ALONE in NEW Saudia First Class Suites

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.

I flew Saudia from Jeddah many years ago on Economy and loved it, crew were amazing and the experience of wondering around the Duty Free whilst waiting for my flight to Johannesburg at 04h00 was great having missed the crowds. 1st class is a dream

As ex cabin crew for Saudia I can say that improvements has been made and they try to do better each time. Flying Saudia in the morning time is not the recommended (food reasons) i personally never liked the breakfast especially the omelette BUT their afternoon & dinner menu is a million times better and I would recommend any of the meals listed on the menu… the chicken biryani is a favorite amongst passengers and the fish is a favorite amongst crew😊 Caviar is mostly only served on US flights or afternoon/evening flights for other destinations. For the alcohol part well we as cabin crew loved the fact that there is no alcohol served on board and with the no alcohol policy and the prayer area at the aft of aircraft it makes them unique that is why most muslims prefer Saudi so they can pray and stay away from alcohol

Brilliant review. The hard product looks incredible to be fair! Curious to understand how you booked that flight though? I enjoy when you explained how booked in your other videos! Can't wait for future reviews. Keep them going 😊

$11, 000 and you got an omelette? Wow. Not sure if that is worth it for a 6 hour flight.

Great video and review as always! Nice to see you excited about getting to experience something new… not an easy find these days for such an accomplished pro like you!

Tip: if you get served in a coffee in an Arab country, always take it with your right hand! A tradition & sign of respect

On February 15th I flew business from New York to Jeddah and Jeddah to Delhi then in March 18th I went to Hyderabad to Riyadh and Then Riyadh to New York. Service was absolutely amazing and privacy in very good. I would recommend flying on Saudia.

[Rayoody]

all I can say that welcome to Saudi Arabia and SAUDIA. I hope you’re next trip would be miles better.

If I'm going to pay $11, 000 to fly first class there better damn well be champagne involved! 🥂

As someone who lives in saudi arabia it's nice to see this review

I miss Saudia Air. We always flew them when we went home from Riyadh to the Philippines for about 10 years. I basically flew with them twice a year for 10 years. Was upgraded once to first class because there was a booking error on our tickets. Glad to see they're still competitive.

I have never been this excited for one of your videos! Keep up the great work!

[justoldthings]

As someone from Saudi Arabia, the windows on the walls of the lounge are so recognizable

[schipholspottersams]

Oh wow, the new terminal is open. I dreaded transferring through Jeddah in the old terminal and lounge. It was so overcrowded. The new terminal is looking amazing
