Flights and the difference between airlines
Saudia has the most flights (about 23 to 26 a day) and offers business class, followed by flynas with about 20 and flyadeal with about 16 to 24 at low-cost fares, and Riyadh Air with about 4 to 5 a day, also with business class. Through our own booking systems we offer competitive fares across different airlines.
A business trip in a day
Many travellers fly to Riyadh for a meeting and come back the same day: early-morning flights land before the working day starts, and evening flights take you back to Jeddah. Book the return with the outbound to secure your seat at peak times; the flight to Riyadh is slightly shorter than the flight back.
Before you travel
A Saudi national ID (or an Iqama for residents) is enough for domestic flights. During Riyadh Season and major exhibitions hotel rates go up, so book your hotel with your ticket.
