn to be served. Luckily I‘m always hungry when traveling ;-)
I had considered making a first flight (4 actually) with Saudi Airlines recently, but was put off by the many negative comments I read about them online. The poor service people were talking about seemed to fit with their very low pricing which undercuts many others by quite a margin. Your video review however is very positive and encouraging, "maybe" I'll give that airline a try after all. Thanks for sharing!
This was my second flight with Saudia, and I was happy with the crew and service on both flights. Only the seats were quite outdated on the A330, yet clean and comfortable. Maybe I was lucky on both flights, as I also saw other, less inspiring reviews. So far, I can well recommend then.
Great video, Chris. I must say, I was quite impressed with the Saudia Lounge and more importantly by their beautiful Business Class cabin. Meals looked great too. Cheers, Peter.
Another great review you've shared with us! 👍 I did not have the chance to experience Business-Class onboard their 787-10 aircraft yet. But I can only repeat what I've said about and commented on earlier SV reviews: SAUDIA simply is a great Airline! 👍 Lounge, Cabin, Seats, Comfort, Mealselection and Service onboard are just impressive - no matter what class of service. Thanks for this nicely made video and always happy 🛬 landings! 🙋🏼♀️✈💖
Thank you very much for the very nice comments, it’s always motivating me to continue. I‘ve liked both of my Saudia flights, and I intend to fly them in the future, hoping they are consistent:))
Great review but one of my favourite things about flying long-haul is the drinking 😅 . I have seen that Saudi does make up for it in terms of lower fares and good food.
Can you use the immigration fast lane in BKK with a Saudia Air Business ticket too when you arrive? And do you know, has Saudia Air a Lounge in BKK Airport?
Hi, yes, from my experience, the fast lane for immigration is available for any business class passengers. Regarding lounge I‘m not sure, as I only arrived with Saudia (left with Thai).
If I‘m not mistaken, I could have had something right after takeoff, but I believe nobody did, as it was very late at night and time to sleep. Not sure about the pre-arrival meal.
I see the onboard menu section is not showing properly. I tried to fix it, but it still zooms in way too much, despite editing efforts. Sorry about that, I‘ll try an alternative method next time.
Flew with them recently from Jeddah to Singapore on the same aircraft. Loved the seat, cabin crew were superb.
I‘m happy to hear that, since I believe consistency is key in order to set the right expectations. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Nice that you enjoyed my country’s flag carrier Saudia Airlines
Round trip business for 2500 to thailand 🇹🇭 all I need is juice and a sleep on a flight I'm taking that whole day.
Very nice video and very nice air line
Thank you very much
I Have Not Experienece SAUDIA Airlines,And Never Expererience The B787-10.Great Trip Report
Thank you very much much :))

@@forgotmypassport Ah ok, thanks for the answer!
It's just impressive and reliable than Etihad n Emirates.. good review 😮
Thank you:)
Nice video soon I will fly with saudia airlines from jfk , to bkk in business class how was food ???
Thank you:) Food quality was okay, but I was served all in one go. I usually prefer course by course servings.
Sad to see they removed pre-arrival meal and other menu instead of only offering breakfast on this route
If I‘m not mistaken, I could have had something right after takeoff, but I believe nobody did, as it was very late at night and time to sleep. Not sure about the pre-arrival meal.
@@forgotmypassport yes I think saudia offers dine on demand but excellent lounge and the seats!
@@ammar.2300the lounge was really amazing:)
U can take the headset?
I wish, unfortunately not.
@@forgotmypassport thx for the reply...will be using saudia next Wednesday to Kuala Lumpur
@amirulidham7167 enjoy:)
Haha, da hör ich doch richtig den Schweizer Dialekt raus oder?
Is so. Macht aber nix, oder? ;)
flown twice on saudia and got food poisoning both times, cheap flights but im for sure skipping the meals from now on!
Nice review! Loving the "schwitzarr" accent 🙂🤏👍
Thank you:) The accent isn’t intentional though 😆
