SV: 50% off all fares
Saudia are offering 50% off all Guest and Business fares from 20 to 30 September for travel to be completed by 15 December. Could be useful for the brave for a Scaryteam run.

nah, I try to dummy but do not notice any significance compared to usual price.
supposedly discount on base bare only, but still. don't think there's any difference.
SV should apply promocode just like EY, so ones could notice the difference.
anyway, thanks OP.
edit: ex-KUL to KSA is notably lower. I stand corrected

I couldn't get it to work myself. GVA to AUH (via RUH) is coming out at a not unreasonable CHF1,700 but not quite the bargain I was expecting in this deal.
Maybe the deal doesn't appear until the final payment stage?

I had the misfortune of flying SV because of their cheap fares last year. I swore not to fly them. ever. again. YMMV. Also depends on route, I guess. Europe - Riyadh - Asia routing on SV is absolute worst. RUH is an absolute dump of an airport.

I've no plans to go there, but I see plenty of low fares to various cities in Saudi Arabia on SV departing from YYZ.
Under $2125 CAD $1610 USD in what they refer to as business "value".
Sub $650 CAD $494 USD for economy.
