This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Having an honest, unbiased, un-sponsored review is a rare thing to come by in this day and age, keep doing what you are doing Kevin, I am booking my flights based on your reviews.

Hello Kevin, as usual this is a very well edited and fun review, thank you for your hard work.

I've flown on Saudia this year from CDG to KUL on a return flight (outbound in Economy with transit in RUH and inbound in business with transit in JED).
The flight in economy was one of the best I had in recent memory (It's been a while since I flew with Emirates so i don't have any comparison) and much better than some European airlines. Not only crew was great and meals excellent but their 777s come in a 3-3-3 config in economy something I had never encountered before, so the flight was very comfortable and spacious.
The flight in business was also great, with a friendly crew and great service. i appreciated the dine-on-demand, especially on the KUL-JED segment as it allowed me to sleep as soon as we took off and eat what I wanted when I woke up. I was very surprised by the quality overall given the price I paid, 700 euros for the business class segment.

Given their competitive prices and service, i intend to fly them again to Asia in 2023 and will again book a flight to KUL and use a LCC towards my final destination.

Great review! I'm enjoying the fact that you're reviewing the flights and airlines as you experience them; it's your main focus. So many other reviewers are too concerned about showing themselves all the time or just showing how biased they really are.

[runningrauster]

Really like your work! I’ll keep watching!

[stevene]

Once again loved the review - Food looked very good - Having travelled to the Kingdom itself a few years ago I never felt comfortable but that’s another matter- watching this made me feel like a drink and I don’t mean a soda - thanks

[yungyung]

Another nice video Kevin! Cant wait to see your videos in KL, going to Singapore end of February and your videos were again very helpful!

[brilliantbutblue]

Remote boarding gives the best thumbnail and impressive views of the plane 👍

[HenrysAviation]

An amazing video! You are honestly my new favourite flight reviewer, keep up the great work, Kevin!

[denisesommer-roque]

Love the background information of the airline, so interesting! Another informative and beautifully filmed review! Thank you Kevin for your unbiased reviews, love each and everyone. After this video I might consider flying Saudia when they show up as a viable option in my travel plans! (Funny to see the Flip Flop Traveller sans flip flops though 😆 although I fully understand your reasoning behind it)

[nidgemills]

Booked a flight from Paris to Sydney on Oman Air based on your BC review. Thanks for your lack of bias & exceptionally good reviews.

[paulkazzer]

Saudia’’s Lockheed L1011s were beautiful planes.

[walkwithjonas]

This Seat is stunning for an a320. I Flew the exakt Same Route in September. Great review!

[rodshephard]

Love your totally honest unbiased forward to 2023 for more of the same Kevin! Xmas greetings from Thailand!

[wp]

How come you didn’t show the seat diagram and talk about which seats to avoid? Are you no longer doing that on the flight reviews now? Other than that great video as always! I am so jealous that you are going to KL have a good time there!

[lolangtamad]

I love your videos. Very clear and informative.I hope you also do a mumbai to jeddah via Saudia business class. Thank u

[StevenYLol]

Very nicely made video and I enjoyed it very much, especially since it was narrated with proper observations and reflections. Thanks, Kevin again for the nice review!

(p.s. any consideration to cover mid-tier/HIX&Fairfield type hotels as well? Not much to cover service-wise but probably will be helpful for many of your audience as well!)

[AurelSalm]

Great review! And i was actually on the same flight as you ahaha i was on seat 3A
I actually enjoy this flight and i think Saudia really much improve since 2016 when i took them for the first time
See you around, hope i can catch you really next time

[gregorybaker]

You are so honest and respectful and deserve increased viewers hip.
Regarding camera working utubers hide their cameras and do not ask about filming and have had altercation several times with Sam Chui, the most disrespectful and arrogant of them all. He emailed to say it is a public place and can do it if he likes.

07:37 Notice that the amount of the Arabic coffee is the same as the one on the Gulf Air.. not sure if it's coinsident or that's their practice to just give small amount of coffee.. Thanks for sharing the video.. i love traveling too and an aviation enthusiast. :)
