After 4 years, I travelled by air with
@SaudiAirlinesEn. Honestly, after my personal tragedy I was not willing for travelling or flying. But Saudia made it easier, step by step. From boarding, the crew greeted us with dates, nuts & Zamzam - that small touch of warmth matters a lot. Then came blankets, pillows, headphones… and I was amazed to find WiFi at 35,000 ft. It made the journey less heavy on my heart.
Landed at Jeddah Airport and the staff were extra kind to Pakistanis. The airport felt spotless, travel-friendly, full of international brands on sale and yummy food options everywhere. I saw mostly foreigners on transit flights.
Sitting so close to “Makkah”, I quietly prayed: Ya Allah, call me here for Umrah and Hajj. In Hajj season, only hujjaj can go to Makkah and Madina. My next flight to Paris was in Saudia’s big Boeing - comfortable, clean, great hospitality. I was impressed again.
Riyadh Air has also launched recently. I’m a fan of Saudi Hawks and now super excited to see the new induction of planes with Riyadh Air. Wish them all the best - great to see Saudi aviation growing.
Riyadh & Jeddah airports felt women-friendly and safe - that gave me so much peace of mind as a female traveler. In today’s situation, Saudia truly feels like the safest transit option compared to other Gulf airlines. I bought my own tickets - this is not a sponsored post. Just sharing for information so other people can make their travelling easier.
